Earlier in the year, my foodie friends and I celebrated Lunar New Yearโs Eve at SoupStone. Located at the Australian National University near the bus station, it can be easy to walk past and miss it. When we arrive, the table is set up and ready with two high chairs, plastic cutlery, plates and cups […] Read more…
Since its shipping container days, the return of Miss Van’s has been highly anticipated. Now set up in Civic, the restaurant is difficult to get in to without a booking. I thought it was a good opportunity to book lunch here for my birthday earlier in the year. I like that the online booking form […] Read more…
Myanmar Corner at the Casey shops is a little gem of a restaurant. I’ve dined here only about 3 times as it’s located quite far from me – I wish it was closer! Let’s start with an entree. I love anything duck. So when I see shredded duck and onion puffs ($9 for three pieces) […] Read more…

As we navigate the new normal living with COVID, I’ve been trying to find eateries that aren’t packed with people inside.

Late last year, Super Emoji introduced its […] Read more…

We recently tried yum cha at Quan’s Kitchen, located at the Kippax shops. I’ve been meaning to try it out for years but it’s quite far for us to travel. Located just a few doors down from Bunny Beans, yum cha is available daily at lunch time. There are no trolleys but the yum cha […] Read more…
Around the corner near Dickson’s Share Tea, is small family-owned restaurant Flavours of Jiangnan. The owners speak Mandarin plus another dialect that I don’t understand (I should ask what it is). What I love about this place is the handmade thick flat white hand-pulled noodles. There’s actually so much to choose from the menu – […] Read more…
