Lunch was had with friends at Mood Food & Co on Lonsdale Street in Braddon.ย I quite enjoyed my first time there and was happy to go back. Lunch is different to the dinner menu which was exciting. Lots of yummy sounding things such as the crispy puffed duck, and the pulled pork belly calzone […] Read more…
During the Christmas shutdown period, I decided it was time to shop around for a new mattress. Halfway through browsing the many mattress shops in Fyshwick, I drove past Elaine’s Gourmet Pies (located at the bend of Wollongong Street) which was the only food shop open during that period. The sign claims these are award […] Read more…
Pistachio Dining has been on my list of places to try for about 5 years now. Located in Torrens, it’s not really on the way to anything so Iโve never had a chance to stop by. I finally organised a dinner there one weeknight with friends. Pistachio nuts are provided on the table for diners […] Read more…
Mrs Sackville recently opened up at the Kingston Foreshore. It’s not along the main strip by the lake, but faces the Bus Depot markets. A lovely framed menu stands outside. Upon entering, the first thing you notice is the mismatched furniture – wooden tables, cute cushions on the seats and benches, then glass tables and […] Read more…
Some friends and I had Sunday brunch at Trev’s in Dickson. They must have lost our booking because when I enquired about our table, they had to quickly scramble to get a table for 5 together and looked a little lost. I like the funky ‘Keep Calm’ posters on the wall, with ‘Keep Calm, Weekend […] Read more…
The Rum Bar opened up last Friday and I only knew about it when I walked past after having some $1 oysters at C Dine Bar. The place was packed out and when I walked inside to look at a menu, I noticed there were complimentary tapas that night – a foodie’s dream! However, the […] Read more…
The first time I went to Dolce & Salato, I noticed the large wood-fired oven in the corner but it wasn’t in action just yet. Just before Christmas, they fired up the oven and I got to try it out earlier this month. Some friends and I shared two pizzas between the three of us. […] Read more…
One of my work colleagues walked into work with a coffee cup that I didn’t recognise. I asked where he got his coffee from and he told me it’s the best place in Woden for coffee – Urban Bean Espresso Bar, located in the Department of Health building. He loves it because Urban Bean uses […] Read more…
So I’ve heard all this buzz around the Vietnamese street food stall, Roll’d, set up in the Canberra Centre food court. I was going to order the pho but it was a pretty hot day, so I thought a cold pork banh mi (Vietnamese pork roll) would go down better. I ordered the classic pork […] Read more…
I follow Penny University’s facebook page and noticed they recently introduced cronuts to their weekend menu. I’m informed that their bakers get in at 2am so the earlier you go in, the better chance you have of buying one. These maple and thyme glazed cronuts are displayed at the front counter near the cash register […] Read more…
