A Canberra foodie's adventures
Some friends and I headed back to Papparich for dinner one weeknight. We got there at 6pm, however all diners must be present before a table is provided (I’m thinking that might only be the case on weekends).

I was shopping out at Majura Park and stopped to have a quick lunch. I noticed Frank and Beanz – a shop selling hot dogs, burritos, quesadillas, nachos and more. It claims to be a gourmet, healthy, fast food alternative. I ordered a classic – the beef burrito ($10.50) consisting of beef chilli con carne, […] Read more…

I’ve walked through Green Square in Kingston the last couple of months wondering what would open up in the building being renovated there. I think quite a bit of work went into the building’s facade.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on The Cupping Room – a project by Ona Coffee. Their aim is to ‘…involve, engage and educate coffee drinkers in the finer appreciation of coffee’. Located on London Circuit across the road from UniPub and the police station, the place looks impressive with the wooden paneling outside. I […] Read more…
The highly anticipated Malaysian chain restaurant, PappaRich, opened up in Canberra on the weekend. Going through their menu online, I love the fact that all food and drink items have a picture against it. Two of my friends and I decided to dine there on Monday evening. We knew it was very busy on the […] Read more…
