Note: I was invited to dine at Gami, however all opinions are my own. Gami Chicken and Beer is tucked away at the Canberra Centre along Bunda Street. I haven’t actually been back since my last review in 2019, so when the team asked me to come by again to try some of the new […] Read more…

Indian Dining Club
Note: I was invited to dine in at Indian Dining Club however all opinions are my own. Indian Dining Club is located in Belconnen, right on the water’s edge with outdoor tables on the deck so I can imagine nice summery evenings with delicious food. There’s an elegance to the décor with plush carpet, comfy […] Read more…
Cartel Tacos (Queanbeyan)
After lots of hype on social media and word of mouth, I finally managed to go to lunch at Cartel Tacos in Queanbeyan with a friend. It is a Friday lunch time so it isn’t too busy. I hear it gets packed on the weekends and at dinner time with a queue out the door. […] Read more…
Naadam
Note: I was invited to dine in as a guest at Naadam, however all opinions are my own. I was invited to the grand opening of Canberra’s first Mongolian restaurant, Naadam in Phillip. After a light Mongolian BBQ (horhog) of lamb brisket roasted in tallow, served with potato and carrot, there’s some traditional music (using […] Read more…
Kodiak
Note: I was invited to dine at Kodiak, however all opinions are my own. A couple of months ago, we dined in at Kodiak in Kingston to try out the menu. We opt to sit outside as we have an active toddler with us. For drinks, I order a mocktail and leave it up to […] Read more…

Hidden away on Lonsdale Street at the Nibu building, Bento Tei is a tiny shop with one table inside, and about four tables outside in the courtyard area. I’ve always been meaning to try it […] Read more…
Sam Si Se Kki (Korean)
I’ve dined at Korean restaurant Sam Si Sek Kki in Mitchell a few times now so it’s about time I write a post about it. First of all, the entrance is wheel friendly with a ramp and automatic door that opens outwards. Upon entering, there’s a sign that asks us to wait to be seated. […] Read more…
Short Eats (Woden)
The popular Short Eats van opened a cafe in Woden a few months ago. I never got a chance to try the van (too far away from me) so I was excited to try the cafe. There’s much to choose from the menu. I pick the three house made curries with roti ($18). Two of […] Read more…
Devonshire Tea @ Kitchen Garden at Rodney’s
For $12, you can order a Devonshire Tea at Kitchen Garden at Rodney’s in Pialligo. A Devonshire Tea consists of scones with jam and cream, and a choice of tea/coffee. On a rainy weekend with a craving for hummingbird cake, I decided to go in to check it out. The cafe went through a refurbishment […] Read more…
SoupStone
Earlier in the year, my foodie friends and I celebrated Lunar New Year’s 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…
