Located upstairs at the Hellenic Club in Woden, Ginseng offers yum cha every Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The place is buzzing and busy by 11.30am (when yum cha commences) and I double check my watch to see how late I am. How are there so many people already eating? We are seated in the partitioned […] Read more…
After my first visit to Cinnabar on the Kingston Foreshore back in 2016, it took me 2.5 years to go back (purely because there are always too many new eateries to visit). But I dined in twice within a fortnight and plan to go back more often. There are three types of sang choi bao […] Read more…
Following on from Eating in Taipei – Part 1, we wanted to explore the several night food markets dotted around the city. We couldn’t possibly visit all of them during our stay. The closest night market to our hotel were the Ningxia Night Markets so we wandered over to find dinner. The Ningxia Night Markets […] Read more…
Another eatery to join the Mayfair/No Name Lane precinct in Acton/Canberra City, is Wild Panda specialising in Sichuan/Chongqing noodles. When we dined in, there were only three laminated A3 menus at the counter. The menu listed some appetisers, noodle soups, noodles without soup, and handmade dumplings. We started off with the house dumplings in chicken […] Read more…

Momoda, a Chinese slang term for ‘kiss-kiss’, quietly opened up in the Melbourne Building in Civic a couple of months ago. A more laid-back sister restaurant of the upmarket Wild Duck in […] Read more…
Sanya Bar is situated on Lonsdale Street in Braddon sandwiched between Binnyโs Kathitto and Tipsy Bull. Youโll notice the bright red Chinese lanterns strung up outside.

A few weeks ago, J and I had a celebratory dinner at Wild Duck in Kingston. I had never eaten at Wild Duck before so this was a good opportunity to try it out. It was a Friday night and we walked in without a reservation. The restaurant offers modern Asian cuisine in a fine […] Read more…
*I was invited to dine at Natural Nine courtesy of the restaraunt, however all opinions are my own. Not long after a dinner degustation at Natural Nine, Casino Canberraโs renovated fine-dining restaurant, I heard news of its rebranding into a modern Asian eatery. I must admit the fine-dining theme didnโt do enough for me to […] Read more…
I am always reading about Tales of a Confectionist’s food trips to Jimmy’s Place in Dickson for mud crab. We finally got together with fellow foodies and our other halves for dinner on a Monday night. There were two styles served with the mud crab – an XO sauce on vermicelli noodles, or ginger and […] Read more…
