On a rare weekday day off, I made my way to Mayfair Espresso in the city for lunch. At 12:15pm, it was surprisingly calm — just myself and one other diner — a nice change of pace from the usual rush. The menu immediately caught my attention with its Asian-fusion twist. Dishes like Tom Yum […] Read more…

There is an alcohol-free section of the drinks menu with house made kombucha, Lyre’s, Heaps Normal, Strange Love, and Non. I’ve noticed that this is happening more […] Read more…

Happy to say it does not disappoint. I’m glad to see more and more places having a dedicated non-alcoholic […] Read more…

I’ve had some really yummy desserts lately, so here’s a list of 10 new desserts to try. Du Sel Du Sel Bakery in Narrabundah creates a range of ‘Unreal’ desserts with cakes that look like fruit. The lemon is my favourite with grapefruit, mint and fresh cream inside – oh so refreshing. Rasa Rosa banana […] Read more…
Some friends and I tried high tea at Queen’s Terrace Café located inside Parliament House. After going through security, I head straight to the Information Desk as I have no idea where the café is located. She directs me up the marble staircase and to the left. I must admit that I have a sense […] Read more…
If you’re up for a short drive away from the ACT, check out Little Sutton Bakery in Sutton NSW. I have no idea what it was like before, but they have obviously renovated and the place looks great. There are fresh breads baked daily, freshly baked hot pies (the pie menu is on the wall) […] Read more…
