Gill’s Patisserie is tucked away in Fyshwick, distributing its goodies made on site to other cafes around Canberra. But you can also sit down in their cafe if you want a bite to eat. On my first visit during lockdown, I wanted to try the kimchi twisters that I’ve seen advertised on Gill’s social media. […] Read more…
Some months ago, Mr FPJ and I had a lovely dinner banquet at Chairman & Yip. The dinner included sushi from a new sushi chef which we thought was a little odd given we were in a Chinese restaurant. Our waiter informed us that the Chairman Group were opening up a new Japanese restaurant in […] Read more…

There’s a two-page lunch specials menu available Monday to Friday with dishes starting at the $10.50 mark for various noodles, rice dishes, nasi goreng and more. The specials used to be available on weekends […] Read more…

I remember their first Friday night of trade, multiple friends tried to get in […] Read more…

When I arrived, all the outdoor tables were full of people enjoying the warm Spring weather. The afternoon tea is $45 per person […] Read more…
Biang biang noodles come from the Shaanxi province of China, and are wheat flour hand pulled noodles that are long and thick. I love noodles so there was much excitement when the signage and menus went up for Biang Biang at the Canberra Centre. Some social media stalking led me to the Biang Biang Sydney […] Read more…
It was exciting news when the Boat House decided to open its doors for lunch services from Friday to Sunday. A prix fixe lunch menu is offered and diners can choose from either 2 or 3 course options. The best part – not everyone at the table has to have the same number of courses. […] Read more…
