I wrote about Canberra’s Top 10 Dessert Destinations back in 2015 (wow time flies) and I thought it was about time for an update. There are so many new places, so here’s another 16 desserts to try! In no particular order… The Bite pretzels I first came across The Bite on Instagram where you could […] Read more…
The old Kingston shops have been revitalised with the brand new massive Supabarn and new cafes at the Eyre Street Market. One of the cafes that opened a few months ago and I got excited about is the Japanese-inspired cafe Tokyo Canteen. On opening day, I walked in for an early breakfast. I missed out […] Read more…
My friends first informed me of the now hugely popular Ramen O in Belconnen. The catch is that Ramen O is only open Monday to Friday for lunch and dinner, and only for a couple of hours before it sells out. I remember their first Friday night of trade, multiple friends tried to get in […] Read more…

Poachers Pantry smoked duck breast The smoked duck breast with foie gras, spiced pear puree, French plum and buttered spinach as part of the Spring tasting menu. We could smell the […] Read more…
I moved to Canberra in 2008, and to my horror discovered that there were NO bubble tea shops in the capital. Fast forward 11 years, there are now so many options that I can’t keep up. I want to note that Easy Way was the first bubble tea shop that I knew of to open […] Read more…
Note: We were invited as guests to dine in and try the 4-course tasting menu at Poachers Pantry. However, all opinions are my own. I hadn’t been back to Poachers Pantry out in Hall in years, so when I received an email inviting us to come try the Spring tasting menu, it was a definite […] Read more…
