With a full-time job on top of this blog, I never have the time to write about everything. But I thought I’d bring to your attention some delicious meals I’ve had recently. In no particular order… 1.

The New Acton precinct around No Name Lane has sprouted several new eateries. One of which is Terra, focusing on seasonal fresh produce and a rotisserie cooking all sorts of proteins. The lunch menu is limited to about 5 dishes with a few sides. However, it’s the canteen style setting that’s the more popular option. […] Read more…
On a weekday, I went into Raku at the Canberra Centre to celebrate a friendโs birthday for lunch. The dรฉcor is a sleek and modern version of a Japanese restaurant with dim lighting inside to provide a sense of intimacy. There were 5 of us that ordered the $40 express set lunch while the other […] Read more…

However, it was my first time ordering their famous French toast which changes according to the season. The summer version incorporated fresh mango, mango sorbet, lime curd and milk crumb ($18). Oh my goodness โ it […] Read more…
* I was invited as a guest of Daana, however all opinions are my own. If you remember the shipping container village Westside in Acton, you might have come across Daana specialising in South Indian cuisine. As Westside is no more, the team at Daana, Sunita and Sanjay, moved their business to Curtin to start […] Read more…
The Farmhouse Restaurant at Pialligo Estate was recently renovated, (they knocked down a whole wall), to make the space inside a bit more spacious. It reopened for business and we booked in for a winter’s lunch with family. The new winter menu had just been introduced and I was really looking forward to it. To […] Read more…
