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…
I’d only been to Tang Dynasty on the Kingston Foreshore once when it first opened a few years ago. After seeing a 50% discount on The Fork app, I booked in (a couple of times) with some friends. Peking duck pancakes ($12.50 for a serve of two) come filled with large meaty slices of duck, […] Read more…
There’s a new pop up restaurant in town. Located at Kingston’s Green Square (corner of Eyre and Jardine Streets), Kiosk is headed up by ex-Bar Rochford’s chef Louis Couttoupes. The menu is written up with chalk on two blackboards – one outside and one inside. I’m solo for the evening, and get my pick of […] Read more…
My friends and I caught up for lunch at Lamshed’s in Yarralumla late last year. It’s a restaurant that I’ve heard good things about with a focus on fresh ingredients. The entrance is through a long corridor next to Farmer’s Daughter. There’s lots of natural light coming through in the spacious dining area during the […] Read more…
With all the new café openings to keep up with, it’s nice to go back to an established café. Two for Joy has been in Kingston’s Green Square for years, and is still going strong. I recently rediscovered it when trying to find a place for weekend breakfast within walking distance. The weekly changing breakfast […] Read more…
Have you heard of the Sunday Supper Club? It is held once a month at the Winning Appliances showroom in Kingston. Hosted by HerCanberra’s Amanda Whitley, a different eatery cooks up a multi-course supper for roughly 24 guests. I got to go on the night that Eightysix was cooking with fellow foodie friends. I step […] Read more…
I booked four of us into Beef & Barley’s Burger High Tea a few weeks ago. There was a half-price deal available on Cudo (it might still be available) so I figured it was the perfect time to try it out. The burger high tea comes with one beer/wine/soft drink/milkshake per person. Two x three-tiered […] 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…
On a day off, I love to sit amongst the bustle of Silo Bakery. Either inside watching the endless stream of loyal customers stare at the cabinet full of baked goodies and clutch at their white paper bags filled with their purchases (you can’t stop at one), or outside at one of the three tables […] Read more…
Some friends and I headed to Knuckles restaurant in the Harmonie German Club for some German food for dinner. There was a bit of a wait at the door to sign people in / sign up for membership, but we had luckily booked a table so there were no problems there. Orders are paid for […] Read more…
