A Canberra foodie's adventures
Don’t you just love it when you find a gem of a restaurant while on holidays? I visited the Gold Coast for a few days where a bunch of us stayed in Surfers Paradise to attend a friend’s wedding. Being busy with work and other commitments, I hardly had time to do any research about […] Read more…
One of my friends was having her hens night in Sydney. I never get to go to Sydney often, so I couldn’t wait to plot my foodie weekend. First stop after checking into the hotel was one of my favourites – Din Tai Fung at World Square. I hadn’t been back there for about a […] Read more…
I was excited to head to the Taste of Sydney Festival held at Centennial Park over the weekend of 13-16 March 2014. Dubbed ‘the world’s greatest restaurant festival’, Taste of Sydney showcases 15 of Sydney’s hottest and latest restaurants that provide 4 tasting dishes each. There are also over 100 artisan producers (wine, cheese, beer, […] Read more…
I usually head to Din Tai Fung whenever I’m in Sydney for their dumplings, particularly the xiao long bao, but a friend mentioned she goes to another dumpling place that’s cheaper and better. I’m always up for trying new (and cheaper) places so I was happy to go along. We headed to World Square’s Taste […] Read more…
During a weekend stay in Sydney, I got to visit Kylie Kwong’s Surry Hills restaurant Billy Kwong with some friends. The restaurant takes 6pm or 8pm bookings, and those in the 6pm slot need to be out by 8pm. The restaurant rang us earlier in the day to confirm our booking and were advised that […] Read more…
A friend and I had brunch at The Old Crow in Northbridge, just a few doors down from Tuck Shop Cafe. We went in around 10am on a Sunday morning and not really knowing how the place worked, we waited around for service but didn’t get any, so we wandered inside. A waitress mentioned there […] Read more…
One of my fabulous friends in Perth took me out to Nobu for my birthday. Nobu, a Japanese fine-dining restaurant at the Perth Crown Casino, has been on my wishlist to try out for a couple of years. A few Perth foodie friends also rave about it so I was excited to try it out. […] Read more…
A Perth foodie recommended I try out Bread in Common in Fremantle. So I headed there with a friend for lunch one weekday morning. Housed in an old brick warehouse, I thought the place had lots of character. It’s quite large and spacious inside with a bunch of long wooden communal benches for diners to […] Read more…
My family hadn’t tried Jamie’s Italian Perth yet as they found it too hard to get in or make a booking. I completely understand as I’ve never been able to make a booking at Jamie’s Italian Canberra and just walk in instead. I found it very easy to make a booking at the Perth restaurant […] Read more…
When I was in Perth last year, I’d heard some buzz around the new restaurants and bars in Print Hall which opened up at the end of 2012. Print Hall holds four levels of dining and bar options and is located inside a heritage-listed newspaper house on St George’s Terrace in the city. I never […] Read more…
