A Canberra foodie's adventures
There are so many places I want to check out in the Perth food scene. Offering modern French cuisine, I picked Bistro Guillaume at the Crown Casino for dinner with a friend after looking at the menu and seeing a few pictures of the restaurant and, of course, the food. The original restaurant opened up […] Read more…
I’d heard Tuck Shop Cafe was a popular brunch spot in Northbridge but had limited seating (fits 25 people inside apparently) and was always packed out on weekends. Luckily I’m on holidays so I was able to go in on a weekday. It is rather small and cosy inside. All the tables have wheels at […] Read more…
I caught up with some friends at Lalla Rookh Bar and Eating House on St Georges Terrace in Perth City. The freshly made pastas sounded appealing, as well as some other items on the menu, so I was happy to try it out. It’s located underground, and there are stairs leading down from the street […] Read more…
I’m in Perth for two weeks and took the family out for brunch at Typika Artisan Roasters in Claremont. The first thing my sister and I noticed on the menu was the ‘deconstructed hot chocolate’. I asked our waiter what this was and he mentioned it’s a glass of warm milk, with a small glass […] Read more…
During my weekend in Sydney, I was strolling through Potts Point in the morning when I noticed a rather busy cafe on Challis Street with outdoor diners enjoying the sunshine. La Buvette is also rated quite highly on Urbanspoon so I decided to pop in for breakfast the following morning. We scored a table outside […] Read more…
I was in Sydney over the long weekend for the International Fleet Review. A few of us stayed in Potts Point which has quite a few funky cafes and restaurants. We asked reception for an idea of some good restaurants within walking distance to our hotel. Cafe Sopra at Fratelli Fresh (just above Woolworths) was […] Read more…
I’d been wanting to try out Adriano Zumbo’s patisserie for nearly 2 years, but since no one else I know likes desserts and sweets, there was never an opportunity to go. I was determined to try out the dessert train and patisserie at the Star during my trip to Sydney over the long weekend. My […] Read more…
Warning: this post is photo heavy. When my friends and I arrived at the Grounds of Alexandria at 10.30am on a Sunday morning, it was jam packed with people. We were told that the wait for a table would be over an hour. After hearing and reading good reviews of this place, we were willing […] Read more…
I don’t get to go to Sydney often (even though its less than a 3hr drive from Canberra), but when I do, I make sure I try out a different restaurant/cafe. This time, I decided to head to Ippudo for some ramen. Some friends had mentioned this was one of the best places to eat […] Read more…
I was heading to Sydney for the day with a friend to see the show Wicked. I did a bit of research on restaurants and read about Din Tai Fung– advertised as serving the world’s tastiest dumplings. Din Tai Fung originated in Tai Pei and now has a chain of restaurants all over the world. […] Read more…
