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…
Located on London Circuit, in the middle courtyard area opposite Two Before Ten, is new Sichuan restaurant Bashan. We stopped in for a quick lunch on what was one of the windiest days. There are limited cramped tables inside (and absolutely no room to fit a pram) so we had no choice but to sit […] Read more…
Following on from Eating in Italy Part 9, we had lunch at Trattoria dalla Mora, specialising in traditional food from the Veneto region. There are several outdoor tables but these are all full on such a lovely day, so we’re seated indoors. A bread basket filled with an assortment of breads and crackers is set […] 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…
Late last year, two friends and I booked into an afternoon high tea at Kynefin in Hall. This was my first time at Kynefin located on the corner of the main street.

For dinner, my aunt drove us to dine at Trattoria Dai Tosi. She tells me that the restaurant is a local favourite and happens to be set in an old hospital building that was around during the second world war. A booking had been made in advance as the place gets packed out. There are […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine at Monster Kitchen & Bar at no cost to try the new vegetarian menu, however all opinions are my own. Monster Kitchen & Bar recently announced it was going vegetarian. Complete vegetarian for 365 days. It’s a big move. Monster are planning to grow their own produce, do its […] Read more…
On a weekend getaway to Bowral, we stopped by the Bendooley Estate winery in Berrima NSW to have lunch inside the Berkelouw Book Barn. It’s been on my want-to-visit list for some time, so I made sure to reserve a table in advance. Berkelouw Book Barn is busy and almost full when we get there […] Read more…
Following on from my Eating in Italy (Padua), my aunt took us to Gianni Calaon’s restaurant Rivoluzione Pizza, who has won 4 World Championships for his pizza. All trophies are proudly displayed in the restaurant. Some appetisers were brought out – small pieces of soft bread topped with a savoury chive mousse. We tried the […] Read more…
