A Canberra foodie's adventures
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. When I arrived, all the outdoor tables were full of people enjoying the warm Spring weather. The afternoon tea is $45 per person […] Read more…
Mr FPJ and I had a staycation at Hotel Realm and booked in to the Chairman & Yip across the road for dinner. We were shown to our table and menus and water provided. There is a choice of 2 banquets – 6 courses or 8 courses and we went for the latter at $88 […] Read more…
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…

The laksa, with chicken or tofu, ($15) has three types noodles included – egg noodles, flat thick rice flour noodles, and crunchy […] Read more…

Following on from the balsamic vinegar tour in Modena, my aunt took us to Trattoria da Nane della Giulia for dinner. She tells us the building the trattoria is in used to be a World War 2 hospital and there’s lots of history here. Of course the staff recognise her and they chat and catch […] Read more…
Biang biang noodles come from the Shaanxi province of China, and are wheat flour hand pulled noodles that are long and thick. I love noodles so there was much excitement when the signage and menus went up for Biang Biang at the Canberra Centre. Some social media stalking led me to the Biang Biang Sydney […] Read more…
