A Canberra foodie's adventures
Following on from Eating in Granada, we caught a bus to Seville. 37 degree days, it was the hottest (literally) city of the all the places we’d visited in Spain. Siestas are a must in Seville to get out of the heat. But we both loved this gorgeous city. The Plaza de Espaรฑa especially! La […] Read more…

After Eating in Spain – Valencia and La Tomatina, we flew to Granada for a couple of nights. The point of our Granada stay was to see the Alhambra – a stunning palace and fortress complex (worth seeing for the beautiful Moorish carvings!). Bodegas Castaรฑeda Our hotel was only a few metres away from Bodegas […] Read more…
My friends and I caught up for lunch at Lamshedโs in Yarralumla late last year. Itโs a restaurant that Iโve heard good things about with a focus on fresh ingredients. The entrance is through a long corridor next to Farmerโs Daughter. Thereโs lots of natural light coming through in the spacious dining area during the […] Read more…
Following on from Eating in Spain – Barcelona – Part 3 – La Boqueria, we took the train south to Valencia for two nights to take part in the 2019 La Tomatina (annual tomato throwing/slinging fight).

I moved to Canberra in 2008, and to my horror discovered that there were NO bubble tea shops in the capital. Fast forward 11 years, there are now so many options that I can’t keep up. I want to note that Easy Way was the first bubble tea shop that I knew of to open […] Read more…
Following on from Eating in Spain – Barcelona – Part 2, this chapter focuses solely on La Boqueria or Mercat de la Boqueria. Barcelona’s busiest and biggest market. It was mid-afternoon when we arrived so it was packed full with a crowd. I found that it was difficult to stop and browse as there were […] Read more…
With all the new cafรฉ openings to keep up with, itโs nice to go back to an established cafรฉ. Two for Joy has been in Kingstonโs 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…
Note: We were invited as guests to dine in and try the 4-course tasting menu at Poachers Pantry. However, all opinions are my own. I hadn’t been back to Poachers Pantry out in Hall in years, so when I received an email inviting us to come try the Spring tasting menu, it was a definite […] Read more…
