Following on from Eating in Dubrovnik (Croatia), we flew to Italy and my home town Padua. I was born in Italy and my family has been living in Padua for over 40 years. It was a nice reprieve from the constant moving and traveling to the next destination as we were in Padua for a […] Read more…
Following on from Eating in Hungary – Budapest, we flew to Dubrovnik in Croatia. This was a bit of an impulse addition to our European holiday. We’re both Game of Thrones fans, and it had several filming locations in Dubrovnik. Plus it’s along the Adriatic coast and I get to eat fresh seafood. Win win […] Read more…
We tried out Li’s Dumpling Inn at the Erindale shops (I remember another iteration of a dumpling place in that same spot several years ago). I absolutely love dumplings so Li’s Dumpling Inn went to the top of my list of eateries to visit. On a Saturday, we drove over to check it out. The […] Read more…
Following on from the stews, goulash and noodles from Eating in Budapest Part 1… Café Gerbeaud One of the most traditional coffee houses in Budapest, is Café Gerbeaud. The best word to describe the cafe is ‘grand’ with chandeliers, polished timber and a beautiful space. I had read that the dine-in price is expensive but […] Read more…
It’s a bit of a distance for me to get to La Baguette by R&M, the French bakery located the ANU School of Arts which is usually only open Monday-Friday.

China Tea Club in Lyneham is a fancier Chinese restaurant – plush carpet, linen tablecloth, and more sophisticated furniture than your regular cheap and cheerful Chinese spot. I have only dined at China Tea Club once, several years ago, and honestly don’t remember it. So when there was a 50% discount deal on the Fork […] Read more…
Following on from England, we flew to Budapest to continue our European adventure. We stayed in the Pest side of the city, but very close to the bridge taking us to Buda. I thought it was easier to break this post up by breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast Börze Börze is only a couple of […] Read more…
Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio Tour (London) We spent about 6 hours at the Warner Bros studio tour of the Harry Potter set outside of London and didn’t see everything in detail (full day recommended if you’re a Harry Potter fan!). Lunch was had on-site at the studio’s Backlot Cafe. There are a few eateries […] Read more…
This year, I tried hot cross buns from three bakeries – Danny’s Bakery (my favourite), Three Mills Bakery, and Sonoma. Danny’s Bakery Danny’s in Narrabundah has been around for years and since having my first taste back in 2014, this is my favourite hot cross bun in Canberra so far. These are the only sourdough […] Read more…
