Three Mills Bakery has its range of breads and pastries in some supermarkets (Ainslie IGA), cafes across Canberra, and at the farmers market. Covidlife has meant a shift in the business operating models of all in the hospitality industry. One change that I’m really pleased about, and hope stays after this is all over, is […] Read more…
Chinese food @ China Tea Club
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…
Eating in Hungary – Budapest – Part 1
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.

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!).

Hot Cross Buns
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…

All opinions are my own. https://www.viator.com/en-AU offers a range of bookable tours and activities in cities around the world. I was invited to try out a tour in Canberra, but seeing as I’m very much a food-based blogger, there aren’t many […] Read more…

The Schnitzelmeister @ The Bavarian
Note: I was invited to try out The Schnitzelmeister at The Bavarian Woden, however all opinions are my own. Are you a schnitzel-lover? The Bavarian has introduced The Schnitzelmeister Challenge ($80). It’s a 6-stack of chicken schnitzels topped with ham, cheese and napoli sauce, plus you get 4 sides of your choice. If a single […] Read more…
Eating in England – Part 2 – The Fat Duck
Before we had even booked our flights to the UK, but knowing that we would be going, I quickly jumped online to book a table at Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck, three months in advance. Because priorities! We had to prepay for the full meal with the booking which cost 325ยฃ per person. A hefty […] Read more…
Chinese food @ Tang Dynasty (Kingston Foreshore)
I’d only been to Tang Dynasty on the Kingston Foreshore once when it first opened a few years ago. After seeing a 50% discount on The Fork app, I booked in (a couple of times) with some friends. Peking duck pancakes ($12.50 for a serve of two) come filled with large meaty slices of duck, […] Read more…
