A Canberra foodie's adventures
We were seeing the Harry Potter and The Cursed Child play at the Princess Theatre in Melbourne, and wanted to dine somewhere close by for dinner. Thankfully Chinatown is close to that theatre and I saw it as an opportunity to check out some cheap dumplings. I’ve been to Din Tai Fung and Hu Tong, […] Read more…
Whenever we travel overseas, I like to try at least one fine dining experience. The San Pellegrino World’s 50 Best Restaurants lists Odette in Singapore as the 28th Best Restaurant in the world (for 2018). I booked us into lunch at Odette during our stay. (Tip: Lunch is usually cheaper than dinner for the same […] Read more…
I’m a sucker for baked eggs. When I know an eatery makes great baked eggs, it’s difficult to order anything else. Hardware Societe is another eatery that I try to visit every time I’m in Melbourne. Mainly because of its ridiculously awesome baked eggs. Considering it’s a French-influenced eatery, it’s no wonder I like it. […] Read more…
After my first visit to Cinnabar on the Kingston Foreshore back in 2016, it took me 2.5 years to go back (purely because there are always too many new eateries to visit). But I dined in twice within a fortnight and plan to go back more often. There are three types of sang choi bao […] Read more…
During trips to Melbourne, I always try to stay an extra couple of days so I can eat at more places. The annoying thing about dining solo is that I can only try 1-2 small dishes before I get full. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Supernormal offer half-serves of most of their menu […] Read more…
Tipo 00 is one of the restaurants I will always visit whenever I’m in Melbourne. Located on Little Bourke Street smack bang in the CBD, and a short stroll away from Melbourne Central / Emporium, it’s really easy to get to. Tipo 00 is a type of flour used in making pasta, and the restaurant […] Read more…
Following on from Eating in Singapore – Part 1, we also had to make a couple of visits to a hawker centre. We were close to the Maxwell Road Hawker Centre and wandered in for lunch at around 1pm. This is one of Singapore’s best hawker centres with a food court style setting with roughly […] Read more…
During a mid-week solo visit to Sydney, mainly for eating purposes, I booked myself in to Momofuku Seiobo at The Star for a tasting menu dinner. The $245 dinner consisted of 13 courses and I also went ahead with the matching non-alcoholic drinks for an additional $60. The reservation was for 6pm on the dot, […] Read more…
After our visit to Bangkok, we landed in Singapore in the early evening, and after checking into our hotel room in Tanjong Pagar, it was time to find a late night dinner. Fortunately, one of the first places we passed was Ramen Keisuke Tonkotsu King. It was about 8.30pm at this stage and there was […] Read more…
Last month, my family and I had a dinner at Bistro Guillaume at the Crown Casino Perth. I think it’s my third time dining there, and I’m never disappointed. We had an early evening reservation and sat with a view overlooking the Crown’s pool. Our waiter for the night asked whether we wanted tap or […] Read more…
