If you’re up for a short drive away from the ACT, check out Little Sutton Bakery in Sutton NSW. I have no idea what it was like before, but they have obviously renovated and the place looks great. There are fresh breads baked daily, freshly baked hot pies (the pie menu is on the wall) […] Read more…
The Tiramisu List
I love tiramisu. So here’s a list of thoughts on Canberra’s tiramisu scene. I know there’s heaps more places to try, I’ll get to them eventually. Disclaimer: The standards of tiramisu may be different depending on the day and depending on who makes them. My opinions may change if I were to go back and […] Read more…
High tea @ The Marion
Note: I was invited to dine at The Marion, however all opinions are my own. Iโve dined at Walter Cafรฉ at the new establishment at Regatta Point, but had not been to or seen The Marion (next door) until this invitation arose. Thereโs a reception desk outside the main dining room, where a gentleman in […] Read more…
Ganjees
Besides attending the launch party when Ganjees moved from Bruce to Braddon, I hadn’t had an opportunity to try out the restaurant. I finally make it there for lunch on my day off, and choose to sit outside as it is a sunny day. There are mocktails, lassis and soft drinks listed under ‘Rickshaw Refreshers’. […] Read more…
Hachiko
My friend and I have heard good things about Hachiko in Belconnen, a Japanese fusion restaurant, so we made a lunch date to try it out. It’s a little difficult to find as the entrance is more towards the boardwalk and there isn’t any signage outside that day. In all honesty, it’s easier to choose […] Read more…
Alcove
Note: I was invited to dine at Alcove, however all opinions are my own. Have you heard about Alcove? Itโs a cosy little bar in Braddon and it has introduced a new concept of 5 canapรฉs matched with cocktails. I am invited to experience Alcoveโs new season menu and take a friend along. Thereโs no […] Read more…
Lunch @ Tiger Lane Test Kitchen
In case you hadn’t heard, the Tiger Lane dining precinct will bring 12 new hawker-style dining and bar outlets to Canberra Centre (expected by the end of the year). The Tiger Lane test kitchen opened a few weeks ago offering an $85 dinner set menu which I haven’t had the chance to try. But when […] Read more…
Short Eats (Woden)
The popular Short Eats van opened a cafe in Woden a few months ago. I never got a chance to try the van (too far away from me) so I was excited to try the cafe. There’s much to choose from the menu. I pick the three house made curries with roti ($18). Two of […] Read more…
No. 9 Palace – Dickson
A few months ago, my friend and I had lunch at No. 9 Palace in Dickson. Previously Chic Gourmet, the same owners have rebranded it into No. 9 Palace to provide a more upmarket offering to the Dickson community. We start with some iced milk tea, mainly because it comes with these super cute teddy […] Read more…
Moon Cake
Itโs nearly mid-autumn (Northern hemisphere time) / moon cake festival time. (For info, here’s a previous post about what a moon cake is and a little bit more about the festival). Are you searching to buy some moon cakes too? Every year, I always get in too late and thereโs nothing left. Unlike my parents, […] Read more…
