A Canberra foodie's adventures
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Originating from the town of Otaru in Hokkaido, Japan, LeTao cheesecakes started delivering to Canberra. Earlier in the year, I ordered LeTao’s seasonal special strawberry cheesecake and it is amazing! One of the lightest cheesecakes Iโve ever tasted. The strawberry is fresh and tastes like a strawberry smoothie mixed with Aussie cream cheese and topped […] Read more…
Note: I was invited as a guest to Yori, however all opinions are my own. Yori Fusion Bento serves a fusion of Japanese and Westernised dishes. Started by two Korean brothers from different mothers, Jayden and Derek are raising the bar of the traditional Japanese bento by combining modern Asian and Australian flavours. There are […] Read more…
For $12, you can order a Devonshire Tea at Kitchen Garden at Rodney’s in Pialligo. A Devonshire Tea consists of scones with jam and cream, and a choice of tea/coffee. On a rainy weekend with a craving for hummingbird cake, I decided to go in to check it out. The cafe went through a refurbishment […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to The Alice Cocktail Experience as a guest, however all opinions are my own. I recently went to Wonderland for ๐ฃ๐ฑ๐ฎ ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฌ๐ฎ: ๐ช๐ท ๐ฒ๐ถ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ ๐ฌ๐ธ๐ฌ๐ด๐ฝ๐ช๐ฒ๐ต/๐ถ๐ธ๐ฌ๐ด๐ฝ๐ช๐ฒ๐ต ๐ฎ๐๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ท๐ฌ๐ฎ.
