A few friends and I stopped in at Common Grounds Cafe in Gowrie for brunch one Saturday morning. I’d never heard of this cafe until reading a Canberra Weekly article about the place. Located at the Gowrie shops in Tuggeranong, the cafe is easy to find. Just follow the signs to the shops. At 10am, […] Read more…
Top Taste Chinese Restaurant in Woden replaced Noble Palace some time last year. I don’t even know what happened to Noble Palace or why it shut down. Lots of new red signage was displayed outside for the new Top Taste. A work colleague and I headed there to try out some yumcha for lunch. After […] Read more…
I used to grab take-away lunch in Woden from a cafe called Pure Oxygen. They made some fantastic toasted sandwiches. To my dismay, they closed down the Woden shop to move to Deakin under new management and a new name – Doubleshot. That was late last year. I finally made it there over the Anzac […] Read more…
I was in the Braddon area on a Sunday and decided to stop by Autolyse to get a late take away lunch. At 2.30 in the afternoon, the place was packed with every single outdoor table taken and a few people sitting inside. There was also a long queue to order. The last time I […] Read more…
Some friends and I wanted to try out Chatterbox in Belconnen and made it there one Saturday morning. There are bright yellow banners displayed outside so you can’t miss it. When I got there, all outdoor tables were taken. Must be a popular spot with the locals. I love the wall of potted plants inside […] Read more…
I’ve been keeping an eye out on Local Press Cafe at the Kingston Foreshore ever since I spotted its sign back in January. The sign immediately conveyed a natural and raw vibe. It finally opened its doors last weekend but I didn’t get a chance to try it out until today. Excited that something was […] Read more…
After raving about my first time breakfasting at Gozleme Cafe to work mates a couple of weeks ago, we organised to have lunch there one weekday. A selection of gozleme and borek were ordered to share between the four of us. Forks and knives were provided by the wait staff, however no plates were given, […] Read more…
I noticed the new Grill and Sizzle Fusion restaurant in Dickson a few months ago. There used to be a sign advertising it was Asian/Japanese fine-dining but noticed this was taken down. On a Sunday afternoon, I headed in for lunch with a friend to check it out. We were greeted by our waitress and, […] Read more…
A few years ago, one of my work colleagues told me she had found the best sourdough hot cross buns in Canberra at Danny’s Bakery in Narrabundah. I always remembered this, Easter after Easter, but never managed to get down there to try some. She reminded me about it again last week so I made […] Read more…
A friend organised dinner at Camellia Restaurant, a Sri Lankan restaurant in Manuka. I’ve heard and read good things about this place and was eager to try it out on a Friday night. The menu is relatively short with one page of entrees, one page of mains and a third of a page of dessert. […] Read more…
