A Canberra foodie's adventures
A Perth foodie recommended I try out Bread in Common in Fremantle. So I headed there with a friend for lunch one weekday morning. Housed in an old brick warehouse, I thought the place had lots of character. It’s quite large and spacious inside with a bunch of long wooden communal benches for diners to […] Read more…
My family hadn’t tried Jamie’s Italian Perth yet as they found it too hard to get in or make a booking. I completely understand as I’ve never been able to make a booking at Jamie’s Italian Canberra and just walk in instead. I found it very easy to make a booking at the Perth restaurant […] Read more…
When I was in Perth last year, I’d heard some buzz around the new restaurants and bars in Print Hall which opened up at the end of 2012. Print Hall holds four levels of dining and bar options and is located inside a heritage-listed newspaper house on St George’s Terrace in the city. I never […] Read more…
There are so many places I want to check out in the Perth food scene. Offering modern French cuisine, I picked Bistro Guillaume at the Crown Casino for dinner with a friend after looking at the menu and seeing a few pictures of the restaurant and, of course, the food. The original restaurant opened up […] Read more…
I’d heard Tuck Shop Cafe was a popular brunch spot in Northbridge but had limited seating (fits 25 people inside apparently) and was always packed out on weekends. Luckily I’m on holidays so I was able to go in on a weekday. It is rather small and cosy inside. All the tables have wheels at […] Read more…
I caught up with some friends at Lalla Rookh Bar and Eating House on St Georges Terrace in Perth City. The freshly made pastas sounded appealing, as well as some other items on the menu, so I was happy to try it out. It’s located underground, and there are stairs leading down from the street […] Read more…
I’m in Perth for two weeks and took the family out for brunch at Typika Artisan Roasters in Claremont. The first thing my sister and I noticed on the menu was the ‘deconstructed hot chocolate’. I asked our waiter what this was and he mentioned it’s a glass of warm milk, with a small glass […] Read more…
My friends and I were keen to try Canberra’s #1 restaurant, Aubergine, rated by the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide. The restaurant’s simple website only provides address details and a sample menu. On the night, we were greeted warmly by a waiter and shown to our seats. I was immediately asked if I wanted […] Read more…
During the Christmas shutdown period, I decided it was time to shop around for a new mattress. Halfway through browsing the many mattress shops in Fyshwick, I drove past Elaine’s Gourmet Pies (located at the bend of Wollongong Street) which was the only food shop open during that period. The sign claims these are award […] Read more…
Pistachio Dining has been on my list of places to try for about 5 years now. Located in Torrens, it’s not really on the way to anything so I’ve never had a chance to stop by. I finally organised a dinner there one weeknight with friends. Pistachio nuts are provided on the table for diners […] Read more…
