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…

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.

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.

It’s truffle season! I haven’t been on a truffle hunt in years, so when my friend Brontosaurus Bites invited me on a truffle hunt followed by a 6-course truffle brunch (as a guest) at The Truffle Farm, I jumped at the chance. As I drive in to The Truffle Farm for a 9.30am start, Iโm […] Read more…
If you hadn’t heard, Cajun-style seafood in a bag is available at the Kickin Inn in Woden. We went to visit (some months ago) for a weekday lunch. Kickin Inn is spacious with several small booths and tables, as well as being able to fit the larger groups. We are seated at a small table […] Read more…
Earlier in the year, my foodie friends and I celebrated Lunar New Yearโs Eve at SoupStone. Located at the Australian National University near the bus station, it can be easy to walk past and miss it. When we arrive, the table is set up and ready with two high chairs, plastic cutlery, plates and cups […] Read more…
There was much excitement when Eightysix announced a south-side restaurant. From what Iโve read, Eightysix South has more of an Italian cuisine focus, which suits me just fine. I had lunch on opening day with my friend (Tales of a Confectionist) a few months ago. The fit out looks pretty much the same as the […] Read more…
Since its shipping container days, the return of Miss Van’s has been highly anticipated. Now set up in Civic, the restaurant is difficult to get in to without a booking. I thought it was a good opportunity to book lunch here for my birthday earlier in the year. I like that the online booking form […] Read more…

The counter at the front has […] Read more…
