A Canberra foodie's adventures
The newest eatery to open at the Kingston shops, is Onzieme, headed by Louis Couttoupes who had a pop-up a few doors down. I dined there with a friend for dinner and the earliest that they could fit us in was a Wednesday evening. Weekends were solidly booked out for the next few weeks. It’s […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to try out the new bingsu range, however all opinions are my own. Super Emoji is known for its bubble teas and iced drinks, mini cake boxes, souffle and various filled choux pastries. There’s a lot more on offer at the City Walk megastore. Late last year, Super Emoji introduced its […] Read more…

These are almost 1kg loaded brownie slabs with various toppings to choose from – mars bar, triple choc, peanut butter, biscoff, choc mint, smores and more. I chose the Mars bar brownie […] Read more…

Note: I was given a Sakuraco box in exchange for a review on this blog. All opinions are my own. Up until a few months ago, I did not know you could get subscription boxes filled with all sorts of treats from around the world. I only found out about these when they started popping […] Read more…
Lockdown in Canberra has seen many local eateries pivot towards offering dine at home packages where all you have to do is finish off the cooking process and assemble your food at home. Otis is one eatery offering a different set menu each week. I was booked in for a truffle dinner at Otis but […] Read more…
Two years ago, we were in Munich for Oktoberfest. (I know that this is two years late, but there were 7 other countries to write about before this and I had a baby). Germany was the last stop on our European holiday after a week in Italy. We flew into Munich to experience the real […] Read more…
With a further 4 weeks of lockdown announced in Canberra, I thought I’d throw together a quick list of some lockdown discoveries. I hope everyone is doing okay! Donut Girls I had been following Donut Girls on Instagram for a couple of weeks, when my friend Tales of a Confectionist sent me a surprise delivery […] Read more…
Note: I was invited to dine in at Zhangliang Malatang, however all opinions are my own. I always walked past Zhangliang Malatang in Acton but never had a chance to dine in, so I was eager to try it out when I received an invite from them. We’re lucky we got there early-ish, around 12 […] Read more…
