A Canberra foodie's adventures
Pulp Kitchen are offering a 5-course French degustation for $90 each Tuesday night this month as part of Good Food Month. Each course is based on a different region in France. First out was the amuse bouche of escargots, parsley and garlic cream in a puff pastry. This was warm and yummy – the snails […] Read more…
A friend and I headed to Jimmy’s Saigon Vietnamese Restaurant in the city on Friday night. It replaces Oishi inside the Garema Centre. I had the stir fried beef vermicelli with mixed salad and fish sauce ($14). The beef was delicious and cooked in a yummy slighty spicy sauce. Kind of like Thai beef salad […] Read more…
As part of Canberra’s first Good Food Month, Eightysix are putting on a special lunch each Sunday of October for $55 per person. The Good Food Month website states, ‘Prepare to share some bright spring options including some bubbles to set the mood.’ There wasn’t any other information available such as how many courses or […] Read more…
38 Espresso advertises itself as the Kingston Foreshore’s only espresso bar and its first day of trading was today. I rocked up this morning to see all their outdoor tables full of early morning risers. Because it is an espresso bar, it only offers coffee and a few pastries – croissants, muffins and danishes (today […] Read more…
Croissant D’or finally opened today at Westfield Woden. I’ve been walking past anticipating its opening for the last few weeks as it was meant to open in September. I love the feature wall they have of Paris and the Eiffel Tower. It’s quite a small space and only fits a few tables and chairs. There […] Read more…
On a day off, I decided to head out to Hume to try out Bread Nerds for lunch. Having seen it at the Kingston Bus Depot markets (also trading as That Bagel Place) and reading some good reviews about it, I thought it was time to give it a go. Bread Nerds is located in […] Read more…
I finally got to try out one of Mork’s signature dishes on Saturday night. The Angel Prawns. I’d seen these back in their Florey location but they weren’t part of the tasting menu I was trying out, so I was eager to go back for them. At $24 for this entree of 6 prawns, it […] Read more…
I went to see Wil Anderson’s stand-up show at the Canberra Theatre one weeknight, and headed to Mr Wei’s for a pre-show dinner with some friends. As mentioned in a previous post, Mr Wei’s is headed by chef David Wei, formerly of Wild Duck in Kingston. As it is in such close proximity to the […] Read more…
I caught up with a friend for dinner at Delhi 6 in Acton one weeknight. I’ve walked past this place on numerous occasions so I was keen on trying it out. I ordered the deluxe non vegetarian thali ($23.90) because it provides a little bit of everything. What the menu doesn’t indicate is that you […] Read more…
During my weekend in Sydney, I was strolling through Potts Point in the morning when I noticed a rather busy cafe on Challis Street with outdoor diners enjoying the sunshine. La Buvette is also rated quite highly on Urbanspoon so I decided to pop in for breakfast the following morning. We scored a table outside […] Read more…
