A Canberra foodie's adventures
My partner and I headed to Public in Manuka for dinner on Saturday night. With no reservation, we easily got a table outside under the heaters. Let’s go straight to my favourite part of any meal – DESSERT! A friend recommended I try out the peanut butter baklava ($12) for dessert, mentioning that it was […] Read more…
Morks has opened its doors at the Kingston Foreshore. Luckily it looks like a much bigger space than their previous Florey spot. Located next door to C Dine Bar, there is outdoor dining available too. There are four items on their weekend brunch menu such as congee, and poached eggs with a Thai twist. Brunch […] Read more…
After dining at A. Baker for dinner earlier this week, I was keen to try out brunch on the weekend with some friends. All the outdoor tables in the warm sunshine were taken, so we settled at a table in a little corner. This proved to be a blind spot as no one noticed us for the 20 […] Read more…

Walking into work early this morning, I was greeted by a friendly man standing on the street who informed me that a new cafe/coffee shop just a few doors down had opened up, offering free coffees to everyone today. Who can pass up free coffee?! The cafe is called Quizine, located on Botany Street in […] Read more…
It’s moon cake season! What is a moon cake you ask? They are small usually round sweet cakes traditionally filled with either lotus seed paste, red bean paste, mung bean paste, and/or an egg yolk. Moon cakes are only eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival – a huge celebration in China (made a public holiday), Hong […] Read more…
A friend and I headed to Koochi Afghan Cafe in Gungahlin on a Sunday to try out their Afghani Bedouin breakfast (a Livingsocial deal I’d purchased). I had to wiki ‘Bedouin’ which translates in Arabic to mean nomad or wanderer. Not really knowing what Afghani food was like, I was very curious in trying this […] Read more…
