A Canberra foodie's adventures
I hear the Beach Burrito Company – a Mexican restaurant is opening up in civic. This will undoubtedly give the likes of Guzman Y Gomez and Mad Mex a run for their money. Greater choices for Canberrans hurray! Read more…
I’ve just passed the sign stating Croissant D’or – a French patisserie currently in Civic, is opening up at the Westfield Woden plaza this month! Excitement! I’m never able to visit the civic store so I can’t wait for the Woden one to open. Right near my work ๐ Will provide an update when it […] Read more…
4th Seed is a great new-ish cafe in the Queanbeyan CBD serving breakfast and lunch. I’d read a review that the French Toast was pretty good but was only available on weekends. So on a free Saturday morning, I headed over. They have a display cabinet of yummy treats like macarons, tarts, muffins, cakes and […] Read more…
I received a text message from Sage Dining introducing the โTaste and Testโ 5-course tasting menu ($60) available for diners to provide feedback on their new menu. This is a heavily discounted deal running Tuesday to Thursday nights until September 26. Great opportunity to test out their new concepts. Sage is one of my favourite […] Read more…
So I decided to try out more items on the menu at the Dickson Dumpling House after having a dinner banquet here with work colleagues. I made a reservation for Saturday night and we showed up on time. When I told the waitress of my booking, she yelled out something in Chinese to a fellow […] Read more…

My foodie work colleague calls me the dumpling queen. I absolutely love eating them!! The Dickson Dumpling House was chosen as a venue for one my work dinners. I’d been here a few years back and didn’t think it was that impressive. However, two of my work colleagues have been raving about it, so I […] Read more…
Mint Rd – A new coffee spot and cafe opened up in Narrabundah a few weeks ago. I tried it out for breakfast one Sunday morning. When walking inside the small cafe, I was greeted warmly by staff. The first thing I noticed was the magnificent green Italian coffee machine. I’d read that Mint Rd […] Read more…
As part of the annual Fireside Festival held around Canberra and its surrounding regions every August, many restaurants such as Podfood, Grazing, Flint in the Vines and more have special demonstrations/lunches/dinners. It also happens to coincide with truffle season. I attended the Poachers Pantry degustation last year and loved it so I was excited to […] Read more…
Konoba at Hotel Realm in Barton looks pretty schmick. The photos are a bit dark (iphone cameras are not great with dim settings) but the inside of the restaurant had nice sleek and sophisticated furnishings as it should for a 5 star restaurant. I was pretty pleased that our group of 10 were able to […] Read more…
