This post is an amalgamation of the times I’ve visited the Flute Bakery and their tasty treats. I’d heard of Flute Bakery from several people, but as they’re opening times are Monday to Friday 9am-3pm, it’s almost impossible to visit. Earlier this year, on a day off, I decided to check this place out for […] Read more…
I organised a group dinner at Me & Mrs Jones in Kingston with some friends. When I rang up to make a booking, they informed me that there were only spare tables in the enclosed heated outdoor area. It was a cold Canberraโs Winterโs night but the staff member assured me it would be warm […] Read more…
A friend suggested I check out Bean and Grain for their awesome bagels. I must admit, I’m not a huge fan of bagels – they’re usually dry and dense. Bean and Grain bake their bagels and other breads fresh every day. Located at the Fyshwick fresh food markets, you need to get in early-ish (before […] Read more…
When I found out the new-ish China Plate restaurant in Kingston was serving yumcha on weekends, I put it on my foodie bucket list to try out. There are two yumcha banquets available – standard and premium. We went with the premium banquet. Each person receives one of each yumcha dish. At $40 per person, […] Read more…
Replacing Milk & Honey in civic is Shorty‘s – restaurant and bar. They offer bar food, finger food, mains, desserts and drinks. The fit out inside is pretty funky. They’ve kept the two levels and it now has a lounge/bar feel to it with limited outdoor dining. Iโve been here on 2 separate occasions so […] Read more…

Iโd read that the massive churrasco (bbq/oven pit) that you see as you walk in was imported straight from Brazil. I organised a group booking for a Thursday night โ the second night of it opening. It was also a […] Read more…
I was heading to Sydney for the day with a friend to see the show Wicked. I did a bit of research on restaurants and read about Din Tai Fung– advertised as serving the worldโs tastiest dumplings.ย Din Tai Fung originated in Tai Pei and now has a chain of restaurants all over the world. […] Read more…
On my NYC foodie list was a pastrami sandwich at the famous Carnegie Delicatessen. This restaurant is huge with plenty of seating in the back rooms. When we walked in, it was almost packed so we were lucky to get a table. The first thing you notice are all the celebrity photos in frames (most […] Read more…
I’d read that the ‘bun’ craze started at Momofuku in NYC. So I made a beeline for the noodle bar on one of my free non-planned lunch days. I heard it gets really busy so made sure we got there before noon. I asked for seats at the counter so I could watch everything happen. […] Read more…
Being a mad foodie visiting the big apple, New York City, I just had to try a Michelin three star restaurant. Daniel was one of the restaurants with availability for the time we were there. I made a 6pm booking for my partner and I. Upon entering through the rotating sliding doors, you enter into […] Read more…
