A Canberra foodie's adventures
I was sitting down and watching Masterchef on TV when I noticed that from Gelato Messina was on the show. I’ve made two trips to Gelato Messina and realised I haven’t actually done a write up of it, so here it is 🙂 I discovered Gelato Messina last year after doing some research on the […] Read more…
All Canberra sweet-lovers were aflutter when it was announced that Dessert Castle was opening up at the University Lodge in Acton. I have a massive sweet-tooth and could easily swap an entree out for another dessert, or just have dessert for dinner. I was lucky enough to head to Dessert Castle’s launch on Friday night.

I headed back to Ricardo’s about a month ago after hearing they had introduced self-injecting donuts to the menu. That day, they only had jam fillings but I was looking forward to it. Who doesn’t love a warm jam donut? This came out on a long thick wooden plank, with a warm sugar and cinnamon […] Read more…
A friend showed me a photo of this amazing looking dessert at C Dine Bar, so I headed there for a quick lunch and dessert one sunny day. I hadn’t had a proper meal at C Dine since September last year, with the exception of its Buck-a-shuck Fridays or $1 oysters (now replaced with 1kg […] Read more…
I was in the Braddon area on a Sunday and decided to stop by Autolyse to get a late take away lunch. At 2.30 in the afternoon, the place was packed with every single outdoor table taken and a few people sitting inside. There was also a long queue to order. The last time I […] Read more…
Feeling slightly peckish before heading to the movies at Westfield Belconnen, I spotted some sweet dumplings at Tasuke located on the ground floor just opposite Coles. All $2 each in their own box, I tried the tiramisu dumpling and Sakura rice dumpling. These are kind of similar to mochi with the use of sticky glutinous […] Read more…
Sometime last year, I bought a Groupon voucher for 6 cannoli from Ciao Cafe & Cakes. I can’t quite remember how much it was but I think it was under the $10 mark (these are usually $4.50 each). Ciao Cafe & Cakes is located in Queanbeyan on Crawford Street. I have noticed and driven past […] Read more…
Max Brenner opened up at the Kingston Foreshore a few months ago. The only other Max Brenner location is in Belconnen, quite far from me, so I don’t often get a chance to drop in. The other weekend, I decided to have something chocolatey and popped into the new store. It was early morning so […] Read more…
The first time I went to Dolce & Salato, I noticed the large wood-fired oven in the corner but it wasn’t in action just yet. Just before Christmas, they fired up the oven and I got to try it out earlier this month. Some friends and I shared two pizzas between the three of us. […] Read more…
Heading into Canberra Centre, I noticed that Moochi frozen yogurt had opened up opposite Big W. This is the fourth froyo shop to open up in Canberra (that I know of) after Yogurtland, Noggi and Nominom. Prices seem a little cheaper than Yogurtland (I spent nearly $10) where yogurt is charged by weight. At Moochi, […] Read more…
