I patted myself on the back for ordering the Salt and pepper tofu ($14.90), Pork and prawn dumplings ($18.90 for 8 pieces) and the Slow cooked beef cheek in Hong shao style ($28.90) the other evening.

I really loved the crunchy textures from the tofu dish contrasting with the softness of the beef cheek and the chewiness of the handmade dumpling skin. The flavours were spot on and I wouldn't hesitate to order these dishes again. The only disappointment was the amount of rice you get for a $3 serve of rice. Can you believe there were only about 3-4 mouthfuls in each serve?!

has arrived in Gungahlin! 🙌

If you're new to Canberra (or if you're not) and don't know what Goodberry’s is, it's a frozen custard dessert. It looks like ice cream but it contains a lot less air than ice cream and is made with only 5 natural ingredients.

You can build your own Concrete with any mix of sweets, fudges, fruits, and nuts blended into vanilla or chocolate frozen custard. Or, try their flavour of the week. They served Kitkat Honeycomb Buzz at the preview of the new store and it tasted incredible!🍫🍯

Give their Frozen Custard Sundaes a try if you like classic treats. Choose your base and instead of blending in your mix ins, they'll put them on top. If deciding from the long lists of syrups, lollies, nuts and fruits is too overwhelming, choosing from their Premium or Specialty sundaes menus might be an easier option 😅

I ordered the Ferrero Specialty Concrete which included Nutella and hazelnut wafers. Let me tell you - it did not disappoint! 😍

Goodberry's Franklin store opens 11am on Wednesday 31 July at the location where Meadows/Ritzys used to be. Let’s hope this one sticks around longer than the last ones did! 😅

To the lovely pathologist (and fellow foodie!) I met this morning, this is the place I was talking about - .o.japanese. I just love their rich, flavoursome Tonkotsu broth! Their original location is in Belconnen and I used to have to line up for ages at lunchtime to get a table...but now they have 2 other locations in Woden .o.woden and Canberra City .o.canberra.cbd!

The line for newly opened shop at the snaked around the store but had gotten used to waiting for Godiva soft serve so this was a piece of cake! 💁‍♀️ Plus there were nice tunes so that helped too. I chose Cookie man 🍪 because I had heard that was good - and it was! She chose Raspberry which she loved but it was too sour for me. But the winner I thought was actually my friend's Mascarpone and Strawberry 🍓 (no pic of it, soz). I can't wait to try all the flavours 😍 If you've been, which is your favourite flavour? Let me know 👇

We enjoyed this amazing breakfast spread that put together with less than 24 hour's notice (bad weather ruined our original brunch plans).

After saying she would prepare "something sweet and something savoury" the day before, this magical feast appeared the next day: scrambled eggs, fried eggs, bacon, sausages, cheese kranskies, pastries, donuts, sourdough with butter, strawberries, raspberries, and other fruit including the most amazing grapes I've ever had 🤩 yoghurt and home made pistachio granola, juice, teas and coffee👏👏👏 Did I mention everything?!
