It has been a long time since my last MCC post and a lot has happened during this time. Cousin A had became a mother to a very cute baby boy. Cousin K went on exchange to Japan. Recently Cousin K came back from her exchange, she suggested we should start our monthly catchups again,…

Chinese New Year @ XO
In many Asian communities around the world, one of the most important event celebrated would have to be Chinese New Year (or Lunar New Year). Food is one of the important aspects when celebrating Chinese New Year and this year I had the opportunity to try the Chinese New Year menu at XO with a…
Lunch at Paleo Cafe Canberra.
Last month I was lucky enough to win a $100 gift card from Eat Canberra, so I treated my family to brunch at Paleo Cafe Canberra. We arrived around 11:20, which I reckon had to be the worst time because the breakfast service ends in less than 10 minutes so we had to wait until…
Orient Kitchen – Canberra’s Newest Chinese Barbecue.
Orient Kitchen opened their doors just before the end of 2015, increasing the number of Chinese barbecue stores in Canberra to eight (please correct me if I’m wrong). I finally got the chance to have lunch at Orient Kitchen, six months later…
Lunch session at Kinn Thai.
Since opening in Canberra last year, I have been to Kinn Thai numerous times, mostly for lunch. Besides Morks, Kinn Thai would have to be my other favourite Thai restaurant in Canberra.
MCC: The District, Crace.
It turns out it was my turn to choose where to have our MCC, I took a risk venturing out of the CBD and decided to go to Crace, a fairly new neighbourhood. Once again we plagued by the same problem as last time, we didn’t do enough research. We originally planned to visit The…
My lucky experience at NOMA Australia
30th of October 2015. This date is significant to me because at exactly 10am, the online reservations for Noma Australia is officially open. Unfortunately all the tables were booked out in under five minutes and I missed out. Those who wonder what’s the fuss about Noma, well in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 it was ranked number one…
MCC: Dumplings @ Yat Bun Tong
I was actually excited for our next MCC (Monthly Cousin Catchup) because we were planning on going to the newly opened Japanese restaurant on Lonsdales Street, Chaki Chaki. Unfortunately, they are closed on Sunday’s and Monday’s and it was a Monday when MCC happened. We were sad and disappointed. Because we wanted Japanese food and…
Lunch @ MY’s Restaurant, Weston
A while back, I went to MY’s Restaurant for lunch with the family. It has been nearly 5 years since the last time I went to MY’s Restaurant, maybe even longer since it was at their old premise.
Monthly Cousin Catchup – Grease Monkey
After our previous catch up at Doubleshot, it was my turn to choose where we were going to catch up next. I went to Instagram to find some inspiration on where we could go, after looking at several photos, I decided on Grease Monkey because of a photo on their fried chicken…
Recipe: Childhood Apple water
Growing up in an Asian household, the fridge would always be filled with jugs of teas and tonics. Besides the bitter herbal teas which mum always forced us to drink, the most memorable drink would have to be mums homemade apple water.
Morks, not your everyday Thai.
It has been over two years since Morks opened their doors at Kingston Foreshore. Throughout these two years, I’ve been there numerous times and everytime it has been very satisfying. If you think the Thai you had last week was the very best in Canberra, I am so sorry, but you’ll need to get yourself…
