As part of my to-do list, I want to go to 15 Restaurants in Canberra that I haven’t been to before, in the next 1001 days (starting in October 2009 and finishing in July 2012).
So starting from October, this is a list of the restaurants I’ve been to, with a brief critique.
1. Asian Noodle House in Civic. with Miriam, Paige and Anita before seeing Avenue Q at the Canberra Theatre
Verdict: YUMMO. Service was a tad slow, but they were quite busy. The Asian Noodle house in Dickson is really good too.
2. Nando’s in Civic. With JA and his dad
Verdict: Meh. I got a mild chicken wrap, which was just chicken strips, lettuce and a bit of tomato. It just wasn’t very tasty, and I could have made it better myself. JA and Frank also said their meals weren’t impressive. We’ve decided take-away from Oporto is much nicer.
3. Noodle Place in Fyshwick. With JA on his lunchbreak
Verdict: Winner. This place was really fast to serve us, the meals were huge, cheap, and super tasty.
4. Mezzalira on West Row with JA for our 1st Anniversary
Verdict: Delicious. This Italian restaurant in Civic was perfect, quite pricey but worth every cent. Great service, wonderful food, and lovely atmosphere. Everything you want in a fancy restaurant.
5. Caffe Ravello in Dickson with Lexi and Clo for our semi-regular catchup dinner
Verdict: Good eats. Another Italian place, the “Café by day, restaurant by night” was cheap, yum, and had good service. Not fancy, but definitely good.
Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere. I'm Mikaela, I am female, 25, married, and busy by choice. I love life and have too many ideas in my head, and wish there were more hours in the day (I'm sure old people always said that when I was growing up). I live in and love Canberra, Australia (2 hours to beach or snow, what more could you ask for?). For more about who I am and what I do, go to the about page =)
We had giant hamburgers for dinner. Bun, tomato sauce, mustard, cheese, hot chilli meat pattie, more cheese, pineapple, beetroot, tomato, lettuce, avocado, bun. YUM. Giant! I had two. See my last post about always eating too much.
Yesterday I was in Coles and saw this yummo looking Italian bread which inspired me to make Bruschetta as an entreé to dinner last night. I forgot to get Olive Oil when I was there so had to improvise with peanut oil, but it wasn’t too bad. I buttered the bread (no oil, remember?), spread [...]
This is a recipe I sort of made up about 4 years ago. I think it’s probably based on something I had once and I just tried to remember the ingredients when putting it together. I’ve got it down to a fine art now, everyone loves this salad. It goes perfectly with snags and steak [...]
Before going to the coast last week I made 2 ribbon organiser boxes. One turned out really well, the other not so much. Here is the latter, made from an old tissue box. The reason I don’t like the end result is because the tissue box was too flimsy to begin with, the walls went [...]
As promised, here are Girds’ and Harley’s new doggie beds! The reason I decided to make these is because their current beds are lumpy, big oofy pillows, with blankets on top. They take up far too much room in our bedroom, aren’t very portable, and are hard to wash. These beds, however, are the opposite [...]
Yesterday and today were spent putting my house back together, so I haven’t had a chance to complete the DIY projects I wanted to do today to show here. Hopefully I can finish the doggie beds tonight as well as at least start on my ribbon organiser… We’ll see how I go, I still have [...]
