Dinner @ Can Tho

Tonight we went to the Can Tho Vietmanese & Chinese Restaurant. We’d been there before, and we were happy to go back for another try at it.  I have to say that we weren’t disappointed.

Well, I don’t HAVE to say that, no one paid us… But anyway, moving along…

‘How we rate it’ Explained

This blog has a ratings system for every restaurant, cafe or venue that we do a review on. I thought it would be a nice idea to explain how we work out what the ratings are going to be.

If you have any suggestions for a different kind of rating system that you think would work better, please tell us about it in a comment below. We’d be quite happy to change the rating system if there’s something else out there that might work a whole lot better.

Yum Cha @ The Scholar

We went to The Scholar today for yum cha. We hadn’t been to this one before, so we were curious about how it would be for us. We’re very fussy, you know.

When we arrived there was no one outside. I wasn’t even sure we were at the right place, until we went inside and up the stairs.

Food blogs in Canberra

When I first started thinking about food blogging I knew that it needed a focus on Canberra, since that’s where I live.  So I did some research to get an idea of the current Canberra market of local food blogs, and boy, was I surprised…

Salmon for dinner

Fanfan is an excellent cook, and I’m very lucky and also very happy to be the lucky recipient of many of her dishes!

Below are some photos of the salmon dinner she cooked last night. It was awesome!

Taking food photos

One of the things I’ve really enjoyed over the past couple of years is taking photos of food, trying to capture  and present the beauty of a creation that someone put a lot of effort into.

I’ve usually taken photos of the cooking that has been done at home, on social occasions, etc, but sometimes I’ve also taken photos of the food that’s been served up at restaurants or cafes.

Waterfront Restaurant

We went out the other night with some friends to the Waterfront Restaurant in Gungahlin, Canberra. It was a mostly casual affair, and so the friends were surprised when we started taking photos of the food. But they quickly got used to it!

Social Networking

If there’s one thing that we recognise as being important, it’s the ability to share interesting food with your friends…

That’s why we’ve got a number of social profiles up and going to help you share us with your friends! Help their mouths water as much as yours do…
