It’s undeniable that the Plan B $10 Wagyu Burger has almost become a legend in its own right. Not really working in the vicinity I mourned ever having the chance to try it again, however when I walked past Funky Chef and saw a $10 Wagyu Burger up on the board I immediately jumped to [...]

With my weekend spent in Canbera, where else would I choose to go for brunch in Canberra than my FAVOURITE bakery/cafe , Silo Bakery.

2. Sticky Date Pudding

Maisy’s is a great cafe to hang or relax as you are guaranteed that it’s open at any time of the day/night.

At first glance, Cafe ish is a smallish joint located in a quiet area of Surry Hills. It serves Japanese/Australian fusion cuisine. However what differentiates this place from every other Modern fusion restaurant is that the chef attempts to recapture the past and incorporate it into “now” dishes, creating a more traditional Australian/Japanese fusion. Proof of Cafe-ish’s propensity towards traditonal Australian cuisine is depicted in Josh’s (chef) choice of utilising archaic but abundant ingredients, such as Kangaroo, Crocodile, and native bush berries and herbs.
