We are a group of Canberrans who have been eating out together for more than 20 years at mainly Asian restaurants, sometimes more upmarket places. The retirees amongst us also have a regular morning coffee group. This blog is primarily a record of where we went, what we ate and what we liked and didn't like. It's not intended to be an extensive and insightful review of each restaurant and each dish, hence comments are often limited to expressions such as "yum", which says it all for us.

Who had what for dinner?
Ron - Steamed potatoes in their jackets with lots of butter and salt and pepper. Simple and one of my favourites. Anzac biscuits for dessert - another of my favourites. Ok, so I have eclectic meals when it suits me.
Megan: I had frittata with fresh tomato on the side and home made apple crumble with lots of cream for dessert
Karen and Jim: We had slow cooked pulled pork with bbq sauce and coleslaw (comfort food at its best!) matched with a Tyrrells 2016 Verdehlo. Dessert was a home-cooked rich chocolate, macadamia brownie with cream served with a 2012 Knappstein late harvest semillon (the sticky was even nicer than the brownie!!).
