Belgian Beer Cafe - Belgian - Kingston A.C.T.

During one of my jolly bus jaunts throughout Canberra over the weekend I found myself in Woden. As I returned to the bus interchange I noticed a bus with the sign "No 938 Canberra CBD via Kingston". Ok it wasn't a direct route to Canberra CBD but I'm not in a hurry. As the bus makes it's way through the suburb of Kingston I make a last minute decision to get off.

So now I start wandering aimlessly through Kingston with no particular purpose. People are sitting in outdoor cafes enjoying the warmth of November and life in general.

From a distance I notice an establishment that has a certain degree of familiarity. It's a Belgian Beer Cafe.

The Little Noodle Bar - Asian - Fyshwick ACT

As a rookie food blogger I have a lot to learn. One is about the unpredictable opportunities that avail themselves when you least expect them. I recently invested in a new digital camera which I have been using for my foray in the wonderful world of food blogging. One day at work an opportunity presented itself to drive from my place of work before lunch time to collect an urgent consignment of spare parts we needed for some work we were doing.

Asian Noodle House - Asian - Tuggeranong

It would appear as if I have been doing my exploration of Canberra with the help of the local bus company. As soon as the bus stops and I egress from it's confines I perform a panoramic scan of the horizon. Anything remotely resembling an establishment with food (with the exception of pet food suppliers) will have me make a direct B-line heading in that direction. And so was the case with the Asian Noodle House in  Tuggeranong.I simply got off the bus (hungry) and entered the nearest eatery.

Hasmis - Turkish/Indian - Canberra CBD

Right in the heart of Canberra's CBD at the local bus interchange is an unassuming Turkish eatery called Hasmis Kebabs & Turkish Kitchen. This place is open 24/7 and means different things to different people depending on the hour of the day. During respectable hours before 10pm it has a style very similar to your typical Greek-Cafe where you can order Turkish / Indian food with an espresso coffee furnished with basic tables and chairs.

Tasuke - Japanese - Canberra CBD

You would be forgiven to think that Canberra has very little to offer in the way of culinary adventures because you might right to think so. It seems that there is a law of emigration dynamics which states that once you have reached the country of destination you stop traveling. Case in show is New Your City with its Staten Island immigration facility which was used until the advent of widespread air-travel. It would seem as if the journey was so hard that as soon as immigrants crossed the border they lost the will to travel further and settled close to their entry point. NYC is a classic example.
