Ming Court – Tasty chinese food.

Edit: Under new management since this review was written. Ming Court at the Jingili shops was the chosen place for dinner tonight, another entry to the list of dodgy exterior, not to flash interior...

The Deck Bar - Where East Meets West

The gang at work have made a few appearances at The Deck Bar lately, it's a nice spot to have an alfresco lunch and you also get a "free" drink to go with your main. Win win. I had a craving for fish...

Gippsland Dairy Yogurt – Awesome

I've never been a fan of yogurt and now I know why - I've been eating the cheap and nasty shit all my life! Earlier this week I got myself a tub of the fancy and expensive stuff from Gippsland Dairy...

Kaya toast - Vegemite to Malaysians.

You'll find kaya toast sold in cafés all over Malaysia and Singapore, it's pretty much the equivalent of vegemite for Australians except more sweet than salty. When I was holidaying there last year I...

The Office. No not the TV show.

I went for a little walk down to 55 Cavenagh Street and popped into The Office. A funny name for a café, but also funky at the same time. Upon walking in I was very impressed by the high industrial...

Vietnamese roll from the Parap Markets

The weekend saw me skipping the gym, sleeping in and heading straight to the Parap Markets for some post (non) work-out protein. Yes that is rather slack of me, but I really needed a sleep in. Plus...

Bacon and Egg Chronicles: Melissa's Take-Away

If you've spent some time working in Darwin CBD then you must surely know about Melissa's. Never would you call their servings stingy and you'd never call them expensive either. No guesses for why...

The best tuna and corn sushi in Darwin

The humble tuna and corn sushi has never been one of my favourites, I always thought it was too plain and not fancy enough. However, I officially nominate Rapid Café at Rapid Creek Shopping village...

Bacon and Egg Chronicles: The Roma Bar

It's that time of the week again where I treat myself to something a little greasy on Friday morning. Yes indeed, it's time for a B&E! This morning I ventured into The Roma Bar which I literally...

Red Rooster. Great idea at the time.

There are many inspired foodie choices that one can make in their daily search for dinner, this wasn't on that list. I don't often eat junk food, but too tired and lazy to cook, my partner and I...

When it comes to fruit and vegetables in Darwin, Coles and Woolworths have the range and the price, the markets have cheap Asian vegetables, and the corner store offers convenience at a price. For me...
