A really hot night at Morks Restaurant | Ping @morksrestaurant


This week has been warm in Canberra. Finally some decent weather. If only it was more humid. This week would have to be the best week I’ve ever experienced in Canberra weather-wise. We’ve had maximum temperatures in excess of 40 °C on some days and in the high 30s on others. I can’t get over […]

A nice walk, then Morks and finally squawks | Brunch with @morksrestaurant


It’s been a lovely weekend. This morning the lovely Bron proposed a long walk around the eastern loop of Lake Burley Griffin followed by brunch at Morks Restaurant on the Kingston Foreshore. After that we planned a look through the Old Bus Depot Markets. The eastern loop is an established path. I’d never walked it […]

The New Morks Restaurant at Kingston


On Thursday evening, Bron (who was looking stunning) and I went to dinner with a couple of friends who we regularly dine with. We hadn’t eaten together for a while and we wanted to share travelling stories, Vietnam for us and Japan for them. Bron and I recently had a meal at Morks in the […]

Our last meal at Morks in Florey | Looking forward to Morks in Kingston


Thursday evening Bron took me to dinner at Morks. We’d been there many times before and thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. Check out the previous posts on Morks. By the end of September Morks will have relocated to Kingston. The last night in Florey is Saturday 31 August 2013. When we arrived Benn greeted us with […]

Thai to die for | The best Canberra restaurant experience in some time | Morks of Florey


On Wednesday evening Bron and I ate dinner at Morks in Florey. When Bron mentioned Morks and said it was Thai I wondered why it was named Morks. It didn’t sound Thai but what would I know. Bron had found Morks on-line (TripAdvisor.com) when searching for a good place to eat locally. She’d also heard […]

Roll’d in the Canberra Centre. How does it compare with Saigon Fresh in Gungahlin?


Ever since coming home from Vietnam Bron and I have been in search of good Bánh Mì (Saigon roll) in Canberra. Bron has found Saigon Fresh in Gungahlin which has been great. It certainly satisfies a hunger we get from time to time. A number of Canberra bloggers and blog comments have mentioned Roll’d a […]

Grill’d Healthy Burgers in the Canberra Centre


A little while ago I received an e-mail about the opening of a new Grill’d Health Burgers restaurant in the Canberra Centre. The e-mail was an offer for a complimentary burger that I could review. This is the first time I’ve been made such an offer. This blog is a hobby and I’ve never really […]
