avoid imperial at swinger

Thanks for the tip Bonfire. I’ve always been tempted by that place but I guess I’ll give it a miss. La Musica e in Belconnen is great for Woodfired Pizza. The best Pizza place I have found on Northside so far. They even have two for one pizza nights. I think it is Wednesday and Thursday.

the turkish place at gungahlin shops is pretty bad. they must use the lowest cost possible tomato paste which is loaded with MSG. their salami is also shocking.

I used to love the asian noodle house in Dickson until they gave me the worst case of food poisoning I think anyone could have. It was duck, but still, no excuse.

For the people in Ngunnaway/Gungahlin, the Indian restaurant at the Platypus Centre in Ngunnawal is very good. The food is great and staff are very helpful and friendly.

ginger and spice is a good local for me

Yes it is good. Takeaway isn’t as flash as eating in, I’ve found.

but a ne competitor around the corner is Hot Chillies – they do a really really nice lemon and basil beef

Agree. Just that the beef has a yucky boiled look to it.

im told the civic asian noodle house, which apart from location is identical in every respect to the asian dickson noodle house, is in fact an unauthorised knockoff operation right down to the menu…

anyone know if this is true or if potential mrs bonfire was leg pulling.

The Tip Top, upstairs in Garema Pl, is one of my faves.

Don’t forget the Dickson Noodle House – their laska is consistently good.

ginger and spice is a good local for me – mmm 10 spice chicken – but a ne competitor around the corner is Hot Chillies – they do a really really nice lemon and basil beef

for good chinese-style food, tak kee at dickson was first roast duck place in cbr, and is still the best. china tea club at nth lyneham is also tasty. and sammy’s… what can you say, but yum!

swinger hill is a sht hole

WTF?

Thanks for the tip re Imperial – now everybody in my office has it as well 🙂

What i mean is that swinger hill is a sht hole, so I wouldnt expect too much of the restaurants. Can’t speak on the indian there though.

I didn’t say anything about Pearce however – Ramas is one of my favourites.

Has anyone here tried My’s at Cooleman Court. I’ve been there twice, and I would say they have some of the best food I’ve ever tasted.

stung, what do you mean by the reference to s/h shops? the indian restaurant there is sensational, as is the one at pearce shops – so why should the location cause concern??

swinger hill shops: have you been to jahengir? (spelling?). Possible the best indian in canberra.

I had a very similar experience at that indian place in belco next to the old ground floor. When they want you to leave they turn the heating and lights off and open the door. again – well before closing time.

Ginger & Spice @ Gungahlin FTW! Best food ever!

word DMD, word.

To follow up Justbands, I’ve also found the Vietnamese restaurant at the old Macquarie shops to be one of the best restaurants ever. The owner is good-humored and friendly and the food…mmmm…fried icecream. I’m gonna get me some of that soon.

Did you respond in Cantonese when they were abusing you? That would be funny.

Somewhat related….not Chinese, however the Vietnamese place at Fisher Shops is the exact opposite of what you’ve just described. Food is great, service even better.

“swinger hill shops”

wtf did you expect??
