Canberra is a relatively new estate that remains unfamiliar to those not living in the area. While the opening of Canberra Plaza caused some fanfare, it’s not the only place you can hunker down for a good bite. Here are some hidden gems worth checking out if you are in Canberra.
1. Flying Wok
Yong Li Coffee Station, 105 Canberra Street
Flying Wok is a humble zichar stall that serves up local delights such as chilli crab, curry fish head and hotplate stingray. However, the Halal-certified shop is best known for its Jumbo Mama Wok: Instant noodles tossed in tom yum soup alongside prawns, clams, meatballs and chicken cutlet.
With the generous assortment of meat and seafood in a mouthwatering broth, you can look forward to one gratifying meal. The distinctive dish comes in three sizes ($13 for 1 pax, $22 for 2-3 pax, $49.90 for 8-10 pax) — perfect for both small and large groups.
2. Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji
105 Canberra Street
Looking for a more traditional zichar? Hong Kong Street Zhen Ji is located just next door. Whether you are dining alone or in a big group, the restaurant’s extensive menu will leave you spoilt for choice. Prices start from $5.20 for delectable dishes such as mee goreng and dry fried hor fun.
If you are up for something different, try the Ginger Onion Deer Meat Rice ($8). Zhen Ji’s star item, however, is the Assam Fish Head ($14.80). The sauce is aromatic and flavourful without being too overwhelming, thus allowing one to properly savour the fish's freshness.
