Some good ones off the top of my head:

* La Scala

* Gus' cafe

* The little italian place on the la scala side of mama's trattoria in garema

* Babar, downstairs @ woden (great risottos and bruschetta)

* APK (woden has great food but the service isn't fantastic, can't comment on the others)

* Ming's chinese @ phillip (awesome honey beef)

* Ethiopian restaurant @ pearce shops

* Greater Indian @ curtin shops

* Chalisa Indian @ tuggeranong

* Chinatown @ weston

That's about all I can think of at the moment.... TBH I haven't really been to a *bad* restaurant in canberra, some have been in the 'nothing special' category but I've never had a meal somewhere and thought 'well that was shit.'

Not sure if I should post this or not, but don't eat sushi trains in Canberra. One thing is they taste bad, but the other thing is the main reason you shouldn't! They always get inspections from some government departments.

Other than that, Gingseng is good, Rowland and Sil are top blokes.

And does anyone get the feelin that the steaks at Hogs Breath are getting smaller?

actually thats one place that pisses me off the last two time i have gone to hogs breath in woden it has been shit. I always get the steak sandwich and the first time it was chewey as all hell and the last one felt as though it had just been taken out of the fridge... stone fricking cold... other than that i love hog breath but don't know if i should put up with it happening twice.

It would have to be a topic about food to get me posting lol

I recommend:

Rubicon - Griffith Shops (my favourite in canberra)

Gus' - Civic

Milk and Honey - Civic (small meals but tasty)

Viet behind Hagi baba in weston

Jimmy's - dickson (My favourite chinese)

Taekee - Dickson (best barbequed chinese meats especially duck)

Pho Quoc - Dickson (really good viet soup (Pho) )

Hoggs breath is really inconsistent, last few times I have had good steaks and burgers, but I dont think they really care about the presentation of the meal. They have also tried to pass off normal steak as their slow cooked steak once and it wasnt till my friend complained did they admit or and gave him a discount and some 25% coupons.

And does anyone get the feelin that the steaks at Hogs Breath are getting smaller?

I went to some boat show thingo.. where people ski.. on water, and the hogs breath girls were there strutting their "stuff" *shudder*. The streaks aren't the only things that are getting smaller.. I'll tell you that. :P

:P:laugh:

What sort of twilight zone is this!

And im not too sure about the steaks getting smaller, i went there for my birthday last year and the steaks seemed good, pricey, but really nice food.

that was in civic..

I agree with loymclure on the maccas queanbeyan driveway, no matter what angle i drive in i always scrape some how!!

GOOD: Lime Leaf (asian food) in queanbeyan, make a great green curry mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Charmers in manuka, have a great potato stack for brekky and cakes to die for

BAD: Belgian Beer Cafe in kingston (copped food poisoning about 3 times now) :(

Chinese takeaway place next to Woolies in Dickson, tastes bad and 'honey chicken' is chunky bits of chicken bone and you have to pour your own sauce over it!! :rofl:

Ali Baba in fyshwick, got sick from eating the chicken kebabs

I love old speckled hen, they used to have it at the durham aswell, but now its gone....

I also like the odd pint of kronenburg from filthy's, delicious.

Jimmy's and Giseng definately the choice for a good chinese food the satay combination at Jimmy's is yummy, as is the Satay chicken on broccoli from ginseng.

Kismet in Manuka for good Kebabs too.

Hey all,

I'm coming up from Melbourne tomorrow for the Canberra marathon. Could someone pop up a couple of good Italian restaurants for me and the boys to carb up on Saturday night? (with the address).

And give a toot if you see a R33 with vic plates :(

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
