Talk about a match made in heaven. Canberra’s very own Three Mills Bakery has announced they will be collaborating with MasterChef maestros Tokyo Lamington, bringing the Newtown queue-former to Canberra in the form of a pop-up on 11 November. Further details are yet to be announced (keeping the anticipation bubbling), however, two things are for certain: the pop-ups will appear across Canberra, Melbourne, and Sydney, and the inspired baked goodies that come out of this collaboration are sure to be delicious.
Keep an eye on socials for more information @threemillsbakery

Loquita is now (un)officially Canberra’s spiciest venue with the introduction of Taco Roulette. Their play on Russian Roulette is much less deadly – but almost as painful – where one out of 10 tacos carries the heat of Bumble F**ked Hot Sauce, and the unlucky diner is granted a free frozen margarita. Another spicy addition to the menu is Hot Wings Wednesday, daring patrons with Carolina Reaper-coated chicken wings and challenging them to join the ‘Hall of Flame’ by conquering a one-kilo bucket. For context, Carolina Reaper has been named the hottest chilli in the world. Loquita has turned up the heat on their drinks menu as well, with the addition of the Hot Shot – a shot so spicy that patrons must sign a waiver before consuming. Given the rise in spicy menu items, Loquita has also increased its milk supply for those who might need it.
If you’re up for the challenge, Loquita is open Tuesday to Saturday from 5pm till late. Bookings via loquita.com.au
