Tucked away: Canberra's best food is right there in the 'burbs

Last week, we brought you the news that Benn and Mork Ratanakosol, the brothers behind Morks in Kingston and Minima in Yarralumla, had opened a new place at Scullin shops. Yes, that's right, the small shopping strip in the heart of Scullin, which is in the heart of Belconnon.

But this wasn't in any way a departure for these purveyors of elevated Asian food. The brothers were raised by suburban eateries, starting with Sukothai in Yarralumla, then Morks in Florey and Kingston. Coming back to Belconnen is like coming home. And imagine how happy the locals are!
