When I was in Perth last year, I’d heard some buzz around the new restaurants and bars in Print Hall which opened up at the end of 2012. Print Hall holds four levels of dining and bar options and is located inside a heritage-listed newspaper house on St George’s Terrace in the city. I never […] Read more…
There are so many places I want to check out in the Perth food scene. Offering modern French cuisine, I picked Bistro Guillaume at the Crown Casino for dinner with a friend after looking at the menu and seeing a few pictures of the restaurant and, of course, the food. The original restaurant opened up […] Read more…
I’d heard Tuck Shop Cafe was a popular brunch spot in Northbridge but had limited seating (fits 25 people inside apparently) and was always packed out on weekends. Luckily I’m on holidays so I was able to go in on a weekday. It is rather small and cosy inside. All the tables have wheels at […] Read more…
I caught up with some friends at Lalla Rookh Bar and Eating House on St Georges Terrace in Perth City. The freshly made pastas sounded appealing, as well as some other items on the menu, so I was happy to try it out. It’s located underground, and there are stairs leading down from the street […] Read more…
I’m in Perth for two weeks and took the family out for brunch at Typika Artisan Roasters in Claremont. The first thing my sister and I noticed on the menu was the ‘deconstructed hot chocolate’. I asked our waiter what this was and he mentioned it’s a glass of warm milk, with a small glass […] Read more…
My friends and I were keen to try Canberra’s #1 restaurant, Aubergine, rated by the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide. The restaurant’s simple website only provides address details and a sample menu. On the night, we were greeted warmly by a waiter and shown to our seats. I was immediately asked if I wanted […] Read more…
During the Christmas shutdown period, I decided it was time to shop around for a new mattress. Halfway through browsing the many mattress shops in Fyshwick, I drove past Elaine’s Gourmet Pies (located at the bend of Wollongong Street) which was the only food shop open during that period. The sign claims these are award […] Read more…
Pistachio Dining has been on my list of places to try for about 5 years now. Located in Torrens, it’s not really on the way to anything so Iβve never had a chance to stop by. I finally organised a dinner there one weeknight with friends. Pistachio nuts are provided on the table for diners […] Read more…
Mrs Sackville recently opened up at the Kingston Foreshore. It’s not along the main strip by the lake, but faces the Bus Depot markets. A lovely framed menu stands outside. Upon entering, the first thing you notice is the mismatched furniture – wooden tables, cute cushions on the seats and benches, then glass tables and […] Read more…
Some friends and I had Sunday brunch at Trev’s in Dickson. They must have lost our booking because when I enquired about our table, they had to quickly scramble to get a table for 5 together and looked a little lost. I like the funky ‘Keep Calm’ posters on the wall, with ‘Keep Calm, Weekend […] Read more…
