Back in late February I was reading the Fresh section of the West Australian and heard that a new addition to the Beaufort St strip was expected – El Publico (http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/lifestyle/a/-/lifestyle/12992400/holy-guacamole-it-s-the-real-deal/). I had sort of forgotten about it, but then I saw it mentioned on facebook the other day, then included in a few tweets […]

GG and I are currently working through our to do list ahead of our big day later in the year. And I’m pleased to say we are slowly getting there. To that end we headed into town on the weekend to suss out a few things. Ahead of this though, we were both starving so […]

I’m not sure why but when I first heard about The Classroom I was more than a little intrigued. First mention I saw was on Facebook and I thought the whole premise sounded pretty interesting. Then I saw the influx of positive reviews once it doors swung open and the school bell first rang and […]

I’m Perth born and raised, so perhaps hearing the occasional person state that Perth can be slightly boring – “nothing to do, no night life, no good restaurants” etc, etc grates on me slightly.

In another life I used to spend a lot of time at the Como Hotel. Ok well not a lot of time, but I went there reasonably frequently. Actually even spent New Years there one year….. left with an armload of helium balloons….. I returned there last week for a catch up with a lovely […]

Perth is turning itself into quite the chocolate coated city these days. We’ve had Koko Black set up shop at Claremont Quarter last year and the Margaret River Chocolate Factory opened a new store in the CBD….. but there’s been one chocolatier whose managed to make their mark on the chocolate landscape of Australia since […]

Super excited for three reasons a few weekends ago – firstly it was a looooong weekend (woohoo!), secondly I was going out for Indian good and finally I was catching up some good friends who I hadn’t seen in a whole. Three times yay! We’d made a booking at the 2 Fat Indians, where I […]

Honestly it was like eating in an oven…… It was Friday night and it been one of those days when as the sun went down the heat did just not seem to abate – you’d think living in Perth my whole life I would be used to this summer stretching into autumn caper…. But alas […]

Many moons ago I went to uni at Curtin in Bentley. I was there for four and a half years all up and I have such fond memories of my time there….. despite all those horrendous exams I had to get through J There’s just something about the whole uni lifestyle that is wonderful. Your […]

I’ve been at my new job now for nearly four months. Geeze time goes fast. And I’ve been lucky to find a fellow foodie in my office – the lovely She-ra. We had headed to visit Ohnamiya one day (http://atomic-temporary-19383105.wpcomstaging.com/2011/12/20/ohnamiya/) and when I saw a voucher on deals.com.au for a cafe just down the road […]
