I have vague memories of visiting the Court Hotel but it would have been years ago, before their big refurb and it was only for a drink. So a recent invitation to their Summer Menu Launch was a welcome opportunity to check out this Perth institution.   The weather was some kind of Summer wonderful […]

I love Holy Bagel Company bagels, so when I venture to a new cafe that stocks them it is very hard to go past them! Such was the case on a recent visit to Hylin in West Leederville. A trendy new corner cafe, with vast open windows, cute potted plants and a friendly crew running […]

I don’t often go out for an ice cream. I probably couldn’t tell you the last time I went out specifically for a scoop but that’s not to say I’m not a fan. We generally have a tub in the freezer or Snickers ice cream bars if they are on special, when I tend to get […]

When the first store opened in Northbridge earlier this year, folks flocked from far and wide to tuck into PappaRich’s famous Roti Canai and the long list of other delicious traditional Malaysian dishes. And it was with similar fanfare that the second store opened recently at Carousel. That’s right – two PappaRich’s in P-town! Aren’t […]

Oz Harvest WA officially launched in Perth recently, which is an exciting announcement albeit somewhat tinged with sadness. Sad in the sense that Perth still has people less fortunate that definitely need the helping hand that Oz Harvest will provide. OzHarvest is the first perishable food rescue organisation in Australia collecting quality excess food from commercial […]

How fortuitous can timing get? Moving office to Brookfield Place and then being asked to be a Brookfield Place Cafe Court Ambassador! Like I needed more of a reason to visit my new local cafe court! Actually I just love the fact that my new office is located so close to a cafe court and in this program I […]

Let me start by saying that I don’t profess to be any sort of food expert. I enjoy different dishes from around the globe but perhaps some are slightly more familiar than others. Take Chinese for instance. I know there are dishes that I like and growing up there were definitely some firm take away favourites […]

I enjoy cooking. I’m no expert but I always try and bring two things with me to the kitchen – passion and enthusiasm – and I find with them in tow you are much more likely to have some culinary success. Now I have a reasonable cook book collection and let’s face it, the internet […]

It can be tricky business sometimes when you end up having a late lunch and know you have dinner plans, so you really need to curtail normal ordering habits. Such was the conundrum (and first world problem) I experienced on Saturday. GG and I had spent a few hours shopping in the big city and […]

As soon as I had heard that Chef Paul Zammit had opened a new restaurant I couldn’t wait to get there. When I found out that it was opening so close to home I literally couldn’t believe my luck!  I had the chance to try Chef Paul’s food at two of his previous venues – […]
