One of my favourite things about all these voucher websites – scoopon, spreets, jumponit, etc – is that its a brilliant excuse to head out to eat at places I probably might not have thought to go to. Let’s face it there are a zillion places to eat in Perth, just trying to work my […]

I heart chocolate and love to embrace the opportunity at Easter time to try out a few recipes with a distinctly chocolate flavour. This year because of some brilliant aligning of the stars, people in Oz scored a 5-day long weekend as Easter and Anzac Day lined up. Talk about fabulous! So over those days GG and I […]

One of my favourite places to visit along Hay Street in West Perth, perhaps when work is a little tough and I’m looking for a little sugary inspiration, is a place called Joe’s Cake Kitchen. A completely amazing bakery that couldn’t be better positioned! I’ve sampled their tasty sausage rolls and mini quiches at many a […]

There’s been occasions when I’ve driven down East Parade towards Claisebrook Cove that I’ve seen a hot pink van with Pink Pepper on the side advertising their pizza specials. They always looked good but I don’t live that close to East Perth so i’ve never really had the need to try their wares. Lucky for […]

Given that GG and I are still living the TNT lifestyle for the most part of Monday to Friday, I’m always grateful to find somewhere in the vicinity of the office for lunch when I am not fortunate enough to have leftovers from the night before on hand. I’d been to lunch at The Food […]

I know I’ve spieled on about Amphoras Bar before but I feel that when a place consistently continues to impress it warrants another mention. I visited this tasty tapas bar the other night with a few work collegues for a bite to eat and a bevvy. Fast, friendly service as usual, enough drinks on offer […]

Sunday, April 17th – this was my fifth outting to the Breast Cancer Care WA’s Long Table Lunch, an annual fundraising event. and after missing out last year I was so glad to be back on board in 2011. It’s held at the Claremont Showgrounds under a huge marquee and its honestly seems to get […]

If, after my first visit back in 2009 I was smitten, I think after my second trip there on Saturday, I was more than a little enamoured with the wonder that is Restaurant Amuse. I had been looking forward to GG and my night there since I’d booked it several months prior – a necessity […]

There are some events that you find yourself looking forward to for so long, that when the date finally rolls around it seems unlikely that it will be able to live up the heady expectations put on it. I had these concerns about Saturday night….. The waiting game for April 9th had begun earlier in […]

Time to jump on it (www.jumponit.com)! And this time with a voucher for the fabulous new XO Lounge at the bottom of the ASX building along St George’s Terrace. A fabulous deal for $89 – for a shared antipasto platter, then two mains, two desserts and a bottle of wine! Too good to pass up! […]
