It was a solid way to kick off a week. Monday night was my first ever Chinese New Year celebration as I headed along to the Dragon Palace in Northbridge to partake in a Lunar New Year Banquet. It was also my debut visit to Dragon Palace and what a massive venue it is! It […]

Ploy Thai has been part of the Eighth Avenue, Maylands scenery for a while now. It became a favourite of many locals as soon as the owners made the move from their previous home in Subiaco and have been pulling consistent crowds ever since. It’s a fairly inconspicuous restaurant, melding in with the other cafes, […]

Since my first visit to Lido in Northbridge last year I have been a massive fan. Such lovely Vietnamese food, always so fresh and full of flavour! I’m so grateful that on my first visit I was with Mrs M who introduced me to the wonder of Shaking Veal, which I’d say is the best […]

I have wanted to go to Nahm Thai for what seems like forever. A few years ago for a friend’s birthday there was an elaborate rouse that a group of her friends were going to head to Nahm Thai for dinner but in actual fact we were throwing her a surprise 29th party so we […]

I’m not entirely sure how I happened upon Chilli Orange. I think I was poking around urbanspoon one day and saw a review for it and noticed that it had some really positive feedback so I booked it in for a Thursday date night for the lovely GG and myself. It really isn’t too far […]

For a long time when I’ve been heading to Northbridge for Vietnamese my go to has been Viet Hoa. A consistent performer and their sang choy bow is just delicious! I find it hard to go past, but recently some friends and I, Mrs M and Lady L, were catching up for dinner to run through […]

The Good Food and Wine Show is one of those events that I’ve always wanted to go to, but just never got around to. Strange because I am partial to both good food and good wine J Thankfully though the stars aligned this year. I was fortunate enough to receive a ticket from Devahasdin, so […]

Since my recent foray into pho I’ve been dreaming of reliving the experience. Winter really is perfect soup weather. A big bowl of steamy soup will warm you all the way to the tips of your toes. So when it was time for a catch up with a group of friends and I had to […]

Freo is a lovely part of the world, but given where I live it often feels terribly far away, so I don’t get there too often. Recently though my sister and I were planning a catch up with Miss G, who worked out that way, so since we also both worked south of the river […]

Winter is the perfect time for soup. Whether it be chicken and vegetables, maybe tomato or pumpkin or something  slightly more exotic like the rich spicy flavours of a laksa, the noodley goodness of a ramen or as the case was for me on a recent Wednesday evening a Vietnamese pho. Phở is a Vietnamese noodle soup consisting of […]
