I love a menu that embraces creativity, incorporates seasonal ingredients and keeps your taste buds thoroughly entertained with interesting and different flavour combinations.

Bravo Hylin. You’ve just sparked a renewed battle. The battle raged on last year but now round two begins. The battle of the breakfast bruschetta. It is just one of my most favourite breakfasts because you get the delicious oozy mess of a poached egg or two, on top of a mountain of fresh tomato. […]

Farmers are a resilient bunch and they breed them tough in the West. It would have been extremely tough however in March this year when Cyclone Olwyn hit and devastated growers in the Gascoyne region. Beautiful crops obliterated by the destructive fury of Mother Nature. It would have been a huge knock down, but these […]

“The cornerstone of good cooking is to source the finest produce.” Neil Perry I have a couple of Neil Perry’s cookbooks on my shelf at home and I’ve seen him feature on many TV shows over the years and I’ve eaten at his Perth restaurant, Rockpool, a few times before. But this week I was […]

I’m lucky in my job that I get to meet some really lovely people and right up on that list are a wonderful pair of FX and commodity dealers that I know. Given that I knew I would have some time available on my Thursday in Sydney, I figured I would see if these two had […]

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 […]

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 […]
