Get those fedoras ready folks because the Colours of Cuba have arrived at Crown Perth! From now through to September 17th there’s a great range of Cuban dishes featuring at various Crown restaurants, some very snazzy Cuban cocktails at the bars, salsa nights on Wednesdays and plenty of exciting prizes too.  So if you are […]

I really enjoy cooking. It can be such a relaxing way to spend an afternoon, pottering around the kitchen, trying out a new recipe. And I don’t profess to be brilliant at it, but I very much like to try. And what do they say about practise? It makes perfect or something? So when Belmont […]

I love Perth. Just love it to bits. I’ve always lived here. It’s a place where we are spoilt with an abundance of sunshine and I feel quite passionate about the amazing local produce that we have available to enjoy each season. In part, that’s why I actually started my blog. It gets you in touch with fellow local […]

I’d never been to Joondalup Resort before but I was invited along a cheese dinner they were holding at their Bistro 38 Restaurant in partnership with Yarra Valley Dairy. And I was pretty excited because I am a long time appreciator of cheese 🙂 Set amongst lush emerald fairways and natural bushland at Joondalup Resort, Bistro 38 […]

When GG and I went to New York in 2012, one of my favourite memories is waking up on our first morning after the epic 24 hours of flying and making our way to Tom’s Restaurant for a proper American diner breakfast. For Seinfeld fans you’ll know that the Tom’s façade was Monks in the […]

Years ago GG and I decided we were an uber cultured pair and booked ourselves in for a night at the theatre to see Cyrano de Bergerac. Oh yes tres cultured! Only joking, but before we went to the show we went to the Globe Restaurant at the Parmelia Hilton for dinner. And I have […]

Winter had officially rolled into town on Tuesday night. It was freezing in Perth. I’d say definitely below 10 degrees and don’t get me started on the wind chill factor. Don’t get me started because a) I don’t really know much about it and b) in my expert opinion the wind chill factor was sub […]

I don’t often head out for sushi. I’ve been a few times before but truth be told I’m not a massive fan of sushi with the seaweed on the outside. I find it can have quite a strong flavour. But I know now from the few times I have been out for a sushi lunch […]

For as long as I can remember Rendezvous in Scarborough has always been there. It’s as synonymous to the suburb as the blue house once was. I have two great memories of what I suspect I’ll always refer to as ‘Observation City’ or Ob City actually because I’m an Aussie and if we can abbreviate, […]

I often debate which I love more, burgers or pizza. I think at the end of the day I know that my appreciation for them both is by and large equally placed. Any day of the week if the offer was out there for either I would lock it in. Now the pendulum swung towards […]
