We have been spoilt with what one could argue is more than our fair share of quite pleasant winter weather in Perth this year. Sure there’s been rain and a few storms that haven’t been entirely pleasant, but by some stroke of luck there’s been more than a few weekends in there when the sun […]

Many moons ago…. And we’ll say back in the day when I was spending the majority of my days in the Physics Department at Curtin, a good friend of mine and I used to be particularly partial to the gnocchi sorrentino from Siena’s in Mt Lawley. I had fond memories of our visits there over […]

As my food blogger alter ego, Perth Munchkin, every now and then I get emails with invitations to do cool food related things. I’m very spoilt and feel very fortunate that a few folks read my foodie musings. An email I received the other week was from a lovely lady who had recently started up […]

It had been a while, but I had a Scoopon Voucher it need of some using! The added bonus of this was that when the day before the Easter break rolled around, I just wasn’t that up for cooking – already in the mini holiday spirit I suppose. So I gave the Northwood Ale House […]

I’ve been at my new job now for nearly four months. Geeze time goes fast. And I’ve been lucky to find a fellow foodie in my office – the lovely She-ra. We had headed to visit Ohnamiya one day (http://atomic-temporary-19383105.wpcomstaging.com/2011/12/20/ohnamiya/) and when I saw a voucher on deals.com.au for a cafe just down the road […]

I went to a send off dinner for GG’s aunty and uncle earlier this year and while we were there his niece Lil J had asked if we’d ever tried Pasta Cup. We hadn’t but as it would happen, I had recently purchased a Scoopon Voucher for a dinner at Pasta Cup. The deal included […]

I was well overdue for a good chat with bestie, Mrs M, so we lined up a dinner to remedy this obvious oversight. She suggested a local Italian restaurant in Inglewood that was one of her new favourites – Il Pasto. Looking at where this place was on the map I realised I had been […]

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside…. Beside it….. not so much in it Never been a huge beach person….. but it is delightful to lunch in view of the ocean. And such an opportunity presented when I bought myself a voucher to the Beach Shack Café in Sorrento, way back when, and […]

I went to pick GG up from his friend’s house the other week after he had spent the day with his work crew in the Swan Valley for their Christmas party. His friend’s house was in Landsdale and when he arrived another couple there had mentioned they were headed to a local restaurant for dinner. […]

I was very lucky the other week and with thanks to http://www.tweetperth.com.au won a seat for myself and GG at the @tweetperth table at the re-opening night of Outback Jacks in Northbridge. I’d enjoy my last (and first) visit to OBJs in Rockingham recently (http://atomic-temporary-19383105.wpcomstaging.com/2011/07/31/outback-jacks-rockingham/). Good steaks, friendly service and perfect for families. So it […]
