Blue skies and sunshine. Winter in Perth is a tough gig. Sure the sun doesn’t have the same bite as in summer, but it still does a decent job of providing some warmth if you bask in its rays. GG and I visited Oakover Grounds recently, the rebranded and revamped Oakover Wines. I love the […]

When I heard that Chophouse was going to be opening in Perth I was excited. I’d been to the one in Sydney once before and had memories of it being a lovely night out, so it was welcome news that a west coast addition to this steak house eatery was on the way. GG loves […]

Last year Rendezvous in Scarborough underwent a massive refurb and the results are impressive! The rooms all had a modern facelift and the restaurant downstairs previously known as Pines became Straits Cafe. A change is as good as a holiday but along with the name change was a switch from weekend buffets to al a […]

Bigger is apparently better at Dianella burger joint Novembars. Quite the little gem. This burger spot was a fish and chip shop in a previous life and is in a fairly non-descript group of shops hidden away in suburbia. I’d read about it ages ago and I believe a cousin may have also told me […]

I fully appreciate the term ‘lucky country’ when GG and I take Chablis, our fearless Chihuahua to the dog beach on Sunday mornings in Summer. I live somewhere where my dog gets the most amazing stretch of coastline to sniff about and splash in the water. So very spoilt because Perth beaches are just spectacular. […]

When Perth turns on the sunshine, it is some kinda wonderful. It just makes you want to get outside and for me, I love the chance to lunch somewhere you can really soak up the Summer time magic. I enjoyed lunch at the Boulevard Hotel in Floreat recently and talk about ticking all the boxes for […]

When the first store opened in Northbridge earlier this year, folks flocked from far and wide to tuck into PappaRich’s famous Roti Canai and the long list of other delicious traditional Malaysian dishes. And it was with similar fanfare that the second store opened recently at Carousel. That’s right – two PappaRich’s in P-town! Aren’t […]

Let me start by saying that I don’t profess to be any sort of food expert. I enjoy different dishes from around the globe but perhaps some are slightly more familiar than others. Take Chinese for instance. I know there are dishes that I like and growing up there were definitely some firm take away favourites […]

I enjoy cooking. I’m no expert but I always try and bring two things with me to the kitchen – passion and enthusiasm – and I find with them in tow you are much more likely to have some culinary success. Now I have a reasonable cook book collection and let’s face it, the internet […]

It can be tricky business sometimes when you end up having a late lunch and know you have dinner plans, so you really need to curtail normal ordering habits. Such was the conundrum (and first world problem) I experienced on Saturday. GG and I had spent a few hours shopping in the big city and […]
