I have meant to post this for the longest time……. slightly delayed. It was the last lunch GG and I had together before we became Mr and Mrs GG the next day 🙂 We decide that in amongst all the running around we had to do that taking five for a bite was the best […]

I was recently very fortunate to be asked along to The Aviary to try out their Lazy Sunday menu. I hadn’t actually heard too much about how Lazy Sundays worked, but I had a quick look on the website and found out that Lazy Sunday is held from 12pm – 4pm in the Bird Cage Restaurant and had […]

I don’t seem to buy nearly as many online vouchers these days as I initially did, but one caught my eye a while back, particularly given that it was so close to the office. The deal was for Ning Sushi House in Como and for the bargain price of $29 you were able to choo […]

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 […]

There’s no two ways about it, Joondalup isn’t that close to my house. I mean, ok, it’s not that far but it feels a bit out of the way, so when a place was recommended to GG by a nice, young fellow he works with that was in Joondalup I was a little dubious. But apparently it […]

There was a lot of running around to do on Saturday in the downhill slide to a particularly big day later in the year for GG and myself. So we applied ourselves to ticking a few boxes on the list of little jobs that actually seems to be getting longer than shorter at this stage. […]

Balthazar was one of those places I’ve wanted to go to for a long time and had just never gotten around to. It’s had a consistent reputation as a solid fine dining establishment for many moons now and I’ve long been keen to sample the food that warranted such longevity. The stars aligned and an […]

Another lunch outting with my office’s fellow foodie was well overdue. But where should we go? Well as fortune would have it I stumbled across a review by Gail Williams for a place in Applecross called Jacs. It sounded delightful – the thought of a lazy lunch underneath a canopy of jacaranda trees, more than […]

Many years ago I was introduced to the wonder of the Turkish Gözleme. A Gözleme is a savoury traditional Turkish hand made and hand rolled pastry. Fresh pastry is rolled out, filled and sealed, then cooked over a griddle. The name derives from the Turkish word göz meaning eye. One of my favourite places in […]

Back in late February I was reading the Fresh section of the West Australian and heard that a new addition to the Beaufort St strip was expected – El Publico (http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/lifestyle/a/-/lifestyle/12992400/holy-guacamole-it-s-the-real-deal/). I had sort of forgotten about it, but then I saw it mentioned on facebook the other day, then included in a few tweets […]
