It was a solid way to kick off a week. Monday night was my first ever Chinese New Year celebration as I headed along to the Dragon Palace in Northbridge to partake in a Lunar New Year Banquet. It was also my debut visit to Dragon Palace and what a massive venue it is! It […]
Latest Foodie Adventures
Ploy Thai
Ploy Thai has been part of the Eighth Avenue, Maylands scenery for a while now. It became a favourite of many locals as soon as the owners made the move from their previous home in Subiaco and have been pulling consistent crowds ever since. It’s a fairly inconspicuous restaurant, melding in with the other cafes, […]
Plum and Chinese Five Spice Pork Summer Salad
