As it turned out our hotel in Sydney was in the perfect location and only a short walk away from Darling Harbour so on our first evening in the fair city we headed that way to find somewhere to eat. After a lap each side we finally settled on Toros, a tapas restaurant overlooking the […]
Latest Foodie Adventures
Hippo Creek – Subiaco
Hippo Creek is one of those places that I’ve heard a lot of praise from meat-lovers for. Steak probably isn’t my number one meal choice, but I am partial to a nice steak on the odd occasion. So when given the opportunity to pick a place for dinner for a visiting banker I thought that […]
Lime Cafe
I have worked in West Perth for over 5 years now so I’ve been to most places down Hay Street for lunch at one stage or another. At the end of the food court on a recent visit I found a relatively new café that I hadn’t been to before – Lime Cafe. And I […]
Pranzo
Salads are lovely during Summer. Nice and fresh. This one came from Pranzo in West Perth and was basically half cous cous, baby spinach and vinaigrette salad and the other half was a pesto pasta salad. For $7.50 it was a very generous serve which I struggled to finish. The flavours were fairly decent, but […]
Fujimore – Hay Street Food Court, West Perth
I caught up with some past work colleagues the other day for lunch and we figured the easiest option to keep everyone happy would be to visit the food court. Something for everyone! The majority of us however found ourselves in the line at Fujimore, which is the Japanese option. Two people went for […]
Prawn Risotto
I really enjoy risotto. It’s a fairly simple dish to make and just super tasty! One Saturday afternoon I decided I would try my luck with a prawn and courgette risotto. I’d made it a few times before and thought I’d use this opportunity to work on my timing, just in terms of how quickly […]
Riverbank Estate – Jazz picnic
It can be nice to get outside of the box sometimes, colour outside the lines, see if the grass is greener on the other side, etc, etc. My foray into something different was heading along to one of my favourite Swan Valley haunts – RiverBank Estate – for their Jazz Picnic. By a turn of events […]
The Loose Box
I love good food. Heading out for a nice meal with GG is one of my most favourite things. Particularly the indulgence of a degustation menu….. even more so with matched wines. Oh the delight of it all. Carefully matched flavours, sometimes sounding out of place on a menu but when sampled a complete taste […]
Odin Tavern
It was a Thursday night and we didn’t particularly feel like cooking dinner so after a quick flick through the Entertainment Book we came across the Odin Tavern. Conveniently not too far from home and also a buy one mains get one free, so worth giving it a go. Wasn’t a problem getting a table […]
Scallops and Stone Fruit
Spending a Saturday afternoon cooking is a delightful indulgence. Given the season I decided to embrace stone fruits in my recipes….. with the key ingredient being scallops. Sort of like an Iron Chef challenge. First up I worked on a recipe that I have done previously with mangoes, but replaced it with nectarines. Basically slice […]
Perth Munchkin
I love Perth and I love food. So many amazing places to visit.
These are just my thoughts on the different places I've visited.... plus an occasional recipes.
My blog is my creative outlet. It's fun and it's a wonderful excuse to eat out every now and then :)
