So there you go, we toured Maylands and it had been a great night out! Three fabulous venues, just a short walk between them, too easy!

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, […]

In early March it was a long weekend in Perth. I so love long weekends! The divine loveliness of that extra day off – like a special bonus, where sleep ins are the order of the day 🙂 Now on the Sunday of the long weekend GG and I had headed along to Lamonts in […]

Only a short post here, but this is basically just an ode to the magic of Smoult’s Continental Deli’s basil pesto. I don’t know what magic ingredient they include in their recipe, but I swear it is addictive. Some beautiful bread (Toasted Turkish bread, fresh baguette, even a loaf of Tip Top would work) and […]

I grew up in Maylands. Loved it. Right near the river, a quick train ride to the city, all in all not a bad spot. I don’t live in Maylands any more, but in recent years it’s been so wonderful to see all the lovely little cafes and cute delis and bakeries pop up along […]

I grew up in Maylands. Lovely part of the world, right near the river. Back in the day there used to be a Chicken Treat on the corner of Seventh Ave and Guildford Road. Now we are taking many, many moons ago. I was still in primary school at this stage. Following on from this, […]

All these bargain voucher websites can be a wonderful thing….. until you sort of forget about one and it’s a mad rush to squeeze in a dinner before the expiry date. Such was my quandary recently with a Rifos voucher I had purchased. I had initially gifted it to my brother but he hadn’t had […]

So after lunch at Mrs S with my sister the other day, we decided we would extend our Maylands food safari and wandered around the corner to Sherbet. Sherbet has established a solid reputation for delicious cupcakes or if you are looking for something bigger, some very impressive looking cakes. We’d already eaten lunch, so it […]

I grew up in Maylands. It’s a lovely suburb, right near the river, close to the city and in recent times there’s been plenty of work done to trend’ify the Eighth Avenue cafe strip. One of the new additions that has developed a fab reputation for itself is right on the corner and it’s called […]

I thought it would be nice to spend some quality time one afternoon with my lovely mum, so we headed to Tranby House for their high tea. It was a whole bunch of food! The top tier was tasty pastries………. Followed by scones with delicious strawberry jam and cream And the bottom tier was finger […]
