LAST day of the school holidays. After eight weeks of ice cream, beach and video games, it felt like the Fall of Saigon in my house with Bamm-Bamm and Pebbles desperately needing to get back into some kind of routine. But before they were hoisted onto the roof and bundled into the Catholic chopper,…

MONDAY lunchtime. Sun hotter than the inside of a party pie. Inglewood quieter than Michael Clarke’s endorsement team. My strange experiment in psychogeography – wandering around Perth suburbs to get a true feel for their history, culture and social origins – ended at Mori Japanese Kitchen. Tucked away in the corner of Inglewood Town Square,…

I wonder if Ragnar comes back from the dead?” asked my wife as we drove to Inglewood. She’s become hooked on Vikings over the festive break – binge-watching the first three seasons in as many days. I’ve done my bit to jump on the pagan bandwagon – trading in my Holden Astra for a longboat, eating…

ARE you on a diet yet? If like this plump Chook you seriously over-indulged during the festive period, then going out for a big meal is probably low on your list of priorities right now. So instead of a five-course feast, the Voice decided to kick off the new year with a light lunch at…

From the deep-fried to the delicious, low-cost to special occasion, the Voice food reviews had a bit of everything this year. Here’s a round-up of some notable eateries we visited (not necessarily the best or most sophisticated cuisine, but places that left an impression on this slightly over-weight, misanthropic foodie).

DID Darth Vader have to remove his helmet every time he wanted to eat a snack? Maybe there was a little flap on his visor he could lift up and shovel in the Brussels sprouts on Christmas Day. That was one of the many questions I fielded from my young son “Bamm-Bamm” while driving up…

DOES the world need another burger bar? It’s a philosophical question Plato might ponder if he was still alive, along with ‘Did Today Tonight actually exist or was it just shadows flitting across a cave wall?’ I’m a bit of a Fred Flintstone in the pro-burger camp, so I grabbed my club, leopard-skin jeans and…

IS convenience a euphemism for poor quality? Maybe in some quarters, but a lot of eateries are now managing to strike the balance between good quality food and everyday affordability. Under that category I would file Sushi Izu, which in 2011 brokered a deal with Woolworths to have outlets in their stores. I can picture…

THE Voice’s search for the best continental roll in Perth took an unexpected meatball twist in Inglewood this week. We had heard great reports about Deli’s Continental – situated beside Woolworths on Beaufort Street – so we jumpstarted the Voice jalopy and headed up there to investigate. A small but stylish shop-front with a pavement…

THE Voice’s unofficial Jewish food tour continued with a trip to Satchmo Cafe in North Perth. Situated on the corner of Forrest and Fitzgerald Streets, the cafe is opposite North Perth Plaza on a busy little stretch with lots of traffic and pedestrians. Peering through the cafe’s large bay window on a hot day, I…
