I’VE been meaning to try Goreng Goreng in Mt Lawley for a while, but every time I pass by the tiny eatery is packed to the gunnels. On Tuesday night I went there with the family a bit earlier and managed to secure a table for four by the window. The eatery is situated on…

It was the most boring Melbourne Cup in years. Even the name of the winning horse “Twilight Payment” was dull and sounded like a Tina Turner album from the 1980s. Thankfully when we arrived for dinner at RoyAl’s Chicken & Burgers, the small joint was pumping and I stopped feeling like Seabiscuit without a sugar…

THERE are many great dim sum and yum cha restaurants in Perth, but I rank Little China Girl as one of the best. It’s situated in a Roe Street building that used to be home to one of the city’s most popular chinese restaurants, Welcome Inn Tea House. The team behind Little China Girl, which…

LAST time I was in the Hyde Park Hotel I was wearing flares and humming the theme tune to M*A*S*H. Well it wasn’t quite that long ago, but it’s been many years, so I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel’s refurbishment which has brought it kicking and screaming into the 21st century. One of the…

LEEDERVILLE was pumping on Tuesday night with people jumping out of taxis and diving into eateries on the corner of Newcastle and Oxford Streets. It felt vibrant and happening with the tight streets, lush trees and glossy pubs reminding me of London. My reverie was abruptly ended when my young son stabbed my hand with…

Pinchos is Perth’s happy place. A few Sundays back we were lured to the Spanish tapas bar by its jovial clientele, who were sharing delectable dishes in the alfresco. We quickly waved down a waiter so we could join in the fun. The staff are just as cheery and attentive as the diners. Despite the…

EVERYTHING screamed fun about Little B in Mt Lawley. The funky photo menu, the downtown Bangkok theme, and the colourful website with cool 20-somethings and flashing graphics. Unfortunately when we arrived at the small Thai restaurant on Beaufort Street, it didn’t feel like much fun with mediocre service and a middling atmosphere. It all started when…

HAS covid-19 killed off Australia’s beloved sushi-train for good? There are serious concerns that buffet-style restaurants may never recover as we reassess our hygiene protocols in the wake of the pandemic. One local casualty is Jaws in East Perth – it’s had to temporarily close its dine-in area and sushi train, which was well…

IT WAS back to basics on Tuesday night with a humble burger and chips for dinner. As the world gets more complex and stranger by the day, it’s good to know that some of life’s simple pleasures are still intact. We opted for Meet and Bun in Mt Lawley; a relatively new addition to…

AFTER watching the excellent anglo-japanese crime thriller Giri/Haji on Netflix, I was inspired to go out for a Japanese meal. I was a bit on edge after watching the show, so before leaving the house I practised a middle-aged version of the “crane kick” from The Karate Kid. Thankfully there were no Yakuza lurking in…
