IF my recent dining experience in Perth is anything to go by, the inner-city restaurant scene is bouncing back following months of uncertainty. I tried to get a table at three different restaurants and they were all fully booked – a great sign for the local hospitality industry, but annoying for me. I was catching…

THANK God for Catholicism. On Monday my wife had some obscure religious holiday which meant we could nip up to Perth for lunch. We decided to try Apple Daily Bar and Eating House, a renowned Asian fusion joint in the Print Hall on St Georges Terrace. The interior was very plush with lots of burnished…

MY love affair with hot dogs started when I was an exchange student in Denmark, Europe. The streets were littered with small huts, where vendors sold a mind-boggling range of hotdogs like ristet (ketchup, mustard, remoulade, onions and pickled cucumbers) and fransk (hollowed baguette filled with mayo-based French dressing). Since Denmark it’s been a bit…

I DON’T often venture outside The Voice universe for a food review, but I made an exception for Solo Pizza in South Perth. I used to live a few streets away from the pizzeria and absolutely loved it – in my books it did the most authentic pizzas in Perth with ultra-thin bases and the perfect…

ROYAL STREET in East Perth resembled a ghost town on Tuesday night. Virtually everything was closed, and the neon lights in the distance cast an eerie glow over the deserted Claisebrook Cove. Thankfully Fuku Sushi was a culinary beacon, and I headed towards its glowing sign like a slightly overweight moth. I last visited the eatery…

I WAS sober as a judge, but felt like eating a kebab. It’s a strange new sensation that’s coincided with middle-age and one I’m embracing, so I whisked the family up to Antep Mangal in Mt Lawley for a Tuesday night feed. When we arrived the small eatery was packed, with a large Turkish family holding a…

GODZILLA was literally breathing down my neck when I went for lunch at Mr Oro Sushi on Sunday. Thankfully he was just a giant mural on the restaurant wall, and I didn’t have to summon Rodan to fight my corner (he was one of Godzilla’s arch enemies who, ach, it doesn’t matter…) The small Mt…

As my wife drove through Perth CBD, I looked out the car window and saw a 1000ft statue of Basil Zempilas looming over the city. Perched on his chest was Steve Mills, rubbing brasso into Basil’s bronze nipples and mayoral chains. “No,” I mumbled as we pulled into the Inglewood Hotel car park. “It can’t…

AS we stare down a financial apocalypse, most of us will be looking for good value when eating out. I spotted some great mid-week deals at The Oxford Hotel, so I decided to take the family up to Leederville for a Tuesday night feed. The Oxford had an al carte menu with a decent range…

AS my family and I got out of the car in Mt Lawley, the heavens opened and we got absolutely drenched. We quickly scampered into Beaux Lane and took refuge under a dripping gutter. “We’re soaked through; we’re freezing,” complained the kids. Having been brought up in Scotland, I was non-plussed. “It’s just a shower…
