THE Voice might have found a new contender for the best continental roll in Greater Perth. This food reviewer has had some crackers over the years (just ask my waistline) with Lo Presti & Son in East Fremantle and The Re Store in Leederville high up the list. But The Black Truffle could now be…

FIORENTINA Patisserie is celebrating a big birthday this year. It’s 50 years since the North Perth business was established and I don’t think they’ll have problems finding a cake to mark the special occasion. In fact, they might have difficulty choosing which one to scoff first. Half a century in business is no mean feat,…

WHEN I perused the menu at the Como Hotel and saw the “Doggies” section, I had a flashback to Trump’s bizarre rant about Haitian immigrants in Ohio eating pets. Thankfully the Como isn’t serving up Poodle Parmis, Bulldog Burgers or Loaded Chihuahua Fries, it’s actually providing free dog snacks and bowls of water for customers’…

I HATE when “street food” is gentrified and fancy restaurants charge more than $30 for basic wok dishes. It’s not only a rip-off but a betrayal of the simple but delicious flavours synonymous with Asian “fast food”. That’s why I like Oxford Noodles – there’s no pretension and most of the dishes are under $20,…

I WAS loitering outside an erotic massage parlour in West Leederville in broad daylight. Not the best look for a middle-aged man on a Tuesday morning at 11:30am. But there was mitigating circumstances – I was trying to find Goods Bakery and got lost. Turns out the bakery is a few doors down from the…

MR Oro is the sushi equivalent of Led Zeppelin. A hedonistic and over-the-top cacophony of flavours that batters your tastebuds into glorious submission. Expect to taste bacon, cream cheese, black pepper sauce and wonton chips in their giant, decadent sushi wheels. The names match the bold flavours with Crunchy Spider, EL’Mexican and Sweet-Chilli Philly all…

THIS North Perth butcher shop has a great pedigree. Originally M Princi Butchers, it was owned by Michele Princi who emigrated from Italy to Perth in the 1970s. The Princis clearly know a thing or two about meat with eleven generations of butchers in the family. After more than five decades in the trade, Michele…

WHY was I getting weird looks from folk in Leederville? Checked my zipper – no. Checked for food on my face – no. I think it’s because I had my young kids with me on Tuesday morning and people thought they should be learning math instead of eating salami and drinking full-fat Coke. It transpired…

THE local fishmonger is a bit of a dying breed these days. People are buying their fish at supermarkets or at larger fish market-style stores, forcing the tiny high street trader to pull down their shutters. But there are a few small ones left, including the family-run Angelo’s Seafood in South Perth. It’s situated in…

IT was an eerie portent of things to come. During my dinner at Chakra in Inglewood, I was deep in discussion about Donald Trump with my American friend Lawrence, who gave me an interesting insight into rural life in the US, voting patterns, and whether he preferred Big Macs or Whoppers. The next morning, slightly…
