THE menu at Red Chilli Sichuan isn’t for the faint-hearted, and not just because it’s the size of a telephone book. With dishes like pickled chicken feet, pork intestines, jelly fish and sliced beef tongue with tripe, you know this Northbridge restaurant is authentic as it gets. If I was braver I may have tried…

WITH only a giant packet of spinach in the fridge, the prospect of a hot pizza on a cold Monday night was too good to resist. Ischia’s a newcomer to Beaufort Street, occupying what had been Siena’s for as long as I can remember. The restaurant’s layout is undergoing a few changes, but the food…

THE quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog,” comes to mind every time I see an old fashioned typewriter. My girls-only class in high school was deemed typing-pool fodder and we hammered out the sentence repeatedly to improve our speed. Two of the old green machines stared back at me from the top of…

MY eastern states visitor came back from a jaunt to Leederville raving about Nood Cafe, so I figured I should check it out for myself. My friend loved the chicken nasi goreng ($15) and was impressed with the cauliflower “rice”, and the house-made peanut sauce and spicy kimchi. Her vegetarian granddaughter was very happy with…

PAULINE HANSON’S latest thought bubble of shunting autistic kids into “special” classes earned a dunce’s hat, but I still feel bad for the Paddo after its shin-kicking from supposed friends for hosting a meet-and-greet with the controversial Queensland senator in March. Talk about shooting the messenger. There’s a disturbing trend in modern ‘debate’ of shouting…

Don’t think for one second that fish’d is your average ‘chippy’. Beaufort Street’s newest eatery is bringing Fish n Chips into the twenty-first century with its fresh, clean, modern seafood restaurant right in the heart of one of Perth’s most popular strips. With full view of an open kitchen, diners can watch fully qualified chefs prepare gourmet meals with fresh produce, most of which is…

TUCKED away out the back of the Mezz, Academy seems to have struggled to nail down the experience you get at it’s Claremont counterpart. But I’m happy to say that at a recent outing, the cafe seems to have lifted its game and is now a worthy replacement for the much-loved Peasant’s Table. The staff…

Rising out of the Tyrrhenian Sea at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples lies the volcanic island of Ischia (pronounced ISS-key-ah). With its warm Mediterranean climate and fertile volcanic soil, the island provides a rich bounty of quality produce year-round, including some of Italy’s highest quality wines. Hailing from Ischia are the Conte…

THE empty plate looked as forlorn as I felt and like Oliver Twist I was thinking, “I want more please”. It wasn’t that I was hungry, but rather that the roast marinated field mushrooms ($21) were magnificent. The chunky slice of toast was laden with mushrooms, rocket, capsicum, cucumber and hazelnuts. There was an almost…

THE name of this Northbridge eatery became apparent the minute we stepped inside—the gloom swirling with dark figures and brooding shadows. The trendy black-on-black decor at the Shadow Wine Bar is sure to appeal to its groovy-hipster demographic. Fortunately a single light burned over a booth table, otherwise my dinner companion and I would have…
