THE edamame were wonderfully creamy, but a bit messy to get out of the shell, unlike the crab which was the soft-shell variety, encased in batter and wonderfully crisp. The very helpful Japanese waiter was at a loss to translate what the bean-like edamame is, but Mr Google tells me they’re immature soya beans, picked…

FOOD stops were looked forward to for many reasons on a 20-hour bus trip from Sumatra to Bali, not the least the discovery of the food of West Java. The driver would pull in at warungs, small family shops that cooked up regional dishes that were familiar but different to Indonesian food elsewhere. The emphasis…

WE rocked up to Richies about the same time as another group, there to celebrate winning their five-aside soccer finals. The high school boys, old pals from Spearwood Alternative school, remained good mates, on the same team (the SAS) and were there with their parents for the two-for-$30 Monday night deal. Our party included D’Angerous…

A GIANT blue and yellow macaw mural looked down from the wall, flanked by a steam-punk inspired coffee vat, and everyone seemed to be speaking Italian. Pappagallo Cafe and Pizzeria in Leederville is a sharp cosmopolitan eatery that wouldn’t look out of place in Rome’s Piazza Navona. Pappagallo means parrot in Italian, and is co-owner…

WHEN I heard about a place called Gami Chicken & Beer I knew I already liked two of those three things. Turns out Gami, roughly translated from Korean, means “good delicious”, and the friend I was eating with had been there two nights in a row so I figured the name was on the mark.…

Divido opened its doors in 2005, offering Perth diners a casual Italian eating and drinking experience within a stylish and intimate venue. Divido’s menu represents a love of good, honest food, made with passion and skill. It draws influences from Italian regional peasant style cooking, including old family recipes. It’s the type of food that…

CHINESE tea growers shudder when Keith Archer adds milk to his tea on buying trips. “But it’s how I like it, so why not,” he says. Last year he imported a tonne of leaves and all of it was sold from his Maylands cafe, Chapels on Whatley, by the pot or to take home. Tea…

MUM was barely registering the demands of her three-year-old, but eventually said “you can have a biscuit in the car”. “Not again,” he groaned in disgust. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud, thinking “it’s dinner and a show” sitting outside Mamalilli in Maylands, as an assortment of young tackers piled out of a music…

Love the Mt Lawley cafe scene, but find the traffic and noise get a bit much sometimes? Then you’ve got to try Secondeli Cafe. Perched in a prime spot on the corner of Second Avenue and Beaufort Street, this buzzing little place offers the best of both worlds. It’s located close enough to still feel…
