THERE’S no class division at “Harry’s” place where you’ll find suited business types, trendy young workers and middle-aged matrons rubbing shoulders with the down-at-heel, students and backpackers. It’s really Govindas, but was dubbed ‘arry’s by D’Angerous Dave some years ago because it’s a Hare Krishna restaurant and he could never remember the correct name. On…

Chapels on Whatley by JENNY D’ANGER ASIAN fusion is a modern interpretation of Asian food—which is not what Chapels on Whatley does, I was told sternly. Nope, Chapels showcases the amazing diversity of the many and varied cultures across Asia, ranging from China to Vietnam and a swag in between—with more than a nod to…

INGLEWOOD HOTEL, Mount Lawley by JENNY D’ANGER: SACRE bleu, it was Bastille Day and snails were off the lunch menu because they were late arriving—they are such slow little buggers. Maybe they should have hitched a ride with those speedy Tour de France blokes, who can never be accused of travelling at a snail’s pace.…

WHILE I was admiring the vibrancy of Astor Arcade, where seating from Cantina 663 cafe spills out into the shopping mall with its many cute boutiques, my mate was getting hot under the collar about banquettes. “Banquette?” I asked, puzzled by the word and her enthusiasm. A banquette is the walkway of a castle rampart,…

GLORIOUS winter sunshine poured down upon us as hippies and city suits mingled to enjoy the green ambience and great food at City Farm. Sitting amid beds of basil, parsley and other herbs, coats and scarves were shed and it was thyme to check out the food in the cabinet. A massive tuna patty looked…

RED CRAY ON BEAUFORT, Mount Lawley: If there is one thing brothers Gurpreet and Jagdave Singh know how to deliver, it is exceptional seafood. For 10 years, their fabulously popular Red Cray restaurant in Belmont has been a finalist or winner of multiple awards. In April 2013, the brothers expanded their seafood empire, opening Red…

ROYAL CAMBODIAN, East Perth by JENNY D’ANGER: DAYDREAMING of the bone-melting heat of the tropics and the noise and pulse of a town on the Mekong, was preferable to the miserable scene outside our window: rain slashed down, partially obscuring the water of Claisebrook Cove, and a cold wind howled.
