Do not judge a book by it’s cover

Walk­ing down James street return­ing from a team lunch last week, I noticed a menu in a win­dow stat­ing Malay­sian Food, not know­ing there was even a res­taur­ant there, I noted noth­ing other than the loc­a­tion vow­ing to return later as I really enjoy good malay­sian food.

On return I found a little non­des­cript cafe in front of a com­bin­a­tion pool hall/karaoke space. Not deterred, I checked the menu on the win­dow out, it was rather long and had all the usual malaysian/singaporean food I adore #8230;

After the Singa­por­ean Style Fish epis­ode, I decided to return to Hoka Res­taur­ant to see if there was some­thing on the menu that excited my taste buds. I ordered as I was get­ting seated and two minutes later, a reg­u­lar Chilli Chicken and rice was on my table. Chilli Chicken con­sisted of chicken, cap­sicum, baby sweetcorn, […]

Last time I vis­ited Ray’s Kit­chen, I was dis­ap­poin­ted. I returned as a hungry cyc­list look­ing to con­sume a roti or two. I pre­vi­ously enjoyed roti from Mak’s Place, before it changed hands and became Ray’s Kit­chen and on my last visit here the roti served on the next table looked and smelt great.

I was won­der­ing down Wil­liam Street, one lunch­time won­der­ing what to eat, when I spot­ted Hoka’s lunch time spe­cial list which included Singa­por­ean Style Fish & Rice. Intrigued, as I never heard of Singa­por­ean Style Fish before, I walked in as a hungry cyc­list and ordered a large Singa­por­ean Style Fish & Rice for $10.

Sometimes I don’t realise I lucky I am

I had to head to West Perth for an appoint­ment and took the oppor­tun­ity to catch up with a couple of friends for lunch. The eat­ing estab­lish­ment of choice was Tim’s Thai, which soun­ded ideal for a change in cuisine as I have yet to find a Thai res­taur­ant in North­bridge I enjoy eat­ing at.

The lunch­time menu, was typ­ical gen­eric south east asian noodle house. …

Ray’s Kit­chen has taken over from Maks Place on Wil­liam Street. Still has the same sig­nage, same tired decor, and an almost identical menu of Malaysian/Singaporean hawker dishes. While I ate spar­ingly at Maks Place, I really enjoyed their Roti and Mur­t­abak, but gen­er­ally found the noodle and rice dishes dis­ap­point­ing. So what did I order first time at Ray’s Kitchen …

Veget­able Biryani

Still recov­er­ing from a cold, I thought about try­ing to treat my taste buds to some subtle fla­vours for a few seconds, before decid­ing my taste buds need to taste real fla­vours and I made the trek up …

A windy and wet Octo­ber day, was a good excuse to enjoy my favour­ite winter meal, Raw Beef and Beef Ball Pho.

Hong Kong BBQ

There are only lim­ited options for lunch on Monday, so see­ing I was halfway down Fran­cis street, I might as well walk a little fur­ther to …
