Empire Pizzeria Review

Empire Pizzeria, Glendalough, WA Wow, what a great pizza. We only live a short distance from this place but it has taken two years for us to try it out. The vegetarian ‘Mona Lisa’ pizza was tempting, but we went for the  ’Antipasto’ to satisfy everyone – pepperoni, ham, mushroom, roast artichoke, feta, sundried tomatoes, kalamatas [...]

Fremantle Arts Centre Cafe Review

Fremantle Arts Centre Cafe, Fremantle What a surprise find! At the last minute we were looking for a place to have lunch in Fremantle, and came across this interesting cafe located in the Fremantle Arts Centre. The cafe is hidden away in the corner of the large building. We sat in the shady courtyard, but [...]

Tao Cafe Review

Tao Cafe, Innaloo We have been to the Tao Cafe in Innaloo a couple of times. The staff young but always efficient and friendly. The restaurant covers three nationalities, Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese, and surprisingly seems to do all of them well.  The restaurant is very family friendly, and provide regular table sitting, booths or you can sit [...]

Subi Spice Cafe Review

Subi Spice Cafe, Subiaco WA We went looking for the Spicy South restaurant in Subiaco, but found it was under new management and under a new name too – Subi Spice. Unfortunately they did not honour our Entertainment Book voucher, but their prices are apparently much cheaper than before anyway. The Subi Spice menu covers [...]

Harvest, Kyoto Review

Harvest, Kyoto An amazing buffet format restaurant in Kyoto station area that offers a large variety of Japanese food, with the aim of being healthy and natural using seasonal ingredients. A sign out the front says their philosophy is the “beauty comes from a healthy body”. And best of all it is all you can eat! We [...]

Ninniku Jip Review

Ninniku Jip, Victoria Park We heard about Ninniku Jip because of the children’s playground inside, a reason to go there with my kids in itself. We have also recently been to Japan, so were interested in eating more of that cuisine back home. The large sushi selection was a great place to start for our [...]

Coliseum Cafe Review

Coliseum Café and Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia The Coliseum Café and Hotel is a  historical landmark in Kuala Lumpur. We went for a evening drink and sat beneath the fans on a balmy night and felt like we had been transported back in time. It is well worth a visit to experience what Kuala Lumpur may have [...]

Jewel of the North Review

Jewel of the North, Batu Ferringhi, Penang Malaysia Possibly serving up the best North Indian cuisine on the island of Penang, the Jewel of the North opened its doors in 1993 as one of the original restaurants in the area. Although the restaurant  specializes in North Indian cuisine, they have a variety of international dishes too. In actual fact [...]

Karaikudi Restaurant Review

Karaikudi Restaurant, Little India, George Town, Penang, Malaysia Located in the famous Little India area in Penang, serving north and south Indian cuisine. This air conditioned restaurant will be a welcome relief from the heat of the streets of Penang. The waiters were very friendly (it helped when there were more wait staff than customers!) and [...]

Jaws Sushi Train Review

Jaws Sushi Restuarant, Perth City The Jaws Sushi Restaurant is located in the Hay Street Mall in Perth, Western Australia, and has been around for a long time. It can get very busy with the lunch time work crowd, so avoid the rush hour if you can. There are not a lot of sushi train restaurants around [...]

Old China Cafe Review

Old China Cafe, Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia This is a charming restaurant decorated in the original style of the 1930s, specializing in Nyonya cuisine. It may be hard to find in the backstreets of chinatown, but worth the effort. The premises is actually the old guild hall of the Selangor & Federal Territory Laundry Association, [...]

Chelsea Pizza Co. Review

Chelsea Pizza Co., Nedlands WA Chelsea Pizza has been around since 1972, and is long established as a great feed. It is located on the busy Stirling Highway. They sell a few salads and pasta meals, but it is the pizza you should be coming for. They provide a good selection of pizzas, not just [...]

Tree Monkey @ the Tropical Spice Garden, Penang Malaysia The Tree Monkey Restaurant is located in the grounds of the Tropical Spice Garden, just north of Batu Ferringhi on the Malaysian Island of Penang.

Perth City Farm Cafe Review

City Farm Cafe, Perth Western Australia The Perth City Farm has been around for a while, though the cafe on site has only recently been added. The cafe is run by volunteers, but you woul dnot know that by the quality of the menu. There is a focus on fresh food, all prepared daily, and [...]

Tamarind Mt Hawthorn Review

Tamarind, Mount Hawthorn The Tamarind is a good tasting and reasonably priced restaurant and take away located on Scarborough Beach Road in Mount Hawthorn. The restaurant is promoted as serving Cambodian food, though you will find familiar Thai, Malaysian and Chinese dishes on the menu too. We used our Entertainment Card to get a discount, [...]

Acapulco Annie’s Mexican Restaurant and Cantina Review

Acapulco Annie’s Mexican Restaurant and Cantina Acapulco Annie’s has been on the Perth restaurant scene since 1980. From the decor at the Tuart Hill restaurant, not a lot has changed in that time. When we went there in October 2010. The Chimichanga looked good, though we tried the sizzling plate of Fajitas (not enough tortillas) [...]

Leapfrogs Cafe Review

Leapfrogs Cafe in Wanneroo, WA The Leapfrogs Cafe is set in the Wanneroo Botanic Garden, with a casual alfresco ambience. Tables are available inside and out. The menu includes a good selection of dishes, though prices seem a little high for a cafe in the sticks. We had a lamb kofta burger, served on a [...]

Ocean Dragon Chinese Restaurant Review

Ocean Dragon Chinese Restaurant in Waterman Rarely do you find such a good view from a Chinese Restaurant. This place is located above the Fig Cafe and across the road from the beach, and from the second story window there are great views along the coast. Make sure you come early enough to take advantage [...]
