My cookbook collection has grown over the years with most sitting on my bookshelf collecting dust. I tend to google…
Going out in the evenings have been limited of late with junior burger. Tuesday night was one of those rare occasions where I headed out I was invited to the opening night of Potted Potter at the State Theatre and took my friend Mahara who is a huge Harry Potter fan. She’s read all 7 books so I…
It has only been in the last six years that we’ve been spoilt by my Chinese mum’s amazing cooking. When my brother and I were little my mum juggled three jobs and then in our teenage/early 20s, she started her career in real estate which meant she had little time or interest to cook. My brother and I spent…
I pretty much use Continental French Onion Simmer Soup for everything except soup I love that it is an easy way to add flavour to whatever I’m cooking. My two fav dishes to make with Continental French Onion Simmer Soup is a Cream Cheese dip and my trusty Potato Bake. The French Onion Cream Cheese Dip is my…
I love my sweets and will always check out the dessert menu before deciding on mains and entrees. So with my new found time at home and in the kitchen I’ve been getting into my baking. When I was working full-time in the city, one of the girls in my department used to bring in the…
I’ve been home heaps recovering from the birth of junior burger and settling into our new lifestyle so my August / September Top Perth Eats are all about take-away foods. If you’ve been following me on facebook, twitter or instagram you’ll notice just after the birth of junior burger I was craving a whole lot of cold…
Since the arrival of junior burger I’ve gotten to know my kitchen very well! For those of you who follow my blog you’ll recall I was dining out 4 out of 7 nights with the “intent” of cooking more. Each year the goal to cook more was on my New Year’s Resolution list but as the year went…
I’m a firm believer that anyone can turn their dreams into a sustainable business with hard work and determination. So I was really excited to hear fellow Perth food blogger, Justin Blackford (aka The Skinny Perth), just launched Food Loose Tours, a Perth food walking tour. I met Justin a couple of years ago and remember thinking…

She’s been a foodie from Day 1, tracking three weeks ahead in size whilst I was pregnant and born just shy of 9 pounds three weeks ago. Being so focussed on our business and careers, burger boy and I had…
As a kid and to this day, Gelare’s waffles have been a constant craving. As a kid, I would have Gelare’s waffle cone (yep without the ice cream for 70c) after a Chinese banquet in Northbridge. As an uni student in my early 20s, half price Tuesday waffles and Utopia bubble tea became a bit of a tradition. Nowadays, it seems every…
My foodie cravings caricature is always a talking point when I meet someone new, mainly because it’s a splitting image of me in cartoon style. And it’s all thanks to my friend Joe Filocamo, The Artistic Engineer, who patiently redrew my caricature as I asked for a pink bangle, a funkier top and some colour to…
Before spring cleaning our house in preparation for the arrival of junior burger two weeks ago, we decided to go for our last brunch as a couple at The Ladder Cafe & Deli. We had been to The Ladder Cafe & Deli one time before and I featured their Goliath (which burger boy had this time) in my…
Having our own small business, it’s absolutely inspiring to meet those who are leading the WA food industry and constantly reinventing their business to meet the changing Perth trends/taste buds.

As usual I can’t get enough of my sweets and Asian food made a regular appearance last month. Top 5 Perth Eats #1 Dolcetto Patisserie & Cafe’s strawberry mascarpone semifreddo cheesecake ($40) - this was my lil…
Must Wine Bar is one of my favourite Perth restaurants to go to for special occasions as the food and service is always of a great quality. It’s one Perth restaurant I know I can always recommend, as I know that Russell Blaikie and his team will deliver the same dining experience each time (check out my 2012 Must Wine…
I’m so excited to share that my cousins Will and Ellen have just opened Perth’s very first Ben & Jerry’s ice cream scoop shop in Hillary’s Boat Harbour. You’ll find them just past Grill’d in between Boost Juice and Mad Mex. I went along to the family and friends pre-opening VIP night to taste some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream goodness…
burger boy and I were invited to the newish Sushi Wawa (opposite IKEA in Innaloo) to check out their sushi train late last month. We decided to go to Sushi Wawa after shopping for a chest of draws for junior burger. I was glad it was a casual dining experience as shopping with burger boy in IKEA wasn’t…
