hotdogs for breakfast

So many times I have ​stopped by Smoult's Continental Deli for breakfast hotdogs.  Who wouldn't want to smack their lips around a wagyu beef, pork n fennel or duck n veal combo cuddled by a bouncy, fresh bun in the comfort of their own home.  Topped with grilled onions, El Asador's chimichurri, jalapeños and whatever sauce takes your fancy.  A $6.50 slice of heaven.  

The deli itself is a gourmand's heaven. The shelves heaving with providore from local heroes and goodies from far far away.  Their wire cut cheese offerings are those only found off the beaten track and their cold meat selection outstanding.  It is the perfect place to drop by when having to bring a plate ​or planning on spending a night in over fine wine and a cheeseboard.

holiday

​No stress, no phones and no emails.  The only thing to stress about is where to have your next meal.  

the real experts

I was just a little bit freaking excited when I saw this in a bookstore in Hong Kong.  Where Chefs Eat is full of hidden treasures shared by people you actually care about.  

Noodles

After 8 exhausting days at ThermoFest, the novelty of ordering food within the hotel certainly wears off.  We just wanted something simple, tasty with some kick as our last lunch in the ops rooms.  Hot and spicy noodle soup at the InterContinental Hong Kong did the trick.​

it's love

There is nothing sweeter than seeing two who are blissfully in love become one.  So happy for you both, Hayleigh and Stephen xo

being good

ribs for breakfast

Um yes please. You can find these bad boys served up for breky at Miss Kitty's Saloon.   

Fries / Burger by Levins

I found these on my iPhone from 'Diner' launch feat Levins & Tick Tock Farewell Party at The Bird from last Spring.  Chilli fries and burger by Mr Andrew Levins himself.  

Law and Order: Culinary Intent

That sunny Spring afternoon of 16 Sept 2012 holds many fond memories.  Known to some as Tick Tock's last supper.  May he rest in disco peace.  To others, Mr Levins' launch partay for his awesome cookbook 'Diner' (which I love).  And to me ... the first time and hopefully not the last time I satisfied my tummy with Gracey's cooking.   From time to time Miss Ophelia pops up at The Bird with Law and Order: Culinary Intent.   Best name, best lady, mean corn dogs.

Hand me the chicken wings please.​

Miss Kitty's Saloon

Miss Kitty's Saloon draws inspiration from the wild wild west serving up delights such as sticky tamarind ribs, frickles (yes .. fried pickles), devilled eggs and crunchy delicious fried chicken bits on a waffle bed.   And that is just for breakfast!  

The saloon is swiftly drawing enough cowboys to keep it rammed all week long so be sure to book.  The perfect place for well priced, tasty food with a Canadian twang or a drink after work.   ​

YELP GARDEN PARTY

Less than a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting Laura Dew of Yelp.  We sat down at Five Bar and over coffee chatted for what felt like hours instantly becoming friends.   Over the year I have been lucky enough to have Laura in my life in both a personal and professional level.  Warm, caring, friendly and full of life ... after a 5 minute conversation you just cannot help but love her whilst Yelping your life away.  

Saturday, 13 April sees Perth's First Yelper Party kick off at Perth City Farm for Yelp's
Garden Party.  Yelper's will be snacking on delectable creations of some of Perth's finest - El Publico, Smoult's Continental Deli, Red Hot Spatula, Delish Ice, Bahen & Co Chocolate and Top The Cupcake.

It was with sadness that I declined my invitation as special someones in my life are tying the knot.  I cannot wait to see all the floral photos flow through my newsfeed tomorrow. Have fun Yelpers!  

EAT | TIAN TIAN HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE (Singapore)

​Finding the best chicken rice in Singapore was pretty high on the agenda.   Just before I left for Singapore I asked the twitterverse where to eat.  My good friend Abstract Matt just said "Everywhere! and Tian Tian for chicken rice".   To avoid the "whaaaat you didn't go there you idiot" that would have ensued upon my return, it was the first hawker stop on the chicken rice hunt. 
​
We ordered a whole chicken and four serves of soup and rice. The chicken was succulent and white with a deliciously thick layer of gelatinous skin.  Served with tasty rice and an addictive lime chilli sauce.  Hands down best chicken rice ever.  I wish we had eaten here more than once!
