Lola's GC

Winner winner chicken dinner! 

I am rejoicing for the newly opened joint- the Lola’s grilled chicken from the same legends that brought us the royAl’s chicken and burger. They are anything but an ordinary grilled chicken. Capturing the essence of their Filipino background (the Craigie Brothers and Mama Estrella’s collaboration and tribute to “Lola”, meaning grandmother in Tagalog), they serve chicken as Classic Grilled Inasal (to be grilled/barbequed, popular staple at every Filipino BBQ or festivals), Chipotle in Adobo (for spicy lovers) or Lola’s special (incorporating Banana Ketchup as the main ingredient). Their menu is simple yet mouthwatering- think Garlic fried rice (AMAZING), adobo chili mayo and royAl’s cheese burger spring rolls!
The décor comprises of a giant painting on the wall which reminds of Philippines with its bright and bold summer colours- immediately immersing customers with a happy atmosphere. The smell of the grill takes us right to streets of Philippines where we imagine the hot grills filled with chicken bbq.  If anything is same from their other successful business, they remain friendly, thoughtful and generous -in providing diners with sauces from banana ketchup (yes it is huge in Philippines!) to house made calamansi soy sauce in abundance. Plus they do bottomless iced tea – hooray!
The team behind this restaurant is all about serving soul foods and doing it well and this time it’s all about celebrating the chicken Filipino style. If you are an indecisive foodie like myself, you will be glad to know that they do half the job for us – there are only few dishes to choose from and the only difficult job will be to decide what size of chicken you want. Phew!

Thaitation

Thailand cuisine is a favourite cuisine for many including myself. Thaitation hasn’t been around for long but it has certainly made itself known in the Floreat Forum block. It’s a small restaurant with an inviting alfresco dining area. And you can expect full bookings on busy Friday and weekend nights. Upon entering, you instantly hear the chefs in the kitchen speaking in Thai, knockings of woks in the background and you are hit with smell of fish sauce and coconut milk. You see tanks of fish oil and coconut milk stacked up on the kitchen bench. They offer authentic yet modern flavours. If you were having difficulty finding a reasonably priced Thai restaurant, Thaitation has hit the spot in terms of pricing and flavours! They offer seasonal menus (Think seafood in coconut broth served in a whole coconut), as well as crowd favourites including pad Thai, tom yum and chilli crispy chicken.

Soul food

Foodies will probably agree- the most frequently asked question we get is: " Can you recommend me a good food place/restaurant? " It's definitely a part of the job (or a serious hobby in my case) requirement to answer this question. Most of the time I'm reluctant to tell people anywhere in particular because: 1) everyone's taste buds are different, 2) there are so many restaurants, it is hard to pick just one or two! 3) I don't want to tell anyone about my secret place sometimes hahah. But today, I wanted to share some of my favourite places to eat out in Perth. Again, I want to emphasise that I wasn't sponsored in any way to eat at these places and that it is my personal taste. I recommend everyone to try food for themselves and make judgements for themselves. My soul food is pizza as all of my close friends and family are very much aware of this. Some of the best pizzas I have tried in Perth are  Canteen Pizza in Cottesloe, L'a...
