Brotzeit Berkshire

Introducing Berkshire Pork from Hamlet- the 'wagyu' of the pork world. Almdudler: German soft drink Still the place to go to for meat feast, German bier and Oktoberfest, Brotzeit is located inside 140 Perth arcade. We tried out their new menu ' Berkshire Pork Platter ' which offers a starter, sides and the main platter. First up! German pretzels- dark brown, crispy (but not dry), salty crust and inside a soft plump dough. 😍 Those butter on the platter is there for a reason, so rip the knots apart and dip them into butter! Warm pretzel with salted butter   The sides were spicy wedges and shoestring fries with spices. I love my potato wedges especially with sweet chili and sour cream but they had ketchup and mayo instead - that could be a German thing, cooking or dipping a lot of things in mayo or curry-ketchup/ketchup. 😂 Regardless, those fries were seasoned perfectly, crispy and the most delicious shoestring fries I've tried in Perth

Here is my long overdue rave about my favourite ramen place in Perth, Ramen Keisuke Takeda inside the Melbourne Hotel. Seats by the service area Chef at work on the launch day in Perth ALL about Melbourne Hotel precinct  Chef Keisuke Takeda was crowned the Ramen King at the 2011 Tokyo Ramen Championships, an annual competition between 30,000 ramen chefs. He sells nearly 10K bowls a day across all of his stores around the world. Chef teaches us the politeness is to 'slurp' the noodles at ramen restaurants He has chosen Perth as his first Keisuke ramen bar to land in Australia and I love it when restaurants only do what they do best. And your choice is limited to three options from the menu. Yes, the only food on offer here at Keisuke is ramen. Moreover, he generously offers free serves of boiled eggs (not too hard) and flavoured/marinated bean shoots (delicious!) which you can even use to adjust the broth to your taste. Free flow of boiled eggs o

Meet Harry at QV1

QV1 plaza aims to bring people together and create an unexpected environment for people to drink, dine and dwell.  The name Harry ATM at QV1 Plaza comes from Harry Seidler, an internationally renowned modern architect who designed the building, hence the name. Their latest project was on Friday the 22nd of June where they activated the Harry ATM. People lined up from as early as 11am to be the first ones to type in the code and receive some freebies. However, you must sign up on their website to get the code. SIGN UP to stay in the loop They gave out free goodies from coffee, muffin to vouchers to redeem hot food and salads from the Eat House in the plaza which must be used on that day. The ATM reminded us of the Cupcake ATM in New York, United States we used when we were there. It was a massive hype back in 2014. We arrived there at 11.30AM on the dot and the line was already massive. We had to wait in line for approximately an hour before we could use the ATM so we ad

Pepper Lunch Southlands

Feast for about 4 people, approx. $20 each Originating from Japan, the mastermind behind Pepper Lunch Kunio Ichinose had an idea to serve quality fast food without having to hire a chef. From there, he has managed to branch out to over 360 outlets worldwide including 226 in Japan, 23 in South Korea and Hong Kong, 33 in China, 6 in Taiwan, Malaysia, Australia, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Macau, Vietnam, Philippines, Canada, Brunei and US - you get the idea. Icon It's the theatrical show of the sizzling hot metal plate that excites the customers. Heated up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit - that's 260 celcius, the food arrives at the table sizzling, creating a mouthwatering experience for customers even before they dig into their dish. The meat can be eaten rare or well done, depending on the customer's preference. And they highly recommend using the condiments provided on the table - with a choice of either the special honey brown sauce ( Amakuchi ) o
