The standard

-

 The high standard at the Standard Perth sets the bar for classy bars in Perth!

Too many puns for your liking? ;)







The chef Chase Weber has been working hard since the beginning of the Standard, fusing Asian cuisine into Western bar culture to pair with cocktails and wines and beers, and has been doing it well. In fact, he was crowned the winner of the competition at the Winning Appliances for the WA Good Food Guide's Chef's cook-off.




This turmeric wafer duck salad was the winning dish.


Most dishes are designed to be shared (or not to be shared which are some of the other dishes on offer on menu).

The Spring/Summer menu here is all brand-new except for two dishes which managed to stay; one of which is their famous kangaroo dish (Caramelised kangaroo, sesame soy custard, pineapple, finger lime).

CLICK here for the full menu




Kingfish ceviche, toasted coconut, vinaigrette, sour coconut

This elegant dish was a great start to our course meal, light and refreshing but an interesting flavour with taste of coconut throughout the fish. Thinly sliced kingfish sashimi really soaked up the subtle yet bold coconut flavour.


Caramelised pork satay dip, puffed rice crackers, cucumber


The caramelised pork satay dip with puffed rice crackers (pictured above) was pretty to look at and fun to eat and reminded me of these puffed rice crackers I used to have as a kid growing up in South Korea. It was called 'Ppeong-twi-gyi' and looked very similar as well. The salty and sweet caramelised pork satay dip which can be enjoyed with the crackers was a perfect accompaniment to the dish.


Smoked potato cream, pedro braised lamb, puffed grains, skins




“KFC” Korean fried cauliflower, bbq glaze, daikon, toasted sesame










Charred local squid, black jasmine rice & ink adobo, garlic oil






Roast baby chicken, dashi & burnt honey sauce, toasted sesame






Market fish, turmeric & coconut curry, rice gnocchi, green mango






Pan fried wheat noodles, eggplant XO, toasted sesame, leek






Whipped blue cheese, brik pastry, balsamic, rice jam, candlenut






Soy milk ganache, pear mousse, mulled wine, salted oreo

The Standard has really stepped it up in terms of quality bar food that had me reaching for more drinks, food, drinks, food ... (you get the gist)

I have always liked the modern Asian cuisine provided at this place, welcoming yet intimate vibe they have managed to create and the extensive drinks menu!

I will no doubt be back there to try more dishes from their new menu 💓

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 Phili...

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...
