Havana Restaurant and Bar, East Perth

27 August 2010
Marsala veal porterhouse from Havana, East Perth

The food at Havana is not OMG expensive, but it’s definitely not cheap. We enjoyed garlic prawns, marsala veal porterhouse, a chargrilled marinated half chicken and house-made desserts. The tiramisu didn’t fully satisfy, but the banana crepe with chocolate sauce was delightful.

Nasi lemak from Taurus Hawker Foods, Willetton

Taurus Hawker Foods is a great place to go if you have a craving for any of the hawker favourites – laksa, nasi lemak, chicken rice, fried kway teow, cendol and so on. Most dishes are available in small or large sizes, but be warned, at Taurus, large is HUGE.

Pancakes at Carillon, Perth

11 July 2010
Mini pancake stack with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup

Restaurant review. Service was friendly and fast, food was delicious. An all-day menu featuring more than just pancakes. A menu specially for the kids. My Pancakes Aussie Sunrise included two fluffy buttermilk pancakes with whipped butter, fried egg, grilled banana and pineapple and a choice of bacon or sausage. A drizzle of maple syrup and I was in breakfast heaven.

Caramelised banana crepes with bacon

Restaurant review. This review is unusual, because it includes not one, but two visits within the space of a week! Yes – I like this place that much!

My buffet plate at Agni Fine Cuisine, Innaloo

Restaurant review. Overall the food was good, with Agni’s goat curry and Goan fish curry the highlights, but there were a few disappointments, including buffet items placed out of reach and no bowls for the kheer.
