Aisuru Sushi Bar, Northbridge

Aisuru Sushi Bar is barely a month old, the new kid on the block where James and William Streets meet, next to the New Edition bookshop opposite the iconic Brass Monkey Hotel in Northbridge. “Aisuru” means “to love” in Japanese, and there’s a lot to love about this restaurant. I jump at the chance to […]

Kanta Japanese Kitchen and Sushi Bar, Langford

Kanta Japanese Kitchen and Sushi Bar is a cosy izakaya-style restaurant located next to Pharmacy 777 on Langford Avenue. It’s the kind of place that would be easy to overlook and drive right past; you wouldn’t expect to find an amazing restaurant here in this no-name shopping centre in a suburb not particularly known for […]

Jaws Kaiten Sushi, Hay Street Mall, Perth

A day off with my younger sister Juji. What do we do? Eat, of course! It’s been a while since we’ve been to Jaws Kaiten Sushi on the Hay Street Mall in Perth. We’re both ardent fans of Jaws. When it first opened its doors in 1995 it was Perth’s first sushi train restaurant – […]

Work lunch – chicken karaage

Whether the day is boring, stressful or surprisingly good, fried chicken and rice makes it better. And funnily enough, a few weeks later, fried chicken did its magic again… though it looks like they skimped on the rice.

Japanese chicken takeaway lunch

My takeaway lunch from Jaws Mint (East Perth, opposite the Perth Mint) – a large teriyaki chicken and rice, which includes a side serve of spaghetti salad. Workmate J’s lunch from Jaws Mint – sauce katsu chicken, rice with sliced chicken katsu in teriyaki sauce. This dish includes a side serve of seaweed, one of […]

Teriyaki fish

Teriyaki fish from Jaws Mint, East Perth (opposite the Perth Mint). It comes in one size with the fish, rice and pickled ginger. I always give my ginger to whoever I happen to be eating lunch with – I love ginger and like pickles normally, but for some reason I’ve never liked the Japanese pickled […]

Work lunch – chicken katsu burger with fries

We have noodles, curry, Japanese and sandwiches in East Perth but what I’d like is a real burger place. Or even a junk food franchise burger place. I know having easy access to junk food would make bad days so much better. Of course, I’m not talking “nutritionally” better – I’m talking about the shameless, [&hell…

Work lunch – teriyaki chicken from Jaws Mint

Workmate J and I grabbed takeaway lunches from Jaws Mint (on Hay Street, opposite the Perth Mint). We each got a small teriyaki chicken. The chicken looked so juicy, the brown skin so moist and shiny, the teriyaki sauce soaked into the perfectly clumpy rice underneath – I just couldn’t wait to eat this! Workmate […]
