Hwa Ro Korean Restaurant, Northbridge
We celebrated my sister Juji’s fiancé Jay’s birthday last month with a Korean BBQ dinner at Hwa Ro in Northbridge. As usual, we ordered a feast of epic meaty proportions. But I’ve often thought the tables at Korean BBQ restaurants need slide-out trays or an extra tier, a design to better accommodate diners with hearty […]
Vons Chicken Restaurant and Cafe Gelato Photo Lab, Victoria Park
Vons Chicken Restaurant Vons Chicken Restaurant is a Korean franchise that quietly opened a store in Victoria Park last year. The poster in the shop window features happy Korean boys brandishing Vons Chicken drumsticks. They look like they’re just seconds away from breaking into song using the chicken as microphones. Apparently, Korean boys l…
Charm Restaurant, East Perth
A couple of workmates and I celebrate the end of another year with lunch at Charm, a Korean-Japanese restaurant on Hay Street, a couple of shops up from the Grosvenor Hotel. It’s around 12.30pm when we arrive, and it’s busy. Luckily, there are a few tables still available. In choosing a starter, A declares a […]
Takeaway dinner from Poppo Korean and Japanese Restaurant
In the lead-up to my change of job and our holiday, we were both very busy and ate more takeaway food for dinner than usual. On one such occasion, I grabbed us takeaway from Poppo Korean and Japanese Restaurant in the city (137 Barrack St, Perth), on my way home from work. Jac told me […]
The return of Poppo takeaway
Last Wednesday night, I grabbed us dinner from Poppo Korean and Japanese Restaurant (Barrack St, Perth – see a previous takeaway dinner from Poppo, and a dine-in experience at Poppo, featuring my favourite sushi photos). I’d already eaten Japanese for my lunch that day, but Jac was really in the mood for Korean or Japanese […]
Dinners at home
For dinner on Monday night, Jac had thawed out a couple of freezer bags of Mexican chilli. These had been leftovers from previous Mexican dinners, which she served on baked potatoes. On the left, beef chilli con carne, on the right, turkey and bean chilli con carne. The turkey mix was my favourite. I’d enjoyed […]
Saturday lunch at Poppo
Yesterday, Jac and I went into town to do a little shopping. I needed a new outfit to wear at an upcoming work function. By the time we emerged from the last shop, laden with shopping bags, feeling tired and considerably poorer, we’d also worked up a good appetite. We decided to have a late […]
Friday night takeaway dinner
I offered to pick up something for dinner on my way home from work Friday night. Jac requested bulgogi from the Korean & Japanese Restaurant I’d gotten takeaway from previously, called Poppo. The restaurant was pretty busy when I got there, which was a very good sign. Lots of happy Korean and Japanese students enjoying […]
Takeaway dinner for Jac
On Tuesday, I picked up some takeaway dinner for Jac on my way home from work, from Poppo Korean Japanese Restaurant on Barrack Street in the city. We haven’t really eaten much Korean food – a few years ago we ate at Arirang Korean Barbecue Restaurant, also on Barrack Street, and that’s really about it. […]
