For the city workers, Kenko lunch special costs $10 for the rice dishes and $12 for the noodle dishes. I think that night I only tried a tiny portion of what Kenko offered and as I’m writing this review, I know that I’m keen to go back to Kenko for other dishes!

NeNe Chicken Vic Park (Invited)

NeNe Chicken is currently applying for liquor licence and they're hoping to extend the trading hours past midnight so we all can have a fried chicken coma (yay!)

Dinner at Little Grill Vietnamese Cafe, Vic Park

The three meats dishes were really tasty and I'd go back for the same dish but there are a lot of other things to try from the menu at the Little Grill Vietnamese Cafe. We will definitely bring our empty tummies more often in the future.

Dinner at Pearl Restaurant, Riseley St

Pearl was a good Vietnamese restaurant to have around the south of the river area and it is best to book your seat in advance as we saw a good flow of people coming into the restaurant during a normal weeknight. Their beefy Pho Dac Biet is a must try!

RiceField by Homecooked at Cockburn Central

Our favourite dish was the sambal prawn and it was amazing how most recipes was received from the lady boss (Amy)'s husband's family lineage up to the husband's grandmother. This has allowed each dish to have a very personal history.

Chimek Alert! Gami at Shafto Lane

I assume every Chimek’s (chicken & mekju / beer) place will be successful because who doesn’t like beer and fried chicken, right? We had an enjoyable night at Gami and the service was really good as well. Gami will definitely be another good Chimek place to go to on top of the one that Perth already has (Sun BBQ, NeNe Chicken & Chimek Chimek).

Lunch Special at South Ocean Chinese Restaurant

We had a good experience during dinner time at the South Ocean Chinese Restaurant and hoping that lunch meals would be as good as well.

Rice Noodle House, Shelley

Many years ago this restaurant earned itself a title of the best chicken rice and was well known as the 'Marjorie's Chicken Rice' among university students. We tried out their Hainan Chicken Rice out of curiousity.

Kitchen Inn Kardinya

Kitchen Inn is definitely a good place if you’re looking for some East Malaysian food and each dish comes with a good price point.

Uncle Billy's Chinese Restaurant

Perth's Chinatown in Northbridge may be rather small and quiet but for as long as I can remember, it is well known for a restaurant called Uncle Billy's.

Good Fortune, Vic Park

We frequented Good Fortune in Northbridge before we became loyal customers of the outlet at East Victoria Park. A lot of people were queuing outside for weeks when the restaurant first opened its doors on Albany Hwy.

I Like Sun BBQ's Boneless Chicken!

After three dinners at Sun BBQ previously, our group of friends knew for sure that we would have another gathering there sometime in the future. If not for the sweet chili chicken then it would be for the honey chicken or the creamy carbonara chicken.
