Food, Drink & Dining Out The Perth Thread - Part 2

[Leper]

Melbourne Vs. Toronto at the G should be a big game (FWIW Toronto is a concrete jungle shithole IMHO - Vancouver is where it's at for Canada).

I'll barrack for Helsinki.

How?! You can't get a job here anymore.. Everything overpriced. Transport system pretty bad. Nightlife the worst in Australia (after tassie).

Maybe the city best to retire in.. That's about it. These lists always make me laugh tbh.

We lost points in the culture rating thanks to you, douchebag.

There's been a bit of talk about food in here lately, does anyone have some lesser known places that they love?

In the city I rate Max and Sons for a good, reasonably priced coffee. It's in the laneway behind Jamie Oliver's.
Theres a toasted sandwich/juice place, I think it's called (toast face) in the laneway opposite David Jones that is pretty decent.
In the 'Asian triangle' posted by Van_Dyke there are a few decent asian places, one near the Collins Road petrol station in Willetton. There's also a noodle place in Thornile that's great but I can't remember the name of it. The noodle place in the city at the Murray Street end on the laneway next to the old cinemas is just brilliant. Again, I can't remember the name.

I've mentioned Papagallos, which is good. It could be on Lygon Street, Carlton, if it dropped their prices a little. Neighbourhood Pizza in Mt Hawthorn is also pretty good. The pizza is good and you can BYO.

Anyone else recommend any places that are reasonably priced that have good food?

The name sounds familiar, I think that's it. They have a few decent food places that are pretty cheap? Bamboo something rings a bell.

Never left the TAB area to find out how loose it gets in the old timer's section but I reckon it would get rowdy on a Wednesday night

Toastface Grilla - a play on words upon the rapper Ghostface Killa. It made news a while ago when he stopped by and did some off the cuff rap singing there.

I've eaten there once. I didn't rate the food but I guess it's one of those places where you pay for the atmosphere/scene points.

I also recently read about the building it's in. Apparently it housed the first pawn broker in Perth.

With regards to Adelaide being listed higher than Perth on that best cities thing, I know that they didn't consider things like this but in Adelaide I was able to rent a place in lush Toorak Gardens for less than I rented for in shoddy Maylands.

You can also access the city so much more conveniently in Adelaide and the architecture is underrated, particularly by people who only rate talls buildings as impressive.

The beaches are way below Perths though. Waaaaaay.

+1 for Max and Sons, almost if not best coffee in the CBD

Thai Corner on Canning Highway and Royal Thai on corner of Oxford Street/Anzac Road Mt Hawthorn.

Adelaide didn't lose points for having muddy poo for water so....

As I found out recently, there are international water standards that countries aim to meet if they want to claim safe drinking water. It seems like Singapore is really proud to be a South East Asian country which does.

As I understand it, Adelaide meets these standards but I suspect their water quality and city wide low IQ's are linked.
