October I was eating all sorts of cuisines from French, Moroccan, American to name a few. So no surprises my Top 5 Perth Eats are all quite different!
Top 5 Perth Eats
#1 is Chefz Table’s hibiscus & mint sorbet. Full review of Chefz Table coming soon – I was so impressed these guys were able to turn my massive likes and dislikes list into an amazing custom menu matched with wines.
#2 is The Peasant’s Table’s salmon, it was so silky smooth and a dish I could eat weekly.
#3 is The Cooking Professor, Riki Kasper’s Shak Shuka, I first discovered Riki’s amazing Moroccan dish at the Subiaco Farmers Market and was delighted to find it at UnWined 2013.
#4 The Old Crow’s fried chicken. This completely surprised me, I was expecting deep fried chicken that left me feeling greasy afterwards. This was nothing like it – super tender, tasty and left me wanting more!
#5 is The Laneway Lounge’s caramel custard tart with salted caramel, banana sorbet & chocolate. The perfect dessert to enjoy whilst listening to jazz.
Top 5 Perth foodie news & events
My Top 5 Perth foodie news and events as submitted by Perth businesses in October were:
- Unwined Food & Wine Show – we ate way too much, this is where I rediscovered Shak Shuka. My friend Mia was stoked to also win a jar of Riki’s Moroccan marinade.
- October marked the launch of Christina Pickard’s School of Wine
- The West Winds Gin Cocktail Masterclass at Frisk – I was tempted to deliver our crust pizzas personally but I didn’t think burger boy’s chances of getting me back to the store would be very high after a gin or two…
- Beaufort Street Festival Roving Dinners – besides being a fun foodie evening, part proceeds went to the Beaufort Street Network, the not-for-profit organisation behind the Beaufort Street Festival
- The West’s new 2014 Good Food & Wine Guide – may take awhile to eat through this guide, there’s plenty of Perth restaurants reviewed
