I thought that I would just come up with lists of different things that I will update as I visit those places and since I love food. I'll start off with it.
Burgers/American style Diners
Jus Burger - 743 Newcastle st, Leederville.
Like the name says, they only have burgers and of course the fries or onion rings that goes along with it. Great Burgers although a bit ex. Really liked the Wagyu Burger.
Fast Eddy's - Corner of Murray Street & Milligan Street; another branch at Westfield Carousel, Albany Highway; fast food outlet at Carillon City basement, Hay St Mall.
Typical American 50s Diner. Love the Cop a lot burger. Extremely filling. Like the one at Murray St as it is opened 24 hrs.
Little Creatures - 40 Mews Road, Fremantle WA 6160
Frematle has many very good places and this is one of them. Very good food in a nice place, very informal and wash the food down with some of the best beer around. What more can you ask.
Chinese
Dim Sim Cafe - 3/297-299 William St Northbridge WA 6003 Tel: 08 9328 9388
Open daily except Wed 9.30 to 3.
Typical Dim Sum restaurant. Food is okay but nothing to shout about and I guess the price is typical.
Prices range from $3.30 to $5.80 per dish
Example: Char Siew Bun - $4.00 for 2, Siew Mai - $4.40 for 3, Char Siew Cheong Fun - $4
Dragon Seafood Restaurant - 66 - 72 Francis St Northbridge 6003 Tel 08 9227 8882
Serves Dim sum in the afternnoon and a la carte Cantonese or set for dinner. The food ain't too bad and worth visiting. For lunch, they open up the upstairs KTV lounge for dim sum as extra seatings.
Price range from $3.90 to $5.90
Example: Char Siew Bun - $4.60 for 3, Siew Mai - $4.60 for 3, Char Siew Cheong Fun - $4.60
G'Fun On the right along South St on the way to Fremantle (9 am - 7 pm daily)
Specialises in Chicken rice and for $4, it's definitely a steal and the food is good too. They have different types of chicken and they sell char siew pao, dai pao and lor mai kai too.
Food Courts
There's a typical food court at almost every big shopping centre like Westfield. The stalls almost always seem to be the same in that they will have at least 1 Asian/Chinese food, Japanese, a McDonalds or Burger Kings, Subway, Fresh and Natural, Bucking Beef and others. Prices are almost the same everywhere.
Carillon City - Hay St Mall
It has 2 food court. One in the basement and the other on Level 3. The food ranges from fast food to asian so everyone's taste should be catered for. Food price is typical food court prices. You can get a meal for around $10 plus a drink.
Westfield Carousel - 1382 Albany Highway
Spencer Village Food Court - Spencer Road, Thornlie
Has about 10 different stalls selling Asian food only. Looks resemble a KL food court and the food ain't too bad. There's one stall that serves 'or lua' and sometimes Katong Laksa. The drinks stall sells soya milk by the glass or the jug and the jug is definitley worth it. Can get durain chendol, ice kachang and ngor hiang here too. It's BYO here so in case there's any that needs to have wine with Asian food, there's no problem.
Cafe
The Dizzy Witch Cafe - 197-199 Brisbane Street Northbridge WA6003 Tel: 08 92281501
This a cosy and relaxing place for a cup of afternoon tea though they do serve lunch too. The cakes (which is different every time I'm there) is one of the best I've tasted and the cream which is whipped by the boss is heaven (especially eaten with the cake!). The wedges with 2 different dips is also good. They are generous with their tea leaves and there is always an extra pot of hot water to thin the tea if it gets too thick.
Confectionery/bakery
Corica - 106 Aberdeen St Northbridge WA 6003 Tel: 08 9328 8196
Mon - Fri - 8 - 5.30, Sat 8 - 12.30
They have one of the best apple strudels around. During summer, they have a blueberry/apple strudel which is to die for. They cost $18 each and besides apple strudels, they have other very good cake like eclairs too.
Japanese
Taka - 150 - 152 Barrack St Corner Wellington St Tel: 08 9221 4771
Mon-Sat 11 - 9, Sun 11 - 5
Cheap but good food. The portion is definitely enough for most people and it is cheap. You can get a meal plus drinks for less than $10 and they also have 2 sizes. The large serving comes with free miso soup and the Japanese tea is free. The setting reminds me more of a cafeteria but I'm not complaining as I'm there for the food and not the ambiance.
Ha Lu - Shop4/401 Oxford St, Mt Hawthorn WA 6016 Tel: 08 9444 0577
One of the better Japanese restaurants in Perth. The food is good and the service excellent. The bento take away is definitely worth it. Too bad I'm not staying near here otherwise I'll be frequenting it more often
Green Tea House - Subiaco Mews Shopping Complex, Hay St, Subiaco Tel: 08 9388 7245
Not a restaurant at all but a place to get really good Japanese green tea. Tsutomu san, the owner will be more than happy to let you try the different tea and the good thing about him is that he is more interested in sharing his knowledge of tea than selling them. There is no pressure to buy at all but like my tai chi instructor, he wanted to run into to shop and get some tea for his brother but ended up spending 45 minutes and buying a tea set too. You can't help but get caught up with his passion.
Kanta Japanese Retaurant U 7/76 Langford Ave, Langford 6147 (08) 9451 5720 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting (08) 9451 5720
This is one of the best Japanese restaurant in Perth. Nothing pretentious and it reminds me of typical family run restaurants back in Japan. Their food is definitely a cut above the rest and at the end of the meal, you'll definitely feel satisfied. Don't really need reservation for lunch but definitely for dinner. There's only seating for about 18 at any one time so call before going.
Malaysian/Indonesian
Mahsuri - 313 Albany Highway Victoria Park WA 08 9362 5062
Pretty good restaurant serving Malay cuisine specialising in satays. Tried the beef and chicken satay and preferred the beef. Definitely worth a visit. Don't expect Singapore and Malaysia price though, this is Perth eating out.
Vietnamese
Quan An Viet Hoa Vietnamese Restaurant - Unit 1, 349 William Street Northbridge WA 6003 Tel: 08 93282127
Pretty good and relatively cheap vietnamese food. It gets quite crowded during lunch and dinner time. A bowl of noodles costs around $9.50 but I love the durian shake that they have. The bowl of noodles is quite big and just nice for me although a bit too much for the ladies.
Pho Que Huong Vietnamese & Chinese Noddle House - Shop 1/73 Honeywell Blvd Mirrabooka Village Shopping Centre Tel: 9248 2612
This was the first Vietnamese restaurant we went. The food was not too bad and the price was reasonable. Tried the Vietnamese coffee and didn't like it. It was way to sweet for my taste.
