Located along Barrack Street in the middle of Perth CBD near the shopping district, is Le Vietnam. Think Paris. Think Vietnam. Put it together and you have Le Vietnam – a Vietnamese French cafe.

Tra Vinh remains as one of my favourite Vietnamese restaurants because they serve authentic Vietnamese dishes which reminds me of the food I had in Ho Chi Minh City three years ago. Tra Vinh offers a variety of noodle soup and rice dishes at a reasonable price. It has been a while since I last dined at the Brisbane Street restaurant and recently they have opened another branch on William Street. The interior at … Continue reading Tra Vinh

I have been asked very often why do I always go to Subiaco Station Street Markets for lunch. The answer is simple. It’s because there is a large variety of food there whether it’s Mexican, Malaysian, Vietnamese, German, Greek and so on. Most weekends and some Sundays after work, my family and I will always be at Subiaco Markets for lunch and to buy fruits and vegetables. Before dad heads for golf and I go for my afternoon lecture, we decided to have lunch at the markets. As usual, dad ordered the deep fried stuffed chicken wings for our entree … Continue reading Of Malaysian Hawker food and Vietnamese stuffed chicken wings
