Top Perth Food Spots through the Eyes of a Traveller (Sep), Perth, Australia (B)

I’ve been in Western Australia for a couple of months, and in that time I’ve been lucky enough to come across all sorts of delicious Perth food. These are my Top 5 Perth food highlights as of the end of September, based purely on my dining experiences and what I’d recommend to other Perth visitors. I imagine the list will continue to expand as I munch my way round the city.

Lucky Chan’s, a buzzing spot – decorated with washing machines and hanging laundry – was where I went for my first meal out in Perth, and on a recent visit I was reminded why it left such an impression. The crunchy crab bao is a thing of beauty – a flawless soft bun packed full of crispy crustacean, doused with thousand-island sauce. I could literally eat five of these in a row, while the ramen bowls make the top tier of those I’ve encountered in Perth. I was also very impressed by their extensive spirits range, while my girlfriend instantly declared her drink – top left corner of the list, from memory – “the best cocktail I’ve ever had”. Additionally, the staff could not have been friendlier, taking time out to give recommendations on sake and Japanese whiskey. Pro tip: sit on the end of the bar nearest the door, and witness the chefs dish up the desserts right in front of you. It’s like watching the Food Channel from two feet away. ......
