The Perth Experience – Part 2
Seafood!Perth has a coastline, so fresh seafood is readily available, especially at those places located by the sea.Firstly, we went up north to Hilary Harbour & Sorento Quay.

After saying hello to all my fishy friends, we headed to Sorento Quay which was just a shout away.There were quite a … [Read more...]

So, having been inspired by some great roast pork recipes and try-outs by some floggers - namely Camemberu and Precious Pea, I decided to give this a try last weekend. I followed Camemberu’s recipe as it was less complicated. I used the simple marinade recommended, mainly: Salt Pepper 5-spice powder I … [Read more...]
