The “Hawker Market” style experience. OMG THE EXPERIENCE

On the night we dined, the restaurant was roaring with life (we highly recommend booking in advance) but you’d never know it as the waiters bantered with guests between running plates from the bustling open kitchen.
The rotating menu is designed for sharing and offers a range of hot, sweet, crispy, salty and sour street foods from across Asia – it almost feels like you’re at a hawker market.

WARNING: The rest of this article may make you want to lick your screen.

We started with spiced corn fritters and grilled eggplant with black sesame and Thai basil. The corn fritters were hot, crunchy and wolfed down smothered in a sweet and spicy green chilli jam. The eggplant was silky and rich, cut with the aniseed of the Thai basil, it didn’t last long either…

Complete List of Golf Courses & Mini Golf in Perth

For some people, the word ‘golf’ conjures up imagery of elderly gents in polo shirts and sweaters trotting around a green at a leisurely pace. However, there is so much more to golf than this shallow view. Even if you’ve never really tried your hand at golf — or you simply aren’t very good — there’s plenty to like about many of the golf courses in and around Perth, especially if you want to get the family involved. There is also a great collection of mini golf courses, giving the whole family something to do.

Golf courses by region:

Nedlands Golf Club
If you’re a fan of walking to stay fit, golfing is a great way to hit two birdies with one ball. Nedlands Golf Club, for example, has picturesque greens with sweeping vistas and a majestic view of Matilda Bay. Each hole in the nine-hole course has its own subtle challenge, making this course particularly good to replay time and time again until you edge ever closer to the club record. Visitors are most welcome, and the pro shop comes with everything you’d expect from a clubhouse — all with very reasonable prices.

Less than 10 minutes away from the CBD, you’ll find a pair of amazing courses at the Wembley Golf Complex. You’ll also discover an all-new driving range within a lovely bushland environment. There are 36 unique tree-lined holes on undulating terrains that challenge every golfer.
Soccer + Golf = FootGolf?!?
You would’ve thought that there would be little left to add for such an action-packed course like Wembley — but you’d be mistaken! Wembley also has its own custom-made 18-hole FootGolf course; it was the first FootGolf course in Australia to receive accreditation by the Federation for International FootGolf. Essentially, FootGolf is the hybridisation of soccer and golf. In other words, instead of clubs and a golf ball, you use your feet and a soccer ball.
