Everyday Food I Love

On the 21st May 2017, Everyday Food I Love attended another event hosted by Now! In Season Malaysia. Now! In Season Malaysia (#nowinseasonmy) are hosting a series of events in their campaign here in the country, developed by the Australian Federal Government, Horticulture Innovation Australia and the Government of Victoria to promote fresh fruits and vegetables from Australia.

Last weekend, I took part in an event at the Village Grocer's Cafe, Tropicana Avenue hosted by Now! In Season  Malaysia . Since then, I have learned quite a fair bit about eating clean and how easy it really is with the help of Malaysian Celebrities Daphne Iking who emceed the event and Celebrity Nutrition Expert Indra Balaratnam .

The Merrywell is a casual dining gastro-pub in Crown Melbourne. Listed as one of the top 10 Best Burger in Melbourne, the burger bar at Merrywell is where the real magic happens.

Vietnamese food characterised by the various Pho offerings, Banh Mi and Com Tam are relatively authentic in Melbourne. Being one of the best Vietnamese Restaurant in Melbourne, Pho Chu The on Hopkins Street, Footscray is always busy with diners during any time in the day or night.

Only a 10-minute walk from the CBD of Melbourne, Ibis Melbourne has modern accommodations with flat-screen satellite TV. It is only a 5-minute walk from Queen Victoria Market and the historic Old Melbourne Gaol (Jail).

A household name for Melburnians, Crown is a place where one hopes to turn a bad day around with a quick round at their casino. But if you're not into that sort of thing (or a painful reminder in the past has sent you shivering to the core) then there's much to do in crown. Shopping, dining, health & wellness, great hospitality and the movies all under one roof, right smack in the middle of an urban jungle is a city slicker's paradise. One of the many great places to fill up an empty stomach is Koko Japanese Restaurant. This restaurant not only boast multi-award credence, but the you can enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine in the midst of serene, yin and yang balancing water garden interior, designed by renown designer Tony Chi..(er..no pun intended?)

Show me a man who's worked 16 hours a day since 1972, and I'll show you Topolino's restaurant. I honestly can't pull a nine to five without spending 6 hours on facebook in the office, but hey, that's why my lazy ass doesn't have a fine Italian restaurant that is rated at least 4 stars by all online polls. This humble looking restaurant opens 4pm till late on Mon to Wed and 12pm till very very late on Thurs to Sun. 

When you step inside a restaurant that is the winner of the World Champion Pizza Maker, there is no question of a doubt, one would feel almost intimidated, consuming food that are meant for demigods, or at least fit for the greatest emperor Caesar. So we were a bit surprised to say the least at how humble and cosy this place is, which is good news for us mere mortals, and travelers at that.

Leave it to the Aussies to introduce a unique burger in an overly commercialised joint. Perhaps in an attempt to win customers who are more conscious about how their food affect their environment, this is very much in sync with the 'eat local' global movement, that has seem to hit the more 'cultured' Westerners.

  Winning the award of being the best burger for Western Australia in 2012, is certainly no small feat. Being a big fan of burgers, we made it a point to visit one of their many little outlets, one of which is here at Leederville.

  If you’re looking for a fast, flavoursome fix of delicious Japanese cuisine, Taka in Barrack Street is unbeatable value for money. This cafe-restaurant is a student's favourite place to eat in Perth.

It's rare to get a meal for under AUD5 in the city of Perth these days. But at Chilliz, a Malaysian cafe, you can find meals ranging from AUD3.20 to AUD4.80. And what’s even better, the meals taste great.

The Re Store is located on Lake Street in Northbridge. The coffee here is simply excellent while the freshly made continental rolls are something you shouldn't miss if you ever visit the store.

Tony Roma's...ah Ribs, Seafood and Steak. All else just fades away into the background in an almost psychedelic artwork manner. Where all senses and locomotion are sync to achieve just one: shamelessly enjoying a nice foot-long full slab of ribs. Fair warning for those who are on a strict regiment or have had one too many and are paying the price in your sunset years (no disrespect whatsoever to food veterans), the following contents will make you cry. Read on at your own risk.

  This famous nougat maker has the humble beginnings of an Italian immigrants setting up their family recipe cake shop. It is must stop over during your swan valley visit. It has long been tradition for people bringing mini packs of nougat for friends and family back home after touring Australia, and Mondo Nougat makes one of the best soft nougats.

The Margaret River Chocolate Company makes and sells a mouth-watering range of chocolate bars, chocolate coated delights, hand made truffles, novelty chocolates, chocolate sauces and much more. At the chocolate factory, you can enjoy a fascinating insight into the world of chocolate, with free chocolate tastings and interactive displays. It is open from 9am-5pm every day of the year except Christmas Day.

Tucked by a gentle stream behind Royal Street, The Partisan mixes high end urban chic, with a little hint of rustic flair, and we haven't even begin describing their food yet. But by the end of your meal, don't kick yourself for being slightly partisan to this fine eatery.

Known for their dedication to producing the best tasting coffee. Yahava Koffee Works is a must visit. Just 25 minutes from Perth CBD, and located in scenic Swan Valley, make a scheduled stop here as you go about your food and beverage tour.

Swan Valley offers everything from wine tasting, coffee tasting, chocolate factory to cheese farms, lavender farms and goat farms. It is a perfect spot to awaken the senses, tantalise the tastebuds and escape the hustle and bustle of city life. You'll find some of Western Australia's finest wines and local produce here, as well as acres of scenic vineyards.

Station Street Market started form a humble beginnings in the mid 1980's as an open carpark market selling mainly fruit and vegetables. The character and atmosphere is reminiscent of the European style market places with about 45 stalls including a huge fruit and vegetable area.
