The Best Thing We Ate ⭐️
Bad Love Burger Co.
📍 3 & 4, 39 Harrogate St, West Leederville WA 6007
The best thing we ate this week was Paige's Double fat-smashed beef. The creamy, peppercorn gravy complemented the beef patty nicely.
I found my Black Label deluxe ran a little on the saltier side with the patty being a little on the dryer side too.
What We Ate 🍴
Ancom
📍 564 Beaufort street, Mount Lawley WA 6050
Back at Ancom for another dinner. Like last time, the highlight was the banh khot.
Their bo luc lac, or shaking beef, runs a little on the saucier side. Chopsticks' in Northbridge's interpretation ranks still as my favourite.
The chicken wings were a tad on the drier side. We've had better elsewhere.
Tofu was enjoyable!
Banh khot - something we'll probably get as a staple order when dining here.
Fried rice was alright.
Senchan
📍Shop 13/23 Junction Blvd, Cockburn Central WA 6164
Wrapping up a weekend of eating we have Senchan - which is likely Australia's first (yes first) machi-chuka restaurant (Japanese interpretation of Chinese food). Check out this article over on Metropolis Magazine for more.

Some friends and I cooled down with a bowl of their hiyashi chuka - Japanese style chilled ramen. Perfect for the hot weather. The bowl is sweet savoury. Noodles had a nice al dente, bitey-ness to them. Mustard is on the side should you want a spicier broth.
Subuta $22 - sweet and sour pork and vegetables
This visit marks our.. third (or fourth visit) to Senchan. The dish I've been craving to try was their subuta, or sweet and sour pork. I wouldn't dare order this at a Chinese restaurant for risk of being disowned 😆.
Having said that - I ate my fair share of it growing up, while working at my parent's Cantonese restaurant. I found the subuta to be more on the more sour and tart side, when compared to the Cantonese version which is typically more balanced.
Texturally, the pork was on the soggier side.
Probably a dish I wouldn't get again, but I'm still glad I tried it. Same same, but different I say.
