The Best Thing We Ate ⭐️
Suzie's Makan Place
📍 8/280 Bannister Rd, Canning Vale WA 6155
Special 2 Plain Prata + Briyani + 2 Meat $22 – lamb curry, chicken curry, pickles
The best thing we ate this week was the curry at Suzie's Makan Place. It was good as ever! We've posted about this place many a time. If we had to pin point our fave here, it's probably the lamb curry. I usually get the $22 special which has a great spread.
What We Ate 🍴
Zypher Lounge
📍 414 Murray St, Perth WA 6000
Zypher Lounge is a new lounge x Japanese dining concept located across from Shafto Lane. Most importantly for us - it's headed by our friend Chef Evan Bang, formerly of Hitomebore, Kukan Izakaya, Nobu and more.
Yes, you'll find a handful of his old creations and some Nobu staples. Food quality hit the mark and is consistent with what we expect from Chef Evan.
The drinks menu was designed by old friend and colleague Priyant, who heads up Drip By Pri - so you'll find some Nobu inspired drinks here too.

Tea Garden (Vic Park)
📍888 Albany Hwy, East Victoria Park WA 6101
On Friday night we made the mistake of.. dining at Tea Garden in Vic Park. We probably ended up waiting around 1 hour - just to get in. The metaphorical kick in the balls was waiting 1 hour, only to be offered a table which remained uncleared for the entire duration 😅.
It does seem the Tea Garden Vic Park team are still working on some teething / staffing issues / training issues, especially given that Tea Garden Vic Park store has been open only for a short amount of time.
To compare against our local Canning Vale branch, we ordered our usual crispy noodles. Luckily, food came out very quickly. The Bopple QR ordering system is also used here, which made ordering effortless.
In terms of taste, it was comparable. Our taste skews towards Canning Vale's version - as our serving's noodles were a tad on the hard (not crispy) side. We do like the new plates this store though.
Nasi lemak w/ curry chicken $18.9
Our friend Adam ordered nasi lemak with curry chicken. The chicken serving was generous!
So the TL;DR - if you're already SOR, go to the Canning Vale branch of Tea Garden (unless you want to dine in Vic Park specifically).
Yo-Chi (Vic Park)
📍 Shop 1/896 Albany Hwy, Victoria Park WA 6100
After waiting an hour for dinner, we decided to wait another 25 minutes for dessert 😆. Granted, it was our friend Machi's first time trying froyo, so we figured - why not.
When we got to the front of the line, we were a little saddened to hear that Yo-Chi had run out of chocolate froyo 🙁. Ah well, there's always next time!
Yo-Chi, if you ever wanna collab, you know where to find us 😆.
K Town
📍63 Aberdeen St, Northbridge WA 6003
Wrapping up this week we have K Town - which I visited as part of a bucks party.
While I'm not a fan of marinated KBBQ meats or all you can eat venues, K Town's $45 ish all you can eat option was reasonable and a good budget option for KBBQ (especially handy for larger groups).
Vibes here were great (despite it being very hot over the weekend) and lively. Bonus points for charcoal BBQ too!
