The Best Thing We Ate ⭐️
Di Chiera Brothers Continental Store
📍 527 Fitzgerald St, North Perth WA 6006
The best thing we ate last week was the chicken schnitzel roll at the recently reborn-Di Chiera Brothers Continental Store. I particularly enjoyed the soft and chewy bread roll they used. It provided a very nice textural contrast against combination of crispy chicken, crispy lettuce and creamy mayo.
Runner up, was the Philly cheese steak roll. Not too heavy. Just right.
Lastly the staple roll - a Conti roll. Not much to say on this, except that the ingredients speak for themselves.
Service here was lovely too. We'll be back!
What We Ate 🍴
Ongrill
📍 227 Bulwer St, Perth WA 6000
After over two decades of operation, Nine Fine Dining finally shut down. In its place we now have Ongrill - a modern Korean restaurant.
On the menu here you'll find BBQ platters - similar to the ones you'll find at middle eastern restaurants, saving you the hassle of BBQing, as well as your usual fare of Korean dishes (soups and fried chicken). They also offer customisable bibimbap bowls. Orders can be made entirely via a QR code ordering system.
There's nothing on the menu that commands a second visit for us, but having said that, food was fine overall and meat was all nicely grilled.
Pietro Gelateria (Northbridge)
📍3/323 William St, Perth WA 6000
After dinner you gotta get dessert right? We walked down from Ongrill to Pietro Gelateria. Still probably our favourite gelato spot in Perth.
Silver Sushi Willetton
📍 1/41 Burrendah Blvd, Willetton WA 6155
We live pretty close by to Silver Sushi, and after visiting last Friday, we questioned why we don't go back more often. They've just revamped the place, giving it a more elevated feel.
All the dishes here were consistent as ever. Paige's pick is the salmondon (though, playing devil's advocate, we can make this at home for a fraction of the price) while mine is their chicken nanban.
Our friend opted for their cold udon and some vegetable tempura. Looked good!
For sides we got their tempura eggplant and a sushi roll to share.
I'm not usually an eggplant type of guy, but the tempura eggplant here is delicious - a nice contrast between sweet, salty, sour and crunchy. If we see it on the menu, we usually order it (the nasu miso at Nobu is also one of our staple orders, and this is a good homage to that dish).
The aburi mentaiko sushi roll as expected, ran more on the heavy side.
On a completely unrelated note, Paige and I's phone photo galleries are full of menus and I have terabytes of food photos. So I figured I'd get the ball rolling and start posting them up here as well, on dedicated pages - even if it's low effort.

Bibra Lake Lunch Bar
📍1/40 Port Pirie St, Bibra Lake WA 6163
On Saturday we swung by Bibra Lake Lunch Bar before dropping into Eurostyle Smallgoods Butcher to pick up some weisswurst for Sunday dinner.
This probably marks our.. I don't know - 10th? Visit to Bibra Lake Lunch Bar? 😆
My long term thoughts on this place: I prefer their "lighter" (less stuffed to the brim) banh mi - like their pork meat ball and now off the menu (but available on request) egg banh mi. These banh mi are a little harder to come by in Perth - with the most ubiquitous roll being filled with roast pork belly.
Maybe it's cause I grew up eating the OG Girrawheen, pre-made banh mi (a blasphemy some would consider), commonly available at Asian grocery stores. These banh mi had a less is more approach and had your classic Viet cold cuts. But there was a beauty in this, and it allowed you to enjoy each and every ingredient.
