WEEKLY DIGEST 058 | 31 MAR 2023
Kukan Izakaya's miso creme brulee

Paige and I spent last week recovering from a pretty gnarly flu, which pretty much left us as home most of the week. I was pretty cooked, only now I realise I forgot to send out last week's newsletter too!

So without any further ado.. Last week's edition:

A Perth food newsletter | 24 MARCH 2023
Banh mi that sells out.

Naturally, we didn't dine out much last week.

What We Ate 🍴

Pizza Mates

Foldover style pizza
Hot box $26
Top down shot of pasta with basil
Fettuccine speck & scamorza $24
Top down shot of pizza with anchovy
Sanpei $27

Pizza Mates is worth travelling for. So much so, it was our second time driving around 30 minutes, just for pizza. We tried the egg pasta for the first time. It was deliciously well seasoned, and just as good as the pizza.

Pantano Bar

Platter Bites for 6 $50 - 6 arepa quarters, 6 tostones, 6 tacos, avocado, asado, pork, shredded beef, black beans, grilled veggies

Over the weekend, we dined at Pantano Bar - a Venezuelan restaurant and bar. We originally discovered the place while waiting for our banh mi when at DJ's in Willagee.
