Happy new year friends! Paige and I had a chill new years eve in where we stayed at home and binged a new Korean drama, Gyeongseong Creature on Netflix. We were sent a bunch of goodies by the kind folks over at Hound & Hunter late last year and figured their truffle pate would pair well with our charcuterie board πŸ˜‹.

Five days in Margaret River | #pekopekovlogs ep. 3
We spend five days down south in the Margaret River region of Western Australia. Also ooops at 7:28 we were meant to say Rotary Park and not Bold Park πŸ™ˆ.Tim…

As promised, we've just dropped the latest vlog which summarises our trip down to Margaret River (and surrounds) in late September last year. Be sure to subscribe if you haven't already ❀️. There's also lots of food photos I've edited just for the vlog, that have yet to make it onto the feed too πŸ™ˆ.

In other news, we've got around two more weeks until we head off to Japan for our.. pre-honeymoon (TL;DR, we had frequent flyer points expiring and decided to book the trip, rather than spend $$$ extending the points).

If you have any recommendations on where to eat in Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo or Sapporo, do let us know.

Back to regular programming.

β€Œβ€ŒThe Best Thing We Ate ⭐️

Suzie's Makan Place

Special 2 Plain Prata + Briyani + 2 Meat $22 - lamb curry, chicken curry, pickles

If you tuned in last week, you'll know that Suzie's Makan Place served up one of our favourite eats of 2023. So naturally, it should come at no surprise that it was the best thing we ate last week. It was also the final restaurant meal we had in 2023!


What We Ate 🍴

Pantano Bar

Top down shot of tacos with lettuce and chorizo
Chorizo & cheese tacos (3pc) $20

The in-house made sauces here slap. We especially like the bacon one 🀩. Burgers here are also very yum. I ordered the platter for.. 4 people but it was easily polished off by a friend and I.

Top down shot of plate with fried plantains, mini arepa, pulled beef, vegetables and avocado
8 arepitas con queso, 1 patacon, and 4 fillings (asado, hogao, avocado and shredded beef) $44

Phat Brew Club

Ending this week is Phat Brew Club's BBQ steak sandwich. Though this was more banh mi than sandwich for me πŸ˜….
