Kou Sushi's beef tataki

Weekly Digest is our weekly newsletter where we revisit what we ate over the past week.

Where did the time go? With a blink of an eye, 90+ days of the year have passed! Last week we visited one of our favourite finds all year so far - Kou Sushi. We also made our first gold coin from Google Ads πŸŽ‰! Thank you to those who put up with the (slightly) intrusive ads.

This week we have:

Kou Sushi
2020 Street Eats
Cherry & Grapes
Home cooking!

Singapore πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¬

Taken from Gardens by the Bay in 2017

We're going to Singapore in a couple weeks! We found a couple cheap flights on one my favourite sites, OzBargain. Our last visit was in 2019. We'd love to get your suggestions on food or things to do, so shoot us a DM or email if you have recommendations!

Website Updates ✨

For those new here, we aim to upload an article on the website for each Instagram post we upload. We wrote a bunch of articles over the last week, many of which are featured in February 2022's edition of Ate It & Rate It, covering all of our faves from February.

Louder Louder
An unassuming, contemporary Thai restaurant serving a range of Issan-Thai inspired classics and modern dishes.
De Honey Satay
Our favourite satay spot in Perth serving honey marinated charcoal grilled Malaysian satay that’s also Halal certified.
Big Don’s Smoked Meat x Le Vietnam collaboration
A collaboration between underground BBQ pop-up, Big Don’s Smoked Meats & Le Vietnam - a well known banh mi store serving up a range of progressive banh mi.
Cafe Oasis
A small Korean cafe serving up Korean street food (think gimbap, tteokbokki and ramyeon), Asian style pastries and Asian style drinks.
Kukan Izakaya
Our favourite modern Japanese restaurant in Perth which punches way above its weight class.
Cafe Guilty Pleasure
A Korean dessert cafe with cute and dainty interiors, serving up some of Perth’s best croffle, bingsu and cakes that aren’t too sweet.

We're proudest of the Cafe Guilty Pleasure and Kukan Izakaya articles as they feature photos over 2+ years of visits and are our longest articles so far. Be sure to show them some love.


If you have any new fantastic food finds, we'd love you to let us know via DM or email. If you have different opinions to us on food, that's fine - let us know too! We love to chat all things food.

The Best Thing We Ate ⭐️

Last week we made our first visit to Kou Sushi, a Japanese restaurant located in Riverdale. Kou Sushi served up the best thing we ate last week - their prawn cream curry don.

🍀 Prawn Cream Curry Don $16 - fried prawn, rice, curry sauce, cream, fried onion, lotus root & spring onion

The curry sauce has a slightly thinner consistency and had a unique, almost chocolate like taste from it from the caramelised onions. This is hands down one of my favourite bowls of Japanese curry I've had in Perth.

🐟 Aburi Don $24 - grilled fish (salmon, tuna, prawn & scallop), avocado, lemon, omelet, fish roe, spring onion, onion, snowpea & seaweed

Paige ordered the aburi don - which was a very generous serve! Keep your eyes peeled for the post later this week.

🍣 Grilled Wagyu Roll $22 - crab salad roll and topped with grilled wagyu, fish roe, onion & sauce 
πŸ₯© Beef Tataki $18 - seared beef, yuzu ponzu, mix lettuce & onion
πŸ“ Shop 6B/49 Great Eastern Hwy, WA

What We Ate 🍴

2020 Street Eats

We had a lazy Saturday and ordered take-away from 2020 Street Eats, one of our local go-to places. 2020 Street Eats serve up a number of Malaysian dishes. Photos are (coincidentally) from 2020 (no pun was intended here, I promise πŸ˜…)

🍜 Mee Goreng $11.5 (with egg +$1)
πŸ— Hainanese Chicken Rice $11
πŸ“ 3/41 Burrendah Blvd, Willetton WA 6155

Cherry & Grapes

Cherry & Grape have started trading on Sundays as of April 2022. Though we don't have brunch as much as we used to, Cherry & Grapes rank at the top end of our brunch list. We love their kimchi risotto and their fluffy souffle pancakes (read more here).

I visited with some friends and tried out their weekly special - a steak katsu with a slow cooked blue swimmer crab miso soup.

Mis-Steak Tonkatsu with Crabby Udon Slurp $26.9 - Shio Koji Marinated Steak Katsu, 24hr Slow Cooked Blue Swimmer Crab Miso Dashi Soup, House Pickled Daikon, and a side of Refreshing Salad

Steak katsu isn't as commonly found compared to chicken or pork katsu. All the elements worked well. If I were to order this again, I'd order this with rice as I felt the dish needed something to soak up the tonkatsu sauce. Looking forward to other specials Cherry & Grape have to offer!

πŸ“ 20 Emerald Terrace, West Perth WA 6005 (closely to Kings Park)
