Food in Perth

Food in Perth is great, maddening, exciting and different. Coming from food city that is Melbourne, it's not fair to compare two very different cities. Melbourne has a diverse restaurant culture fed by migrants and larger populations. Perth does somethings so well.

Recommendations
1) Station St Markets - much better selection of fruit and vegetables than any market in Melbourne, including Queen Vic. THough price is questionable. Picked up ciabatta from Lawleys, mum picked up exotic vegetables that are unavailable anywhere in Melbourne such as kaddu and loki.

2) Chilli noodles from IGA. Superb. Imagine noodles, deep fried, coated with chilli powder and tumeric with peanuts and more chilli. Naina loved them. Actually, it has kick started N's penchant for Deepti's chilli tomato pickle. Watching a two year old lick chilli pickle and them make yummy noises is a great way to relax at the end of a long day.

3) Yummy House. Chilli squid/calamari. Green got touched again, but I'd say it was worth it.

4) Cupcakes from Sweet on Cupcake on Waratah Road. Awesomeness, esp chocolate cupcakes.

Avoids
1) Sala Thai in Subiaco. Down hill since last time. Felt like I was eating medicine.

2) Anywhere where we ate fish and chips. D for disappointing.
