THE LEGENDARY HONEY PEPPER CHICKEN

One of my favourite dishes of all time. Yes there is nothing better that could look like honey pepper chicken, seriously I don't think there is. Well at first glance it may look to the contrary of delicious but trust me it is literal joy for your taste buds and your eyes will be fulfilled each time you come back for more honey pepper chicken.

H.P.C
(I really need to take better food photos)

Hidden in Perth's China town in Northbridge is the Singapore Chinatown Point Chinese Restaurant which unleashes this massive taste attack every night except Wednesdays. Open until 3am, its perfect for the late night food run, or after a fun night clubbing when u get the usual post party munchies.

Honey pepper chicken has a very rich sweet taste, which is very original. The dark sauce is thick and strong in honey flavours with a subtle hint of pepper . The chicken has a generous batter giving it a solid crunchy texture and comes in bite sized proportions. The sauce is a winning combination with white rice, real addicts like me will finish off the left over sauce in this way :). Also if you aren't really feeling chicken you can get Honey Pepper Beef which is also damn good. Other really tasty and popular dishes at the restaurant are Ya POOWWWWW Chicken ( It's actually called that) , Sizzling Tofu, Sambal Kangkong and Peking Spare Ribs. Bookings aren't essential but if the bottom is full they will let you upstairs.

Wednesday Late night Food Run ( Concas, Moon Cafe)

So me and my friends went to the gym on Wednesday night and what better way to counteract our productivity by going on a food run? I had suggested to eat my beloved Honey Pepper Chicken from Singapore Kitchen (review coming soon), however on the way to Northbridge we passed the late night Italian food joint Concas, famous for their chilli muscles, on Albany Highway. The thought of steaming Chilli muscles was to good so we pulled into the carpark.




Concas looks alot bigger on the inside then the outside, as you walk you can see dishes of pasta lade out in the bain maries and the menu lade out in chalk that gives you that italian resteraunt feel. Our Chilli muscles were served attached to the shell and came with spaghetti bolognaise and garlic bread.

We had ordered mild and extra hot chilli muscles (not for the faint hearted especially the day after). The sauce of the chilli muscles had a hearty tomato base with strong herb and spice flavours. The extra hot variation had a firey knockout to it that made me and most of my friends break an awesome sweat that made us use about a tree worth of tissues. You could taste the flavoursome muscles in the sauce however it was not overpowering the tomato base. The sauce was definitely the highlight making you want more and more. The muscles themselves were well cooked and tasted natural although there were some that were not open which we still ate. The spaghetti was also good but nothing impressive. The Garlic bread was well baked being very crispy and had a generous amount of garlic butter. The combination of the chilli muscle sauce and garlic bread made a mouth watering combination as if there was a matrimony of them in my mouth and my taste buds were the celebrants (okay maybe slightly over the top).


I would rate Concas
Food: 8.75/10
Service: 7/10
Atmosphere: 6 out of 10

The chilli muscles are quite legendary and are a definite must try!

After I asked to da bao (cantonese for take away) the left over chilli sauce ( It was to good to go to waste) we headed for Northbridge for something to drink. We ended up at the popular Moon cafe on William street. This was my first trip to the moon so I wasn't sure what to expect.

The interior was dim lighted with cozy booths lined up the side, it gave me vibes of Melbourne cafes. One of the cool features of the restaurant is a large red clock that that emits a red glow that sets a loungey mood.



We ordered milkshakes and a chocolate desert pizza, our gym workout had been futile. My strawberry milkshake was very thick and had delectable flavour, however it wasn't very cold and tasted at room temperature. My friend had a cherry flavoured milkshake that was surprisingly different, I would recommended trying it.



The pizza had a thin base and was coated with chocolate sauce, nuts and whipped cream, ice cream and marshmallows cost extra. The pizza base was crisp at the edges and thin however i felt it had a strong doughy taste. The chocolate sauce wasn't very strong however the nuts added good texture. Overall the pizza tasted just above average.


This picture doesn't really give the pizza justice.

I would rate The Moon Cafe
Food: 6.5/10
Service: 7/10
Atmosphere: 8.5/10

Although the pizza wasn't that great I really enjoyed the very chillaxed feel of the cafe.
