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.

Blown Away

So not really a restaurant, but definitely worth a mention. Potato tornadoes are a craze that have been hitting Perth for some time (My research hasn't been that deep, so no exact time for you) and are a stall food- like something you buy at a market. Exactly something you'd buy at a market actually.

A market like Fremantle's (already mentioned previously in the Ramen post) is the most consistent place where you can get your hot little hands on these twisty delicious snacks.

You might be thinking "gimmick" at this point, and I don't blame you. The unique look of the potato tornado is most certainly half of its draw, but the other half has to come down to flavour. Nowhere have I tasted seasoning like that which has been sprinkled on these spirally wonders. The flavours range from Salt, BBQ, Cheese, Chilli to name a few and they would all go perfectly well with normal, non-dizzying, potato chips.

But that isn't to say the "tornadoey" potato isn't fried just right, with just the right texture, flavour and fun factor. Because it is, oooh yeah. These babies cost $7 for two sticks worth, but a little bargaining can surely reduce that price- just don't tell them I told you.
