Jamie's Italian

I remember coming to this place at 10.30 to avoid the queue. There was quite a number of people when I came and it was open at 11 for lunch. I was really excited and can't wait to get in and finally this guy let us in one by one.


 Yes!! Jamie is finally in Perth!

The cutlery that was provided for us. With a basket of Jamie's signature bread not long after that. It tasted fantastic. They also provided us with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. It was heaven.


Here is some of the pictures that I took to show you guys how does it looks like. I don't know why the place just makes you feel like you're in Jamie's home. It is very authentic and classy at the same time. I wasvery impressed.

 We had Cured Meat Plank as the appetizer and it was amazing. First, they put 2 can of Italian tomatoes on the bottom to let the plank sit on it. The cured meats was just delicious with the olive on top of it. I am usually not a big fan of any kind of cheese. But, I must say that the buffalo mozarella and the other cheese with light cracker and chilli jam on it was superb.

Also, we had Crispy Stuffed Risotto Balls and it was awesome. I am not usually a big fan of risotto but this is really good. They have 3 Risotto Balls in each portion with tomato sauce on the side and parmesan cheese on top of it.
We waited for the main dishes for quite a long time maybe around an hour. We're not sure what took them so long but the place was quite packed that day. This is the Jool's Favourite Sicilian Tuna Fusili. I never tried any homemade pasta before so this is my first time. I must say it was really good. I was not really satisfied with the tuna somehow. I feel like it's too fishy and not chunky at all. I love the crunchy herby breadcrumbs on the side of it though. Overall, great pasta!
 Out of all the pastas that we ordered, I must say Wild Rabbit Tagliolini was the best. It was just as what we expected. Great Dish!
This is the Seafood Bucatini. It was nice and saucy. Somehow, the portion is too small for the price though. From the picture you can see there's quite a lot going on but when you open the aluminum foil and start eating it. You will realize that there's not much seafood and pasta and in it.

Overall, I was really satisfied despite the queue and long wait. I will definitely come back again to try more pasta! This restaurant is just pure perfection.

Red Cray Seafood & Grill Restaurant

I went to this restaurant on my brother-in-law's birthday. I was expecting a great seafood experience but I think it was just an average place.

The place was big and cozy. The waiters were really friendly and nice as well. I was really excited when I first see the menu. I was there pretty early which is why there is not much people. But then, later that night, you can see people start coming in.

You will see a giant art piece on the wall of the restaurant. I think it looks really artsy and it really add that feeling that you are in red cray restaurant.

We ordered the executive seafood platter. The difference of the ordinary seafood platter and this one is that it has 1 crayfish in it. Also, the price is more expensive by $40
This giant platter will cost you like 120 bucks. It can actually only serves 2 people but we come in 3 but still hardly manage to finish it.

The first food that came out was the seafood chowder. For me, it is too creamy and cheesy. I am not a big fan of chowder so I don't really quite like it.
 The oysters were really fresh and yummy. With some drops of lemon juice it was just perfect.

 The chips are cooked perfectly. It was crispy and golden with sprinkles of salt and pepper

 The garlic prawn was okay. To me, the sauce is too creamy somehow. The grilled fish was nice with mash potato on the bottom. I love the tartare sauce. It was the perfect texture and taste.
 The crayfish was fine. A little bit overcooked to me but it was okay. The sauce on the top of it just made it perfect.
 The scallops was tasty and juicy with some basil pesto on top. I love it.

This is the least favourite out of all the dishes on the platter. The chilli mussels just tasted odd to me. I can really taste the wine like it is just poured out of the bottle into the mussels. I was not very satisfied.

Overall, I think this is a good restaurant. It was not too classy but it is also not too mediocre. I am not sure I am going to come here again. But I might give it a try again on their crayfish.

Sayers Sister


 I am not usually a big fan of brunch but I am definitely going to come back to this place. There was a long queue when we're waiting to have our table but it's definitely worth it.

We came in a big group of people but we did get our table. Everyone was really satisfied with their food.

 I had the poached eggs and bacon on toasted ciabatta. It was perfection. For people that don't really eat breakfast like me, you will definitely enjoy this dish.

The rustic interior design of the place really makes you feel like you want to stay a little bit longer. It is just a good place to hang out and enjoy the food.People can really feel the vibe of Perth's Lifestyle.
