Introduction

 Hello and welcome to Perthectly Moist Provisions.


You are probably here because you came from my instagram page, and if so then you probably already know what I'm all about because based off number of followers, it is an extremely unsuccessful page that is definitely not viewed by many people I don't know in real life.


The purpose of this blog is really just to capture some of my thoughts on a selection of restaurants in longform, because I like to keep things as minimal as possible on instragram. I won't be rating anything numerically on this page, because I'm not a trained food critic and I feel it's too simplistic to boil down everything into a single number; ultimately everyone will have a different experience based on their background and experience, so I'm just here to talk about mine.

There will be no structure or recurring topics, it's just going to be a freestyle of my thoughts onto a page with very minimal proofreading. It's not even going to be in chronological order, but if it's from yonks ago then I'll mention that in the post.


I'm starting this blog because after 14 years of social netball and breaking everything that can be broken, injuries have finally taken their toll and I have been forced into retirement. I also look at spreadsheets every day at work which I actually enjoy, but I do need some kind of creative outlet so I don't turn into a robot. Plus I have a little one to be responsible for, so it's probably a good time to move back into safer hobbies like writing.


Finally let me quickly explain the title of the blog. It captures two of my favourite things:

1. Bad puns
2. The word "moist".


Enjoy.

Haku

Haku is the best Japanese dining in Perth, and I don’t think it’s particularly close. You can stop reading here if you want, that’s basically a summary of the following 1,500 words. Set in a publicly undisclosed location in Carlisle with no markings on the shopfront and curtains drawn the entire time, the restaurant is only open to up to 6 people each evening (a significant increase from the 2 people per night when it first opened), with bookings only able to be done if you slide into their Insta DM’s. The menu is a mystery, the price is not fixed and there are no other staff members outside of the chef. For Simpsons fans, right now this may be eliciting memories of secret society aka the Stonecutters, but unlike Homer and unfortunately for us, the Stonecutters were significantly easier to infiltrate as this place is booked out for the rest of 2023. And you thought Marumo was difficult to book? Please, there’s a new champ in town. So what on earth happened when we went? We were wa...

江川居 Egawa-ya

Egawaan was one of the main reasons I started this blog and got back into writing, because it was simultaneously good whilst also being incredibly frustrating. Photos on my instagram A few years ago before COVID was a thing, my wife and I went on a food tour in Japan. And by "food tour" I don't mean the kind where you book a tour through a travel agency, I'm talking about planning our own itinerary based off our restaurant bookings and travelling around the markets in search of the freshest sashimi and beef. I had a steak so nice in Takayama that it brought literal tears to my eyes.  So after months of trawling through the Egawaan instagram page, seeing them air freight their beef and other produce direct from Japan, we had high expectations. And as you should at $160 per person. The beef on the page always look incredibly mouth watering and whilst I knew it was extremely unlikely, there was a small part of me that was hoping that I would be shedding those tears like ...
