Carly is slowly munching her way through Perth’s café and restaurant scene, sharing her most favourite dinning and food festival experiences with Perth through her Instagram page.
Meet Carly
On a rainy Tuesday afternoon at the Guylian Cafe located along the busy St George's Terrace, I was lucky enough to meet Carly - the writer and voice behind the blog, Perth Munchkin. By day, Carly works in finance for a company along the busy business precinct of St George's Terrace. However, at night you will find Carly enjoying a plate of pasta or pizza at one of her most favourite Italian restaurants Lulu La Delizia, in Subiaco.
Carly refers to her blog - Perth Munchkin - as a hobby and “a diary of sorts”, where she is able to look back at her year and reminisce about her most favourite cafe and restaurant experiences. For Carly, her blog allows her to share her love for food. She explains: “I enjoyed writing... a record of what I have done... and really love taking photos”. She is always sharing aesthetically-pleasing and indulging images on her Instagram account.
Perth’s Café Culture
In Carly’s opinion, Perth’s café culture has taken a recent focus on WA produce, with venues working closely with local farmers and producers to give a “Vibrant, Fresh and Unique” touch to the quality and service of food produced. A tough decision to make, Carly's current top pick for breakfast is the Mary Street Bakery; lunch at Lulu La Delizia; and dinner at A Fish Called Inglewood
A Food Diary of the Best Kind
Carly shared the story where she was lucky enough to take part in the Gascoyne Food Festival in Carnarvon. Never having travelled up to this part of WA, Carly reminisced about her experience, saying the Festival “showcased how special that region is in WA". Carly says that this was one of her most favourite blogs to write about, as she was able to experience a completely new side to Western Australia’s produce and ‘outdoor’ dining experience. She further describes how the event organisers “bought a whole bunch of chefs up to Carnarvon, to cook with the local produce”, creating an authentic touch to the overall experience of travelling to Carnarvon and seeing the local produce first hand.
