Burgers to play at Ya Ya’s

Yes! That is correct. Another Burgers gig is approaching. It will be on Friday 18th November at Ya Ya’s in Northbridge. It’s going to be awesome, with the wonderful Mitey Ko and lovely The Love Birds playing also. This is one of the few gigs Burgers will be playing this year, so we really hope you can make it down and help make it a great night. It starts around 8pm and costs a mere $8 to get in.

All these details and more can also be viewed in convenient poster form here.

Pete’s Ten Signs of Promise for a Malaysian Restaurant in Perth

A soloThis laksa was exactly as good as it looks lunch-time sojourn to Ten-Ten’s Kitchen in East Vic Park prompted a review of the various indicators of quality for Malaysian cuisine in a western city. So with the delicious taste of laksa still in his mouth, here’s Pete’s ten signs of promise for a Malaysian restaurant in Perth:

  1. Abrasive maitre d’ barks orders at you on entry
  2. Limited English
  3. Incomprehensibly fast service (tacit to “100 year” laksa pot out back)
  4. No skimping on the egg and bottomless refills of bean sprouts and chilli
  5. Spelling mistakes on menus (such as “BYO wine $4 cockage”)
  6. Yeo’s Soy Bean Drink
  7. Vinyl / no table cloths; outdoor furniture
  8. Laksa blindness sets in on exiting
  9. Next door to one or more other Malaysian restaurants
  10. Cash only

Gig! Gig! Gig!

Well I’m not sure how many people other than the other Burgers will see this, but, hey, it’s kind of just a test anyway.

Burgers will be playing a set at Mission Australia’s Mind Field – Mental Health Week Event.
