LOL... It does seem strange, but that Robert Burns hotel has been around for a long long time, It's only been doing Spanish food for the last 15 years I'd say.

RSL's and local rugby clubs are the only reason people give it the old 'dollar for pound' rubbish, at least as far as eating out is concerned. gotta say, bloody good food though, and a wednesday night down the Steelers club steak meal and 5 schooners $15. Elsewhere I find expensive to be honest
I ''secretly'' quite enjoyed a counter meal there watching football. (League).I'd say we eat out more, and it is cheaper.

My fave NOR is still Mullalloo Beach Hotel. Great food, great restaurant (by Perth standards
)

I think, like most restaurants, it depends when you catch them. I got a take away from Kabalason on Sunday. Prawn Kashmiri. It was lovely. I can't remember whether it was like a UK curry or not but I enjoyed it.

)I have eaten at Mullaloo, but the dish i got was not too good, but i would go again and try something else. I like the restaurant in general, especially with the pub next door.

No, its not an inedible part, they just tenderize the normal parts with Baking powder or other chemicals, so it dissolves in your mouth.
Apparently some people like that. I'm with you, I hate the way every kind of meat is tenderized.
Really not a fan of chinese food here, unless I can find a chinese place that doesn't "tenderize" the meat.

Re: Do folk eat out less in Aus?
We went to a place called Hobsons in Sandringham for the Sunday lunch I referred to-not one other customer the whole time and then drove by a number of other places along the bayside during the week-max 2 tables full at most. Walking around Port Melbourne on a Monday lunchtime-very quiet everywhere & the pub we had planned on going was shut Mondays. Looked in at a pub we saw online & thought looked good in Collingwood-only 2 customers. Just seems v quiet wherever we go-but then could just be because there's 1/4 of the population we're used to in London...

Mrs JTL, who is from China, says Vancouver has the best chinese cuisine outside of China.
And secondly, in Australia, the best , tastiest, authentic Chinese cuisine is served in The JTL Kitchen, and cooked by the ever modest Mrs.

I have to say you're factually incorrect on 2 points.
