Meetings over lunch

All work-related meetings should be done over lunch, especially if it is a meeting which the parties dread, for example, performance reviews.

We did exactly that; a semi-formal meeting where discussions about career progression took place over delicious food (and a glass of wine or two) at The Olive Tree Restaurant.

 

 Chicken Schnitzel with Seeded Mustard and Cheese Sauce and Fries

The Olive Tree Restaurant may look like a tiny, cramped cottage from the outside, but inside, it is spacious and its decor provides such a good ambiance. There is definitely more space out the back for larger groups (and even wedding receptions). The food has always been delicious and it is a good lunch spot for something different than the usual grub from the food courts.

Why not check out the menus when you plan your next luncheon? They have set menus and also serve dessert!

Lunchtime!

I discovered a new lunch spot since my return to West Perth last year (courtesy of a friend's recommendation) and I have been frequenting this place each time I crave chicken rice.

Tucked behind an alleyway, Noodle Inn is actually quite difficult to locate. If you do not pay attention, you can easily walk past the entrance.

The meals are not cheap but they taste good and your meals are served within 5 minutes! Perfect for those who do not have long lunch breaks. Just one word of caution though - this place gets really packed!

 

Chicken Rice! 

This is my absolute favourite. Yes, I know the restaurant's name might just suggest that the noodle dishes are more popular, but it is difficult to get good chicken rice in Perth and I think Noodle Inn makes decent chicken rice.

 Curry Laksa! 

Finally, I went out of my comfort zone and ordered something different. It isn't the Penang style 'assam laksa' though and I consider curry laksa as curry noodles but it's still better than nothing! The only thing was I felt really thirsty when I was back at work. I wonder if it was the MSG or it was just a very hot day...
