Honey and soy glazed pork belly with ginger and carrot pureeIf I could have one last meal (accompanied with wine of course) before the zombie apocalypse hit, it’d most likely be lunch at RiverBank Estate in the Swan Valley. The menu changes with the season which depresses me a little bit as it means I…
It’s been about 9 months since I was last at Riverbank Estate in the Swan Valley and that’s 9 months too long! On my last visit, I went with a friend so poor Mr. Spittoon has had to deal with food envy (and my raving) for the last 9 months. We finally got ourselves into…

Now that the news is out that I’ve left Perth, it might make sense why I decided to do all 3 meals of the day; breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Swan Valley recently. We were flying at 11:30pm that night (I had only finished up my day job the day before) and we thought…
It’s always one of my favourite nights of the year. It’s a chance to get glammed up and catch up with a lot of the Swan Valley wine producers in the one spot. Not to mention a chance to celebrate the wonderful Swan Valley and its fabulous wines. This years Singapore Airlines Swan valley Wine…
