Lunch at the "dinky_nerdy_weirdo" Belgian Pub in Perth Western Australia. The "Tucker" is not a spread I am used to, but it was presented really nicely and tasted good. The orange colored stuff on the top was "pumpkin chips" and the rest of my lunch was mixture of minced lamb in eggplant and some chutney and stuff like that. Kathy just asked for a Ham and Cheese sandwich and was presented with something that the cook went beserk with.

Inside a Belgian Pub in Perth Western Australia. The bucket of "Stella Artois" cost me $8.90 and was worth every cent. The way in which the barman prepared this drink was exceptional. Thought it was a bit "nerdy" taking the picture but then again, I do have a "USB Coffee Warmer".
