Spencer Village Food Court, Perth
June 23, 2008 | Filed Under Food, Food Review, Photography, Places
This is Spencer Village Food Court, located at 200 Spencer Road, Thornlie, Perth WA. This is my first food review in this blog, so don’t bitch.
This is the inside view of Spencer Village. There are basically lots of seats, enough to cater for hundreds of patrons.
This is what we had for drinks, bought from Panda Cafe near the entrance. The good old Pokka Green Tea, never too sweet or too bland. Healthy (I believe), and is reasonably priced at AUD$1.70 (there was a 20 cents increase recently, I noticed).
Curry Laksa from Penang Cuisine. Not Sarawakian version of Laksa, definitely. Comes with a mixture of yellow noodle and vermicelli unless instructed otherwise. Springy noodles, not too spicy (mild), lack of ingredients. Measly amount of chicken pieces and two (2) pieces of prawns were found in the curry. The sambal (chilli) was good though. Price increased by 30 cents to AUD$6.80, I believe. Still reasonably priced. L, my girlfriend, didn’t quite like her meal, so we agreed to swap our food.
The Two Meat Combination Rice from Penang Cuisine is definitely not as tasty when compared to any local Malaysian hawker stall, but still good for Perth’s standard. The BBQ Pork tasted great, but the Roasted Pork seemed to lack that extra something. The rice was alright and the best thing about the chicken rice is the chilli. Priced at AUD$7.20, I believe. Not too bad for its price due to its large serving. L seemed to enjoy this more than her Curry Laksa.
We decided to have a try of Fook Kee’s Chicken Feet, priced at AUD$4.50. Large serving, huge feet, and we both liked it. We still prefer the spicy versions of Chicken Feet though. This one was the salty type.
These are assorted Kuihs (Malaysian term for Cake) home-made by Straits Cuisine, besides their other Kuihs such as Siew Pao, Ham Chee Peng, and more. The Kuihs were nothing much to shout about. Not exactly the same as the real deal in Malaysia, but still not bad and reasonably priced at around AUD$3.50.
I had an extra cup of medium-sized Soya Bean drink priced at $2 from Panda Cafe. I believe they made the Soya Bean themselves. Tasted pretty healthy, although I prefer it sweeter. Panda Cafe also sell other local Malaysian desserts and drinks and also bubble tea, including Chendol, Ice Kacang, and even Durian Smoothie.
Spencer Village Food Court opens Wednesdays to Sundays, and there are currently 12 food stalls operating, not including Panda Cafe.

Looking at the stewed chicken feet at 2 in the morning sure makes me hungry. I wonder if anyone ever tried making stewed turkey feet instead…. must be die-hard poultry feet lover! Now I know where to go for Malaysian hawker style fare in Perth. Thanks dude.
Geralds last blog post..Amsterdam 1
Greaty foody pictures
It all look great… but CHICKEN FEET?!?!? What do those taste like? It seems like they’d be… gross. 
This coming from a girl who tried Kei-go-gi (dog meat) while in South Korea….
NICE MACRO SHOTS!!
perfect lighting, nice angle. 
LOVEIT!
To the food: pretty much the same price as is Adelaide - although I am certain we get more meat from at BBQ City for their BBQ Pork + Crispy Pork (?) rice.. I have only been to Chinatown like 10 times since I came here.. Too lazy to go so far when Glenelg town is just across the road from my place.
Plus, good view of the beach.
ehons last blog post..Razor or Cream?

Wow, there’s food court in Perth! Couldn’t find this kind of place in NZ, despite being ’sisters’ with Australia.. aiks!! :/
@Gerald - LOL to that. Turkey feet. That is more like one sick guy with a feet fetish =P No problems and thanks for the link!
@Jenny Z - Haha, the taste is quite hard to explain. It’s sorta like eating yummy fats and skin, but the taste of the feet is simply unique. I’m not really a fan of chicken feet, but I don’t really mind having it occasionally with my family.
Kei-go-gi. Doubt I’ll ever touch that one, lol.
@ehon - LOL. That’s way too much praise for my first attempt. I actually thought very little of the shots, but thanks =) Wow, you stay near the beach! Would die to live anywhere near the beach.
@Jo Ann - Hey =) Never expected a comment from you. Wow, I’m actually the first person to introduce you to the food court? And you think of me too? I’m flattered. heh.
@ingchia - Hello my neighbouring “sister” from NZ. That’s really sad that there’s no food courts in NZ! :S But I’m sure they have other stuff that we don’t have here.. such as.. er..
