30 Jun - Positano Restaurant, Northbridge

Stan's birthday this year was at Positanos in Northbridge.

For starters, I had the arancini balls. I wasn't a big fan of them to be honest, the deep fried crispy coating was softened by the tomato sauce. There wasn't a whole lot of meat in them either (these were advertised with meat). Two giant meatballs would've been better for me.

For mains, I decided to try the slow roasted pork belly, served with sauteed potatoes, vegetables and an apple sauce. The skin was a little crackly but nothing like a slab of Cantonese BBQ pork. The meat underneath was succulent and soft, but the very bottom was a little overdone. The potatoes were well seasoned, and crispy, but a litle dry.

The positano menu boasted that their tiramisu was "the best in Perth". I decided to try it, and unfortunately, it's the not the best tiramisu in Perth. There wasn't a whole lot of coffee flavour, the thick chocolate sauce was much more prominent.
