The ultimate comfort food: Perth's best Char Kway Teow
We can't get enough of the food from this hole-in-the-wall eatery on Angove street. The char kway teow (or as they call it, the C.K.T) is a delicious mess of smoky noodles, bean sprouts and pork sausage.
Thornlie
Located inside the famous foodie destination of Spencer Village, it's got some tough competition for your tastebuds. But with its delicious smoky flavours, there is a good reason this should be on the menu for any Spencer Village visit.

The Penang-style char kway teow is a signature dish at this Malaysian eatery, and when they say it is their most popular fired dish — we believe them. Choose between chicken, beef, seafood, or vegetarian, but just make sure you add it to your order.
Willetton
West Leedy's loss is Willetton's gain as this popular Singaporean and Malaysian eatery has picked up sticks and decamped to the southern suburbs. The char kway teow with tiger prawns, fish cake slices and Chinese sausage remains on the menu along with all the other favs at this restaurant with a cult following.

If I was a deep undercover international spy and needed a discrete meeting place where no one would think to look, Mamak House would be top of the list. What I'm saying is, it's not the most likely location for a rendezvous, or a topnotch Malaysian restaurant for that matter. Luckily, those who know , know that this is a top spot for very very good food including a char kway teow to knock your socks off.

Busy & comfy in New Zealand
In Southland, South Island, Southern Discoveries' new one-hour Te Anau Farm Tour shows guests what life on the land is like. The farm tour includes friendly animals, watching sheepdogs work and a Kiwi-style morning tea. It combines with a two-hour Milford Sound Nature Cruise. It is from NZ$315 per person for the three-hour combination of the two. SOUTH ISLAND On the west coast, in the township of Okarito, Te Wa Whakata is now open, with seven cabins by the Okarito lagoon. This is the biggest untouched wetland in New Zealand, and guests are right in it. NORTH ISLAND In Auckland, the Radisson RED hotel is due to open later this year, with 325 rooms and what will be the city's biggest rooftop bar, called Reattachable Rooftop.

Meltdowns and stares: What I learnt taking kids on a luxury cruise
It's December 25 in Livorno and, like our fellow passengers in Amphora – the a la carte restaurant onboard Windstar Cruises' Star Legend – our family of four is settling in for a fancy Christmas dinner. Dressed in our festive finest, my husband and I sip champagne while our nine- and seven-year-old daughters draw as we wait for our starters to be served. So far, so good on our decision to swap Christmas at home in France for a small-ship Mediterranean cruise. We're on day three of our seven-night sailing from Rome to Barcelona and we have all adapted to the luxuries of life onboard with alarming speed. I wish I could ask Father Christmas for this evermore. That is, until my youngest takes offence when I stop her from taking her cardigan off. In protest, she slams her forehead into her fine-china place setting in front of her, before starting to wail at her usual high volume. The commotion stops conversations around us. A crew member swiftly comes to her side, removing the tableware from her reach. I don't need to look up to see the knowing glances passing between people nearby. My smugness has evaporated, replaced by a blush that quickly deepens: Windstar's minimum age is eight years old, and we've been granted an exception to bring her on the cruise. She is, right now, demonstrating exactly why that limit has been set. While few cruise lines explicitly ban children (Viking and Virgin Voyages being the most notable examples), not all of them offer Disney and Royal Caribbean-style bells and whistles. At the smaller end of the cruise ship scale, Windstar and its like among other premium and luxury lines welcome younger guests (the age limit varies per line) but they don't have any dedicated kids programming as such.
