The roasted meats of Asia are some of the real highlights of the contnient’s cuisine, and if you’re looking to pick up a prime example of them in Perth, then you need to get over to Dainty Dowager in Mount Lawley. They’re easily reached – their location could not be better, as they’re on the main dining drag in northern-central Perth, Beaufort Street – and when you arrive, they’ll be waiting with a huge range of meats that have been roasted in house. Go for the duck on the bone, the crispy roast pork or the char siu barbecue pork – or really pig out and go for all three together, spread between you and your mates.
The roasted meat dishes are what sets the Dainy Dowager apart from other Asian restaurants in Mount Lawley, but they are far from the only draw. There are plenty of well known favourites, from dry-fried bee hoon with prawns and pork, hot and sour steamboat and cured sashimi with ponzu jelly and miso, accompanied by house signatures that are lesser known, such as cola-marinated pork skewers, drunken crispy whole prawns and homemade silken tofu with shiitake mushrooms and oyster sauce. If you’re looking for an Asian restaurant on Beaufort Street, or anywhere north of Perth’s CBD, then you need to give Dainty Dowager a go: you won’t leave disappointed. Well, unless you forget to book ahead and end up not getting a table – so reserve online ahead of time to secure a seat.
