Jaws Town Hall

It was a maximum of 38 degrees today and we have so far experienced the hottest November month ever recorded in Perth’s history. Summer has definitely come early this year and it could be tough to walk under the hot midday sun to visit some of the heritage buildings around the city. It is the Heritage Week on today and tomorrow and we have first visited the City Farm in East Perth before catching the free Yellow Cat bus to the central city for lunch.

We initially wanted to have noodle in this Japanese restaurant called Nao along the Murray Street but it wasn’t open for lunch. We have seen many people dine in there last night when we walked past the place after the city’s Turning Christmas Light On Ceremony. So we had to changed our plan and go to the nearby newly opened Jaws sushi restaurant opposite the Town Hall.

It was a relieve walking into that outlet with their air-conditioning turned on full blast. I haven’t had that feeling for a long time as we don’t need it during previous colder months. We checked out their menu and found out that it was not costly plus we could hardly walk any further without first filling our stomach under that intense heat.

Being newly opened, it has squeaky clean interior with a wall hung TV broadcasting Japan promotional video. All the staff are Japanese and we were happy to see that because it means they would provide authentic Japanese cuisine. Japanese have always been well known for the dedication and passion they put into preparing their meals.

I couldn’t stop looking at the TV with scenes of Japanese places, people and culture. It made me almost feel like booking air tickets to fly to there instantly. The hot midday sun and my stomach’s craving for food may have caused illusion in my head. Pulling myself back to earth, we ordered two meals: a small Teriyaki Salmon with rice and a Bento Set.

Bento Set

For a price tag of only $6.50, the Teriyaki Salmon was indeed value for money. It’s portion is big enough for my wife. And my Bento Set was simply wonderful with Salmon Sashimi, Tempura Prawn, Deep Fried Chicken, Beef Tataki and Teriyaki Chicken for only $19.50. As we have expected, the food tasted authentic and delicious. The service was superb, the floor manager even gave our 3 year old daughter a chocolate bar for free. We would definitely go there again for their quality food and excellent service. Jaws Town Hall is located right opposite the Perth Town Hall at Hay Street.
