The Food Foundry

I visited this restaurant with my family at 6.30pm on a Sunday night. First up, this restaurant doesn’t offer table service, which is rather surprising for a licenced restaurant offering a multi course menu. The individual options under each course are a bit limited however, most dishes had a deep fried component, was heavily overpriced and many menu options were unavailable as they had sold out. They had run out of matcha powder, pork knuckle (after the owner had recommended us try this dish), and they ended the night unable to serve the yuzu trifle and we had to ask for a refund. Their instagram and Facebook shows a lot more food options than what is actually on their menu, when I posted an enquiry on their Facebook page I did not receive a response at all. The food came out quickly and flavours weren’t bad however table service was lacking and inattentive, with empty water bottles and plates sitting around for 10−15minutes. Overall found this place very underwhelming, would not recommend.

Went there on Friday night not to impressed with the price wise to expensive for pop up restaurant over priced for soft shell crab bao and steak burger is good but to expensive $ 21 ummmm this will be a hit and run if they don’t reduce their prices good luck.

Another great night hosted by the lovely Jonas from The Don Fuzion (Don Burgers) on his new food venture at The Food Foundry.
An incredible atmosphere — very spacious. And tables to also do hot pots. The staff are amazing and super friendly! Made us feel very welcome — loved that they came and spoke to us and asked for feedback.
Looking forward to seeing what else this Fuzion place will have to offer when they officially open next week :)
p.s — yuzu panna cotta was on point ;)

Last night we went to the Food Foundry to be treated by Jonas Cheah from Don Fuzion to their new menu.
Who hasn’t heard about the crispiness of corn crunch chicken from the Don Burgers? We had the joy of trying the famous chicken as part of the Matcha Baoger (yes, Matcha Burger). The baoger was very memorable because the dough for the bun was mixed together with a premium matcha powder which resulted in its green colour. I think I could eat the bun by itself due to the sweet taste.
The Matcha Baoger was one of the interesting items in the menu that The Food Foundry cooked for their customers. Although before that our taste buds were deliciously tested by two items from their Summer Menu.
The first one was Thai Seafood Cocktail with prawn, calamari, cut up crab sticks and vermicelli. This dish was fragrant, really refreshing and perfect for summer especially when you’re looking for something to eat during a really hot day. If you like the taste of tom yum, you will really enjoy this dish.
Crab Meat Croquettes made their entrance in front of our eyes afterwards. Just by looking at it we knew that the crumbs covered croquettes would be crispy. This one was a combination of crab meat, snow pea sprouts, lemon paprika mayo and mango salsa.
For the rest of the night we were spoilt with share platters of Vietnamese slaw with soft shell crab, Pork Knuckle and Xiang Chang (Taiwanese sausage). The sausage was similar in taste with lap cheong but it was more tender and plump. The sweetness was really tasty when mixed together with saltiness of pork knuckle. The tantalising knuckle skin was deep golden brown in colour and so crispy.
The Vietnamese fresh slaw was drizzled in traditional Vietnamese’s nuoc mam pha sauce and served together with soft shell crab. This dish will be so perfect to be shared around in group.
Dessert was Yuzu Trifle which was served in a transparent glass as you can see from the above image. Martin (@Morsels_Perth) informed me straight away that there was some hidden cubes of chocolate brownies in between (yay!).
The surprise dessert of the night came from the new flavour of crêpe cake which was caramel macchiato. Those who had been to the Don Burgers will easily recall the goodness of their durian and matcha crêpe cake. The new flavour had the same texture which contained layers of very thin smooth crepes stacked on top one another and this really made the cake really easy to enjoy.
The Food Foundry offered a new concept to the Perth’s eating scene by introducing a pop up place that can house different vendors in it. Vendors who are interested can send a message directly to
. The soft opening will be on Wednesday (shhh) while the ‘official’ opening day will be on Friday the 4^th of December.
