For Jac’s birthday this year, I booked us a couple of nights at the Crown Metropol, formerly the Intercontinental Hotel, at Crown Perth, formerly known as the Burswood Entertainment Complex. The package I booked under was called Meet me at the Metropol and included valet parking and buffet breakfast at the Atrium Buffet each morning.

Our room was a Luxe View King on the fourth floor, with views of the hotel’s sparkling blue resort-style pool, with the city skyline and Swan River beyond. I took this photo pointing my camera through the window of our room. An inviting sight.

The room was spacious and tastefully furnished, with a plasma TV, desk, and a bathroom with separate shower with rain shower head and bath tub behind a sliding opaque screen.

On one of the bedside tables was an iPod docking station (not compatible with iPhone 5 though). Power points were easily accessible for charging of our electronic devices.

Sadly, in-room internet access in top Australian hotels is rarely free or cheap, and at Crown Perth, wireless internet incurs a fee of AU$29 per device per night. Not enticing value, so we stuck with the 3G internet on our mobile devices.

The mini bar was well stocked, with standard mini bar prices. Above the bar fridge in a drawer were tea and coffee-making facilities. No freezer in the bar fridge, but an ice bucket was provided, which we could fill ourselves from an ice machine on the next floor.

We enjoyed drinks at the Lobby Lounge bar on the ground floor. Jac ordered a Long Island Ice Tea (AU$18), made with Smirnoff Black vodka, Jose Cuervo Silver tequila, Havana Club Anejo Blanco rum, Martin Miller West Street gin, Cointreau, lemon and lime juice and Coke. I ordered a mocktail called a Tingle (AU$10), made with orange juice, Grenadine, lime and Sprite, garnished with a wedge of fresh pineapple. A fabulous way to toast a leisurely weekend away from home.

We ate at Nobu on Friday night and The Merrywell on Saturday. On a walk through the Crown Perth complex on Saturday night after dinner, we popped into a cafe called Cotta, located inside the casino, where Jac had an iced mocha, I had a soy flat white and we shared a very blingy tiramisu – it wasn’t bad, but I think I prefer a more home-style, more fluffy, less pretty, less cakey version).

It’s a good little spot to temporarily escape the bustle of the casino without actually needing to step outside the building. In addition to coffee, tea and milkshakes, there’s a selection of sweet and savoury snacks including pastries, toasties, baguettes, muffins, cookies, cakes and whoopie pies.

But one of our favourite features of staying at Crown Metropol Perth was that fabulous pool.

There’s drinks, snacks and more substantial meals available at the Poolside Bar and Grill. You place your orders at the bar and waiters will deliver your food and drinks to you wherever you’ve set up camp. One thing they could improve on – there could be more tables for people at the sun lounges to use. I wouldn’t be happy having to eat my $20 club sandwich or burger balanced on my lap, as many around the pool seemed to be. And the drinks aren’t cheap either, so I’d rather not kick mine over by accident because I didn’t have a table to place it on. Another thing to note: the sun lounges are first come, first served and free to use (so get in early) but daybeds and poolside pods have to be booked in advance – a fee applies.

Cocktails and mocktails by the pool… perfect for a scorcher of a day.

Jac was disappointed the water slide is just for kids aged 12 and under.

The Poolside Bar and Grill has seats undercover, foosball and pool tables, with ceiling fans overhead.

We had gorgeous weather for our weekend.

I can just imagine our cats curling up in this.

The other highlight of our stay was breakfast. Jac especially loves a good buffet and it’s a feature that contributes to our choosing a hotel. The buffet at the Atrium is extensive, featuring an array of international dishes.

Breakfast fry-up fare – sauteed potatoes, button mushrooms, hash browns and bacon. There’s also scrambled and fried eggs, baked beans and sausages.

Indian curries – eggplant and dhal, pappadum and flatbread

Asian-style items – stir-fried Chinese leafy vegetable, fried dim sims, samosas and noodles

I was very excited to see a congee (rice porridge) station, complete with all the trimmings such as deep-fried crullers, fried garlic and shallots and fried anchovies. Unfortunately, the congee itself was watery and bland and I didn’t finish my bowl. Next to the congee was miso soup with seaweed strips, tofu and spring onion.

I had to try some of that eggplant curry and dhal with flatbread. And stir-fried noodles. And a steamed BBQ pork bun from the dim sum station.

Breakfast, round 1. I ordered a soy flat white which cost AU$3.50 extra. Filter coffee and tea are available as part of the buffet.

But the Hainanese chicken rice is the buffet dish that made me the happiest. Not as good as Tak Chee House, but a decent rendition in the absence of ‘real’ hawker food. The chicken was moist, the rice a little dry but surprisingly flavoursome. The chilli sauce had a good bite but that minced ginger was a cracker – dangerously addictive.

Cakes and pastries. There are different breads available too, as well as pancakes and a waffle station.

On our final morning, Jac was excited to see prawns and oysters at the buffet. Leftovers from the dinner shift, perhaps? She began her Sunday with three plump oysters dressed with a pink vinaigrette.

While Jac attacked oysters and Caesar salad, I enjoyed a 2-part breakfast, starting with a fry-up with croissant, orange juice and cup of tea…

Fry-up

…followed by more Hainanese chicken rice (what can I say, I’m hopelessly addicted to chicken rice) and noodles. And a very meaty fried dim sim. No need for lunch that day! Of course, if you prefer a simpler breakfast, there’s fruit, muesli, yoghurt and cereal. But why pay for a buffet just to eat cereal?

The photographs in this post depict only some of the buffet. There’s plenty to suit all tastes and appetites.

We arrived after 3pm for check-in on Friday afternoon and checked out on Sunday morning. Despite having multiple check-in points, there was a very long queue waiting to check-in when we arrived. When we finally made it to the front of the queue, the staff member who checked us in warned there can be a queue at check-out time too – he recommended we use the express check-out to skip the queue, which we did.

We stayed at the Holiday Inn years ago at the Burswood Entertainment Complex and had a great time relaxing, checking out the casino (we’re not serious gamblers but enjoy the atmosphere), dining at different restaurants and going for walks around the grounds, all of which we did again this time. Staying at the Crown Metropol was not cheap, but Jac was absolutely stoked with her birthday weekend – so for me, it was worth every cent. The staff we encountered at valet parking, check-in and around the hotel were courteous and friendly.

It was such a shame to leave the 5-star luxury and carefree holiday lifestyle behind to return to reality and the start of another working week.

The Merrywell has brought dude food to Crown Perth. It’s simultaneously comforting and indulgent: salty verging on over-seasoned, deep-fried and gloriously fatty, more suited to being eaten with fingers than cutlery.

It’s a trendy pub with striking looks, plenty of dark timber and the warm glow of orange lamps. There are beers on tap, a sprawling beer garden and bright fruity cocktails available in 1-litre jars. It’s an appealing watering hole but the style of service at The Merrywell will be irksome to many diners, especially considering the prices. Waiters clear dishes and deliver food, but it’s up to you to line up at the designated area under a neon sign to order and pay for your food, and it’s also up to you to get your drinks at the bar and carry them to your own table. You’ll need someone in your party to remain at the table to ensure you don’t lose it (Malaysians and Singaporeans, someone must “chope” the table!).

On hindsight, we should have gotten the drinks first, then food. The bar was three or four-deep and moved at snail’s pace; so slow, in fact, that the first dish arrived before Jac made it back with our first round of drinks.

Take bite-sized portions of a comfort food classic, coat them in crumbs and deep-fry them. Voila, Mac & Cheese Bites. They’re served with a tangy House HP dip.

Mac & Cheese Bites with House HP Dip (AU$15)

The cheese was melted and stretchy but there was more Mac than Cheese, making the bites quite dry and not as gooey or molten hot inside as we’d have hoped. Still, they’re very easy to eat.

The Merrywell Chips are skin-on potatoes, roasted, ‘ripped’ into rough wedges by hand, then deep-fried to dark and crunchy on the outside (still fluffy on the inside), seasoned well and served with bacon aioli. Like the Mac & Cheese Bites, we forgot about forks and dug in with fingers.

The Merrywell Chips – crisp ripped potatoes, bacon aioli (AU$15)

This is the taste of pleasure and guilt – crispy bacon chunks in a creamy, paprika-spiced sauce that will make you fret about your diet and joke about the food babies in your belly. Next time I’m at a pub eating potato wedges with sour cream, I know I’ll be secretly pining for bacon aioli.

I’m a big fan of salty-sweet combos – I have raved about Toast’s corn fritters and bacon with maple syrup and The Milkbar by Cafe Ish’s miso caramel milkshake and I’m a proud serial dipper of fries in my McDonald’s hot fudge sundae. But for me, this twist on the soul food classic of fried chicken and waffles didn’t get the salty-sweet balance quite right.

Fried chicken and red velvet waffles with Killer Bee honey (AU$28)

There were four pieces of chicken on the plate. The batter was a fried chicken lovers’ dream – golden-brown, craggy and crunchy – but the heavy glaze of honey, topped with real honeycomb would be heavenly on buttery crumpets, not fried chicken. “But you like Chinese honey chicken,” Jac said quite reasonably. “What’s different about this honey chicken?”

Usually when we eat honey chicken, we’re eating it with savoury items like fried rice. But instead of a savoury accompaniment, the beautifully deep red chocolate waffles were also sweet and dusted with icing sugar, dolloped with lemon cream and drizzled with honey. The honey, gorgeous as it was, touched everything on the plate, and the chicken was dripping with it. After just a few mouthfuls, I found the sweetness overwhelming. It wasn’t savoury-sweet at all; just sweeeeeeet.

Red velvet waffles

Jac ordered the BBQ “JD & Coke” Ribs, Mexican corn on the cob, watermelon (AU$36). The two Flintstonian racks stood tall and proud on the plate, with meat that fell easily off the bones.

BBQ “JD & Coke” Ribs, Mexican corn on the cob, watermelon (AU$36)

Smothered in cheese and spices, the Mexican corn on the cob is a substantial snack on its own. And who needs salad when you can have a wedge of watermelon instead? Again, there’s no need for cutlery.

Mexican corn on the cob

We were looking forward to trying one of the desserts in a jar, but by the end of our meal, Jac was too full and I felt like I’d already eaten dessert, thanks to the too-sweet chicken and waffles.

The Merrywell entrance. There’s another entrance through the casino.

The Merrywell doesn’t take bookings. We anticipated and avoided the pain of waiting by eating early. We ordered the Mac & Cheese Bites from the All Day menu before 5pm, then ordered the rest of the meal after 5pm once the menus were switched over to Dinner. It’s not so unusual these days for a restaurant to not take bookings, but The Merrywell makes this even more frustrating by having no one at the door assigned to the crucial role of greeting and managing the arrivals. This “sit where you like” approach becomes an issue during busier times because a good start to your evening is largely reliant on the sensibility and courtesy of your fellow diners… as well as luck. Some like a gamble and Crown Perth is a casino after all, but getting the service right will save diners unnecessary hassle.

By the time we were halfway through our meal, new arrivals were circling and hovering, desperately seeking a free table, shamelessly coveting ours.

Being forced to turn up without a booking and wait for a table is something many Perth diners still object to, and this is the worst way to (not) manage it. I’ll be interested to know if The Merrywell persists and succeeds with this free-form style of seating.

With all the buzz around town about Perth’s hot new dude food pub I had really looked forward to dining at The Merrywell, but it wasn’t quite love at first bite. I’m prepared to give it another go with another early dinner – I don’t have the patience to join the table stalkers at 7pm. It’s clear that a lot’s been invested to bring The Merrywell to Perth; it would be a shame if the seating/service issues are allowed to drag it down.
