Today's first pearl to be cast is a brief commentary on the growth of prices in the West Perth food court relative to the growth of the share price of the averge West Perth based resources company. 
It would appear that the "Point of Unreasonable Exploitation" has recently been reached where food court businesses are now blatantly attempting to profiteer from the resources boom by charging over the top prices for their wares. This point is well illustrated by recent reviews on this blog where it can be seen that a burger at Jandakot costs $5.50 while a similar burger from the West Perth food court will cost up to $9.50. No apparent quality difference and no better service. Very disappointing.
Today's choice of chicken kebab with cheese ($7.90) was a return to the roots of the Kebab Thursday philosophy. This meal was chosen to refresh my memory as to what the yardstick is all about.
Presentation: Kebabs always fare around the middle of the road here due to the limited amount you can really do with a kebab. This particular kebab was not tightly rolled and proved difficult to eat in the end. It also had a few too many greasy windows for my liking. (6/10)
Size: Always good value for money. The more you pay the more you get - kebab with the lot will give you a lot but also costs a lot. (7/10)
Health factor: Despite the recently posted sign at the kebab shop suggesting the the chicken is low fat I am not convinced. Perhaps chicken is low fat but the bullet shaped hunk of lightly coloured stuff they put on your kebab certainly does not look or feel low fat. (6/10)
Overall: Like a conversation with an old friend, the chicken kebab with cheese brings back lots of memories and is comforting in a non-homo-erotic kind of way. Today's refreshing of the kebab yardstick will be well remembered. (7/10)
