Run Amuk
Perhaps you’ve heard of Run Amuk before, and if you have, it is probably because of their insanely good hot dog. In fact, they have even been named the home of the best hot dogs in Perth. They have some really cool classic milkshake flavours such as banana, spearmint, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, or strawberry.
However, they also have many other insane flavours such as a Reece’s peanut butter choc shake that is said to be so damn thick, you’ll need a knife and fork to get through it! Make sure you make the effort to come on down and check it out!
