Zushibento, Perth

It was on Tuesday, that my cousin and a friend of us decided to have window shopping in Garden City while waiting for Mr D to go back from work. Around 12 pm, we arrived in Garden City, it was quite packed as that day was the first day of school holiday. There were many parents wandered around with their children around the shopping center, while the three of us were looking for food for lunch since we hadn't had breakfast yet. Came to a conclusion that we'd like to eat Zushi Bento, it's a Japanese fast food. There were lots of assorted sushi, bento and udon. For me I ordered... 

Chicken Udon Soup

Yup.. another noodle soup for me as it was very cold in Perth so I had always been craving for a bowl of hot soup. haha. This Chicken Udon Soup tasted great... I think overall taste was more to sweet flavour and I like the fact that the udon was not too soft, it was chewy. As for the chicken, it was fried and the meat was tender and tasty. While my cousin, Miss S, ordered:

Assorted Sushi

Sunday Everyday, Perth

It was a Monday morning, this time I went out with the girls as Mr D had to go back to work again, after a week off hahaha.. Well, the girls and I were having women fellowship and after that we were having lunch in Sunday Everyday, it is a small place which offering Japanese food with a very affordable price, especially with its portion! Their Chicken Karagee is the best seller menu among others, so I ordered one..

Look at that! The portion was real huge that I shared it with my cousin and it costs only $9.50 (which considered very affordable in Perth). It was served with Teriyaki Sauce and mayonnaise which tasted great and I added chilli powder on it. The Chicken Karagee were huge, each of them was almost like the size of a tennis ball, I guess. haha. Oh! we also got free hot tea over there. So I'd say.. if you are looking for a tasty and filling food with cheap price, you must visit Sunday Everyday. Very much like it! :)

Big Bowl, Perth

Well, I still got quite a number of food reviews while I was in Perth.. I guess I need to rush to post it all.. hahaha it was time for dinner and it was freezing outside, I was thinking of having a bowl of hot soup for dinner. Then, Mr D came out with the idea of having Pho (Vietnamese Noodle soup) but too bad when we reached the place, it was closed! So, Mr D suggested me to try Big Bowl instead (just opposite ToTo - the Vietnamese Noodle Bar-). Big Bowl is more to Taiwanese restaurant which serving noodles, kwetiau and rice. They got an unusual noodle which made from oat and they have thin and thick noodles. All of the noodles here are homemade, "it was light and healthy", Mr D said. As we scanned through the menu, we ordered...

Beef Noodle Soup

This Beef Noodle Soup came in a big portion, but for me, I just love the beef, it was tender and fragrant. While the taste of the soup, almost tasteless or too soft I would say.. I need to put soy sauce, chilli and pepper and too bad the noodle was also too soft for me. Overall, I just love the beef :)

Chicken Mushroom Baked Noodle

The Left Bank, Perth

On the next day, we were having breakfast on the other side of Fremantle, it is located on the banks of the beautiful Swan River. The place is called The Left Bank, it's a bar, cafe and restaurant positioned on the shores of the river. This place is one of Mr D's favourite place to have breakkie, he loves the atmospheres and the food there and apparently, it becomes OUR favourite place to dine :)  

Big Breakfast!

Yes! It really was a BIG breakfast, please just forget about calories and just simply enjoy it! hahaha I love their big breakfast, especially the toasts and the bacons.The toasts were crispy yet chewy as well, it became heavenly yummy when you spread it with the butter. As for the bacon, I love it because the fats were thin and it was dried (not oily), it was tasty. Honestly, I love having breakfast here, not only they have a great place but also they got great food too! 

Koko Black, Perth

After finish trying the food in Fremantle Market, we moved to Claremont, it's a shopping center. Mr D brought me to Koko Black, a chocolate salon. Koko black is located in several areas in Australia, in Melbourne they have several shops but during my time in Melbourne, I used to go to Max Brenner more often than Koko Black. Well.. let's just see what Mr D and I were having during the cold weather... :)

Kailis, Perth

Right after eating Dosukoi Ramen , we were very full but Mr D still wanted me to try the fish & chips in Kailis, it was around 10 minutes walk from Fremantle Market. It is located on the waterfront at Fremantle Fishing Boat Harbour. They are serving all fresh seafood but they are very well-known for their fish & chips... so let's give it a try (As we were so full, we agreed that we would order just a portion for share) :p

Dosukoi Ramen, Perth

It's time for ramen now, Mr D told me that Dosukoi Ramen is the best ramen in town. It is located inside Fremantle Market right beside Saint-Honore Macaroon. This stall is really small, the capacity of the stall is only for 15 people so you will have to wait approximately 30-60 minutes to get a seat there. First, when Mr D and I arrived there, we ordered and paid first then they would ask for our phone number and once our seats are available then they will send SMS to your mobile. Anyway, let's see what we got in Dosukoi Ramen...

Chicken Karaage in Soy Sauce Soup

We both ordered Chicken Karaage in Soy Sauce Soup as this is Mr D's favourite choice so I'd like to try it :p. Well, although it didn't look tempting in the picture but I could say that this ramen is really tasty and mild It was served with fried chicken, ear fungus, seaweed, fishcake and chopped spring onions. And the noodle was chewy and not too soft as for noodle I always like it hard. As for the chicken karaage, the meat was tender but too bad it wasn't crispy anymore as they put it inside the soup. Moreover, we also tried their... 

Maison Saint - Honore Macaroon, Perth

This time we were heading Fremantle area for our culinary trip. There are a few places we would like to visit. Let's begin here...

All flavours

It was 10.30 am when we reached Fremantle Market or people usually called it as Freo. It was a busy market I could tell. Unlike any usual market, Freo Market is clean and neat. There are so many various shops which selling souvenirs, unique stuff, nuts, fruits and a lot of food as well. So, Mr D and I began to try these macaroons which located just right beside Dosukoi Ramen. In the morning, you still could get all the flavors but at noon I'm sure you would only get one or two flavors left. Anyway, among all the flavours, I bought only four flavors as I was going to eat ramen and fish & chips as well so I had to left some space in my tummy.. hehehe 

Pink (Rose), Green (Pistachio), Yellow (Manggo), Brown (Mocca)

Honestly, it was so hard to decide which one I want because it's like I wanna try it all. But, I had to choose among all of it and finally my choice were those fours in the picture. 

Ciao Italia, Perth

Never say you have been to Perth if you haven't try Ciao Italia! Well, I think Ciao Italia is the star while I was in Perth. This casual restaurant runs by real Italian family, they are serving the best home style Italian cuisine I've ever tried. Other than pasta, they also have woodfired gourmet pizzas and awesome desserts. 

Seafood Pizza

This woodfired seafood pizza was served hot and they came in a thin base pizza. I liked the fact that they used fresh seafood and tasty mozzarella cheese. One slice of it won't be enough because you will be craving for more.

Fettucini Ciao Italia

This pasta was really really tasty, I really loveeeed it!! This definitely would be my all time favourite pasta ever! It was served with a chicken and sun dried tomato. It came in a big portion, great for two. Other than the cream which was so heavenly tasty, the fettucini was al dente, it was homemade as well. (writing this right now really makes me drooling over it.. T_T)

Dragon Palace, Perth

On the second day, we went to Dragon Palace in Northbridge area to have our breakfast and it's time for Dim Sum! yeayyy... I always love dim sum! And this time Mr D brought me to Dragon Palace (his favourite place for dim sum).. Lucky enough when we arrived, we spotted an empty table in the corner, so we straightaway sat there. Usually during weekend, this restaurant always full and we have to queue for a table for quite a long time. Well.. let's see what we had for our breakfast.. :D

Hakaw

I guess hakaw is a must order dish whenever I'm having dim sum, without it I felt like I wasn't having dim sum..I like hakaw yet it is not my favourite dish. However, I love the hakaw here because the prawns were huge and very fresh. Tasted so perfect when I dipped it into the chilli oil. Yum!

Prawn & Fish Roe Siu Mai

The Cheesecake Shop, Perth

After eating fish head , Mr D and I went to Cheesecake Shop to buy a birthday cake for Mr D's friend. I was so amazed once I entered the shop, there are so many selections of cheesecakes and a few selections of sponge cake and quiches. All of them were so tempting, it's like I want to try it all..!! :p

The cakes!

Mr D told me that there are not many cake shops in Perth so he usually always buy birthday cakes here and his favorite one is the Gold Caramel Mudcake but at that time he wanted to buy something else. And he chose to buy the Caramel Continental Cheesecake.

Caramel Continental Cheesecake (AUD$ 24.95)
