Little Sisto

Little Sisto is one hidden gem located in the middle of the Doubleview suburb. As Gen and I lived in Woodlands, it was really good to see a nice little cafe close to home which was perfect for our catch up over brunch. We arrived just in time for brunch (Brunch is served from 11.30am-3pm) on a weekday and the cafe was not too busy. Little Sisto also has an alfresco dining area, which is currently pending approval to operate from the council of City of Stirling.  It would also be nice to dine and sip a coffee outside under the … Continue reading Little Sisto

Winter at Harvest Espresso

It’s winter and we are back for another round at Harvest Espresso to check out Harvest Espresso’s winter menu. This time I was not so lucky and had to queue for a bit to get a table but that does not matter because it is worth the wait. Anyway, let’s take the queueing out and focus on the food, which is much more important. Dad had the Lamb Meatballs ($22.50) with cumin yoghurt, preserved lemon, apricots, couscous salad and Turkish bread. I had a taste test and it was a hearty and perfect winter’s dish with rustic flavours. The lamb … Continue reading Winter at Harvest Espresso

The Pulp Cafe

Situated opposite Noodle Forum at the Equus Arcade is The Pulp Cafe. If you feel like having coffee after your bowl of noodles, head over to The Pulp Cafe where you can have a nice cup of coffee and perhaps a muffin or banana bread if you still have room in your stomach. Yep, it’s a cafe that’s not hard to miss!   The decor is bright and lovely which gives a welcoming and friendly ambience – a great place to catch up over coffee and have some of their pastries or cookies available. I decided to order a Latte … Continue reading The Pulp Cafe

Harvest Espresso

I have always wanted to give Harvest Espresso a try and finally, my wish was granted. On a Sunday after doing a CXWORX and BodyAttack class in the morning, the family and I decided to visit Harvest Espresso for brunch. Coincidentally, I stumbled upon the Harvest Espresso voucher in the Entertainment Book and decided to use the voucher since it is going to expire in a month’s time. So yes, Harvest Espresso for brunch it was! Harvest Espresso has been the talk of town for a very long time and it is one of the most popular cafes around Perth. … Continue reading Harvest Espresso

Moore & Moore

And so, the adventures to find hidden gems in Fremantle begins again. Another one of the cafes that has been on my wishlist for a while is Moore & Moore. With its mismatched furnitures and vintage decorations, Moore & Moore is one quirky cafe situated in the Moore’s Building at the heart of Fremantle. I had the Smashed New Potato Rosti ($21) which consists of mustard seed, spinach, romano cheese potato rosti topped with a poached egg, avocado, green olive and caper salsa rocket and tomato relish. I fell in love with my dish immediately. The tastiness of the potato … Continue reading Moore & Moore

1982 Espresso

Looking for breakfast on New Years Day in Perth is no easy task. It is hard to tell which places are open and which are closed over the festive season. As we drove along Rokeby Road in Subiaco after New Years Day, we noticed that 1982 Espresso was opened apart from Dome which was down the road. 1982 Espresso takes its home next to Regal Theatre, formerly the home of Brownhaus. As it was the first day of New Year’s, a hearty breakfast is needed to kickstart 2014. We had the Full Breakfast ($21.50) which consists of fried eggs, hash brown, baked … Continue reading 1982 Espresso

Two Rubens Espresso

Fremantle is one place where one can have their very own foodie adventure. Food and coffee lies in every corner of Fremantle, where some of them are definitely worth a visit. As we were walking along the streets in Fremantle, we stumbled upon Two Rubens Espresso. To start off, I had the Pantera Rosa juice ($7.50) which is a mix of watermelon, strawberry, apple mint and lemon. It was a very nice and refreshing drink to start off the day. Pantera Rosa Juice Dad had the Rubens ($15) which consists of either poached or scrambled eggs, short cut bacon, avocado, … Continue reading Two Rubens Espresso

It’s just opposite Chemist Warehouse) Pimlott & Strand is not only a cafe offering good food. It also offers an array of gourmet artisanal-style produce for you to purchase. Feel free to take a browse while waiting for your food or coffee or perhaps if you need to stock up on an ingredient or produce for your pantry!

Foam Coffee Bar

One fine day, I decided to catch up with my friend from high school, Matt whom I have not met in a long time. We decided to catch up for some coffee and cake at Foam Coffee Bar in Leederville. When I arrived at Foam, my usual indecisive me could not decide which of the lovely cakes that I should order. I must admit that all of the cakes do look very tempting indeed. Both of us ordered the mocha. Matt thought that the mocha was just average. What was interesting was that adding some hundreds and thousands on top … Continue reading Foam Coffee Bar

Santi’s

As I usually have my practicum at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital on Tuesdays, I decided to catch up with two of my uni friends, Clara and Tracy for lunch as I have not seen them in a while. So we decided to catch up at Santi’s which is not very far from QEII Medical Centre and the hospital. Being in the area brings back many fond memories of my undergraduate degree where I used to walk along Hampden road with my course mates for lunch before a lab or to hang out after a class. There are many eateries along … Continue reading Santi’s
