Revisiting Mrs S

After our spontaneous trip to Swan Valley without making a booking for Father’s Day, our lucky last alternative was Mrs S. I have been to Mrs S before and it has been a while since my last visit. We arrived just after the peak lunch hour and managed to score ourselves a table. YAY! What I have noticed was that Mrs S has a Brunch menu until 3pm which is awesome and definitely leaves you with plenty of choices to choose from. The menu has also changed a bit since my last visit but that’s alright, it’s always good to … Continue reading Revisiting Mrs S

Architects and Heroes

From Instagram, Facebook to Urbanspoon reviews, Architects and Heroes have been gaining popularity for their food, coffee and cakes. Since it’s opening a few months back, this local cafe in Subiaco is currently the talk of the town.  If you are a coffee aficionado, I highly recommend you to check out Architects and Heroes. We arrived early at Architects and Heroes for brunch (I do hear that it can be quite crowded as the cafe is compact). We were given a seasonal menu and an all day menu to choose from. It’s really great to see cafes doing seasonal menus to … Continue reading Architects and Heroes

Chapter 88

Ciao Italia is a household name to many in Perth and a local institution for Italian cuisine. The end of last year marks Ciao Italia’s new venture, Chapter 88, strategically located at Broadway Shopping Centre, near UWA. And no, this is not like Ciao Italia in South Perth. Chapter 88 shouts modern, casual and contemporary, serving up breakfast and lunch favourites. From hearing about Chapter 88, I have always wanted to give it a shot since it was so close to uni and it was decided that Chapter 88 would be a perfect place to catch up with the girls … Continue reading Chapter 88

Halo Espresso

Just before we dropped dad off to the airport, we decided to have brunch on the way. So a few places came to mind and in the end, we thought of going to South Perth to see what food they have to offer. On the way down to South Perth, I flipped through the Entertainment Book and discovered an Entertainment voucher for Halo Espresso. Without looking at the reviews on Urbanspoon, we decided to give Halo Espresso a try since we were in the area. We arrived at the peak lunch hour during a weekday and Halo Espresso was busy. … Continue reading Halo Espresso

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

Canvas Cafe

Cold, rainy and windy is what we usually associate with winter weather. What food comes to mind when you think of winter? Possibly something to keep you warm and contented…am I right? Located in the heart of the Fremantle Arts Centre is Canvas Cafe. Inside Canvas lies a courtyard which looks like a secret garden. There’s also seating inside too. As the seating inside was reserved when we were there, we had to sit alfresco although the weather was rainy and windy! Luckily, there were large umbrellas on top of our heads, which protected us from getting soaked. Canvas serves … Continue reading Canvas Cafe

Typika Artisan Roasters

Finally, I can say now that I have been to Typika Artisan Roasters. Typika has been the talk of town and is a popular breakfast, brunch, lunch and coffee spot. Typika houses a glassed-in coffee roastery where all the roasting action takes place along with a warehouse for storing green beans, roasted coffee and wholesale products. I was there during the peak lunch hour and was lucky to get a table for the 3 of us. Despite how busy it was, Typika has a positive vibe. So, I asked our waitperson what was his recommendation and he recommended the Caramelised … Continue reading Typika Artisan Roasters

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

Malaysian Food Adventures #19: Jibby and Co

If you happen to be around Empire Shopping Gallery at Subang Jaya lately, I am sure you will notice a new glass building which looks like a greenhouse outside. This new little building is home to cafe and restaurant, Jibby and Co which has been opened for more than a month now. Yes, residents of Subang Jaya will be pleased to hear that they no longer have to travel to Bangsar or Mont Kiara to get a lovely atmosphere and food. The concept of Jibby and Co reminds me of a lot of cafes that I have been to while … Continue reading Malaysian Food Adventures #19: Jibby and Co
