KFC (Perth)

for lunch, i made it a point to try out their kfc. I heard from Sean dat their kfc uses fresh chicken and not frozen chicken.. duno if i remember correctly but he was just telling me that their kfc is much better den back home.



the first thing i noted was their fries. its the thick long kind like our mos burger ... and it tastes much better! its really GOOD. the chicken is really good. Bigger and juicier!

and the whipped potato...



this made me remember why i used to like kfc's whipped potato but not anymore. haha

Macdonalds (Perth)

macdonalds for breakfast.

i had one of their burgers...



their sausage for the sausage muffin is beef. u get the option of any drink so i chose strawberry milkshake. A little too sweet for my liking. the best milk shake i've had so far is still from london. Hashbrown was pretty similar to wat we have over here.

Kaili's (Perth)

Kaili's....



half a dozen of fresh oysters....



the oysters here and not big but its good! reminds me of the oysters dat i couldnt stop eating @ Broth's reopening (those were really fantastic). They didnt serve it wif chilli but with a sauce dat reminded me of soya sauce. Its quite a refreshing way to haf the oysters... nice!



and i also had a bbq half lobster!



a closer up view...



look!



need i say more?
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY!
i like lobsters!

Cicerello's (Perth)

By around dinner time, i walked over to the place where Sean brought me to the other night...











since i've already tried Kaili's, i decided to try Cicerello's. But i didnt realise Cicerello's didnt exactly have grilled seafood, the section i missed out the other day at Kaili's. However, Cicerello's menu is pretty good, pretty 'flexible' in that sense. I can order the fish w/o the chips and i can order individual seafood seperately w/o them coming in a whole big platter!

so what i did was, i ordered the fish, one scallop, one oyster and one potato cake....



the fish was alright in my view. in comparison, i prefer Kaili's fish. Cicerello's one feels thinner with more batter so i kinda had to seperate the batter and just have the fish.

the potato cake was not nice...i only had a bite. They did accidentally include a stick of french fries in my fish though.. it tasted pretty good.

a close up of the scallop and oyster....



the scallop is very good!



i prefer Cicerello's scallop to Kaili's! they seem to use different types of scallop.

and the oyster...



also yummy yummy!!

Cicerello's actually have got ships where u can board and have a meal on board. But of coz i didnt go for that option.

Gino's (Perth)

After shopping around Fremantle market itself, i went for drinks at Gino's (another much raved about place on forums)...









had a glass of hot cocoa....



comes with marshmallows! n its so YUM!

sat at Gino's for quite awhile to people watch and enjoy a leisure afternoon. great feeling!

Fremantle Market Bubble Tea (Perth)

ome japanese noodle place within the market....



sells bubble tea....



with excellent pearls!!



im not kidding! its so much better den some of the bubble tea shops here in sg. their pearls are actually really soft and slightly sweet. yum yum!

Jesters Pie (Perth)

I found Jesters Pie!!!! located along Market street near Fremantle Market.





was too full and they got quite a good collection of pies on their menu! each one looks great!

i settled for the spud deluxe ($4.50)...



its ground beef with creamy potato, bacon and topped wif cheddar cheese. its VERY GOOD! right under the top puff is a chewy layer of cheese den theres potato in a mashed texture and den theres beef... MMmmmm!!

Amano Gelato (Perth)

Amano Gelato...



they haf quite a variety of ice cream and popsicle.. pity i was alone so i settled for a watermelon popsicle....



its quite refreshing but a lil too sweet.. couldnt finish it but its worth a try.

Tea Culley's Rooms (Perth)

Breakfast was Tea Culley's Rooms..

116 High Street,
Fremantle

Phone: (08) 9335 1286



couldn't decide between caramel slice and apple slice so....

Apple slice...



very different from apple pie and apple crumble. its crunchy apple (likely to be green) and the top and bottom is sugared crusted pastry.

Caramel slice...



the top is a rather thick layer of chocolate... tastes good!

also had a pie because i keep recalling that people from the forum said theres a Jester pie around Fremantle area dats really good yet i've not come across it. was worried i'd not find it.

their beef minced pie...



yum yum!! i think aussie is really good wif pie!

and the service here was superb! I obviously ordered alot but the server wasnt even stopping me! she seemed to understand dat i just wana try a bit of everything and she even told me i can haf a free cuppa coffee or tea!

she recommended me their cappuccino...



tastes great!

The Greek (Perth)

Dinner with new found friends! Joey and I-Shan from singapore and Junshin from Korea!

we walked around James Street and decided on this greek restaurant because it seemed very crowded so we're guessing food should be good. haha

124 James Street
Northbridge
Western Australia 6003
Tel: (08) 9227 7346
thegreek@thegreekperth.com




we started off with champagne....



to celebrate this blooming friendship!

garlic bread!



nice!

calamari...



pretty good as well. a lil diff from wat we have locally.

oysters....



comes wif bacon! reminds me of cockles actually. but not bad!

this other dish is recommended by I-shan..



i can't remember the name but its ma-something. She has tried it before at some other greek restaurant i think. its got minced beef n lamb inside actually and I-shan and myself actually dun take lamb but u cant really taste the lamb. its really good. its abit like lasagna in terms of taste .... theres minced meat n potato.. top part is like some melted cheese. Really good!

Peter recommended the bbq so we went for the bbq plate or something...



comes with sausage, lamb and chicken. didnt really haf the lamb but the sausage and chicken was really good! nicely seasoned!

Pinnacles Day Tour Lunch (Perth)

my lunch from the Pinnacles land tour...



closer up view of the lobster....





comes with 4 moderately big sized prawns and a half lobster. But if u ask me i'd say its not worth the money. u're better off having them at places like kaili.

Mrs Mac's Pies (Perth)

Mrs Mac's beef pie...



its SO GOOD! I didnt have the pastry part though.. but the fillings is SO GOOD!.. its tasty and the beef taste was there.. didnt expect instant pies to taste so good!

Kaili's (Perth)

Sean picked me up around 7 pm and i told him i'd like to haf the Famous Fremantle Fish & Chips.. he was really nice and obliging, driving me all the way there.

pictures around Fremantle...



arent u just allured by the enchanting blue cloudy sky? Every where just looks so picturesque!





the restaurants area....



and its by the sea where there are lotsa ships.

Cicerello's is one of their very popular fish and chips restaurant....





but Sean said Kaili's is better so we went Kaili's.

Kaili's.....



the way they work is u order at the counter.. den they'll pass u a pager....



when ur order is ready, this pager will ring, vibrate and flash! haha.. SO COOL RIGHT!

i ordered ALOT coz i thot i wun haf any chance to be back and i really wanted to thank Sean for being so nice.

the seafood chowder....



thick creamy yummy soup wif generous portions of fish. i really liked the soup.

prawn cocktail...



tastes ok.. its some tangy thousand island like sauce ... didnt find it worth it.

grilled fish and chips...



found the grilled fish ok only. normally i'm more of a grilled den fried fish person but the grilled fish wasnt exactly my type.

the fish and chips wif scallops, prawns n squid..



the scallop was good...



the fried fish was also really nice! thick and fresh! the prawns and squid was good too.

chilli mussels....



a big big bowl.. but the mussels itself was really small and not nice! sean said its usually quite nice but duno why today's one isnt nice. pretty tasteless.

by the time we walked back to his car, it was around 8 plus and the sun was slowly setting..

took pic of this beautiful sight...



and sean pointed out to me how even the moon is rounder here....



haha!
