Had a pancake at a little cafe in Bicton Central Shopping Centre. There are few cafes in this centre, and this one is located outside, just at the corner. Small one.
My friend had beef burger. Apparently she comes here with her hubby often to have burger. I shall try it next time!
Staff was so friendly too.
Since I wrote about this place Chapels on Whatley, they have transformed their tea shop into a nice, attractive tea-featured cafe .
This shops is located right in front of Maylands train station. They were originally selling just ornaments, tea leaves, and tea-related products, but now they added cafe corner with great drinks and foods.
When I arrived there I could see from outside that many customers enjoying their food and drinks. Outside tables were all taken. When entered inside I was surprised to see how crowded the cafe is with customers and cafe staff moving around busily. They made the cafe counter in the centre of the shop, and there’re tables inside, outside, and at the back yard.
The shop still sells houseware, kitchenware and tea items inside and also at the detached room. We bought 3 teacups made of bamboo. It was $2.80 each.
I wanted to try the food and drinks as they were beautifully dished and looked so yummy, but I couldn’t find any seat available so I left the shop with just three bamboo cups. I definitely want to come back there for food and drinks near future – probably with my girlfriends 
As I wrote about it here, I went to Theobroma Chocolate Lounge in Waterford on the weekend to try out their sweets.
The place is well-decorated and I love the colour tone of chairs, walls, and lights. Yap, all chocolate-like colours. It was Saturday afternoon but there wasn’t too many people inside.
I actually had a cup of hot chocolate before going there (I didn’t know we’re going to a chocolate cafe!), so I didn’t feel like chocolate drink at the cafe (which was a shame). I ordered a mug of latte, and D ordered white chocolate milk shake.
I must admit – I didn’t expect them to serve such perfect coffee! White chocolate milk shake was also delicious – I could taste real white chocolate, but not too heavy.
We shared a piece of cookie’ n cream cheese cake as well, and it was another hit. Quite sweet, and creamy. The cookies are soft and rather chewy.
As well as other sweet drinks and cakes, they also serve savory foods such as Turkish roll, bacon and egg roll, and quiche.
The staff was friendly too. I will definitely come back there again
If you haven’t been to Waterford Plaza for quite some time, you will be surprised to see the change of this small shopping mall in Karawara. I used to go there when I was a student at TAFE in Bentley few years ago, and now it doesn’t look the same.
They’ve got more cafes and restaurants at the site, and the area looks more modern. I find that the parking area is still the same though – bit small – and the drive way is bit narrow, and it causes jam around the exit to Kent street. Once you enter from Kent street you can find Pasta Cups, Burger Edge, and Theobroma Chocolate Lounge etc along the drive way.
There are Chinese-Malaysian food (Chilliz & O’Mama Kopitiam), Thai food (Sara Thai), Japanese food (Mikasa Café) and more available in this place, and many students from Curtin and TAFE go there to grab lunch and dinner, just like old time. And there will be a new tavern featuring the popular ‘Hippo Creek’ restaurant chain, and Singaporean food chain ‘Old Chang Kee’ in early 2012.
WaterPlaza had been under construction for few months and aimed to complete the transformation before the Queen arrived last month, as the Manning Road was the way she would go pass to visit Aboriginal College. The construction operated 24 hours just before the Queen’s arrival, my friend told me.
I wanted to go to the chocolate cafe Theobroma Chocolate Lounge when I passed this shopping mall last time, but didn’t have time for it. Apparently there is another shop in Fremantle (http://www.theobromachocolatelounge.com.au/) so maybe I go there instead. I am so addicted to chocolate now. I know I shouldn’t be eating chocolate too much because it contains caffein and too much sugar, but I can’t help it. Hmmm, I guess little amount wouldn’t harm… :p
Sigh… I regret that we went to crowded Fremantle market area on busy Sunday. We didn’t do much – just had quick snack at Taka’s Kitchen then had churro and iced chocolate at San Churro. We walked around the busy cappuccino street and it just tired us out. We really shouldn’t go out to a busy place on weekend. We should go to a quiet park or beach instead and relax. It was Father’s Day but I don’t think D enjoyed the day. We were both tired from pushing a big stroller around and watching for cars, people, and trying not to get blight sun light on Hiro’s face. It’s not like we really wanted to eat Taka’s food and churro and chocolate. We simply just wanted to do something together. No more going out to busy places on weekends!
Miso-katsu-don and kaki-age-don.
I don’t know why D chose to go to Taka’s kitchen… It’s the worst place to go with a big stroller and a grizzly baby.
San Churro was also crowded as usual. It was much nicer when I came here with friends in early morning the other day. It was quiet, much less people, food and drink were perfect (because they weren’t busy and had time to prepare with care), and we could totally enjoy the moment. Yesterday was opposite. …Well, at least D enjoyed the churro and white chocolate..
