This cafe is one of my favorite. The food is nice, friendly staff and the atmosphere is good 
Today was little cooler compared with the last few days, and my friends and I sit back and enjoyed the food at this cafe on this weekend.
Our favorite food there is .. pancake! Big volume, soft and fluffy and I love the sauce!
They, of course, make food on order and you will be so spoiled with this freshly made pancake.. Dusted cinnamon sugar and juicy blueberry compote is a great match. 2 of my friends ordered this pancake and one asked the staff to serve the blueberry sauce separately.
I, on the other hand, ordered French toast this time.
This is also dusted with cinnamon. It was so good, sweet, juicy and pretty filling
My friend really loved the freshly squeezed orange juice. You can choose between 100% bottled juice, or hand-squeezed one. She chose hand-squeezed juice and it was delicious ♪
Ummm, what a perfect brunch
We sometimes need a treat for ourselves, and for me this was it.

The other day my friend and I went to Duxton Hotel for high tea. We were actually thinking between Hilton and Hyatt, then we decided neither in the end and went to Duxton.
As the high tea hours at Duxton Hotel is for 3 hours, from 2pm to 5pm, my friend and I gathered at the lobby just before 2pm so that we could enjoy the whole 3 hours there. I was driving and trying to find a parking spot in the city, then I noticed some of the parking spots are now not free until 6pm on Saturdays. It used to be free after 12:30 on Saturdays before. 
Anyway I could find a free spot just few meters away from Duxton, and ran to the lobby!
I guess we’re the first customer for high tea. We sat down, and ordered chai tea and mixed fruits tea.
Although I was pretty hungry, I couldn’t finish the food. It’s not only because we’re so busy talking, but also I found the food was very.. common. I was little disappointed. I felt like the tower of sweets and savories, except for the sandwiches, was just taken out from a box from suppliers. And scone was little bit hard and dry.
I paid $28.00 for the food. I don’t want to compare again, but you could enjoy dessert buffet at hotels in Japan with 1500 yen (about AUD$15~20.00) and it’s “all you can eat”. $28.00 for a scone, tart, sandwich and a pot of tea was little too expensive, I thought.

My husband took me out for a walk last night (just because it was my birthday). He asked me where I wanted to go to, but I had no particular place in my head. I didn’t mind anywhere, really.
We ended up walking around Subiaco area. As it was Monday night, the road and shops were very quiet. We were just walking, chatting and sometimes screaming ( I talk loud when I’m excited :p )
Just to take a break, we sat down at San Churro which is located just in front of Wagamama restaurant. (read my old post about San Churro in Fremantle)
Although the whole town was quiet, this shop was so busy! Many people kept coming… couples, groups of girl friends, and some families. We ordered a kid’s churro with white chocolate dipping, a strawberry bizcocho, and a glass of chocolate mint milk-shake. … yes we have sweet tooth.
The strawberry bizcocho was nice, it was served on a round glass and it contains chocolate sponge, chocolate, some white syrup (?), strawberries and some nuts (←I don’t remember as I was busy eating it) Chocolate mint milk-shake was… ok, but my mouth was already sweet with the strawberry bizcocho, so I couldn’t drink it. In the end “D” finished the milk-shake for me.
After that we walked around Bell Tower area at Barrack street in the city. This area reminds me of my dad - he visited Perth few years ago and he nearly went missing around this area. :p Funny memory…
To think about it, it’s almost the end of February and the sign of Autumn has already started to appear. I think the climate in Perth and Japan is almost same around this time. I still should bring some jacket in case it gets cold in the night… This time I’ll be around Kobe and Osaka to meet my friends

As a promo for McDonald’s five new Value Lunch Deals, they started this “Mood of the Nation” site. On this website you can see how the whole country is feeling right now and why. By the way today’s Western Australia people are feeling… ”Peckish”
It’s just a cheeky simulation thing, but $5.95 lunch set menu is a pretty good deal. You can chose from 5 lunch deals : Filet-O-Fish, Big Mac, Seared sweet Chili Wrap, Seared Tandoori Wrap, and Quarter Pounder.
They’re available Monday to Friday between 12 and 2PM at participating restaurants, but only for a limited time. :)

As you may know, this Chinese New Year is the same date as Valentine’s Day. We, Japanese, don’t celebrate Chinese New Year (as our New Year Day is the 1st of January), but I attended the dinner with in-laws last night at a Chinese restaurant in East Perth, called Han Palace. The outside and interior of this restaurant is just about what I imagine of “China”
We had a course meal, which contains 13 dishes.
Yu Sang - Prosperity Raw Fish Salad
Shark Fin and Crab Meat Soup
Ginger and Shallot Western Rock Lobster with Yee Meen
etc etc.
The food was …. to me, not really special. Maybe it’s because those food are special New Year’s food, I don’t know. Well, I did enjoyed the atmosphere though. There was a big screen of tv showing a New Year’s event show, and we started the course meal by mixing up the Yu Sang together while yelling “Happy New Year”.
While we were about halfway through the course meal, it started … - dragon dance!
Two dragon started to look for ang pows (red envelop with money) and all the customers in the restaurants were feeding ang pow to those dancing dragon.
Dragon must get the ang pows : a customer stood on a chair and held an ang pows in high position, and dragon also has to stand up and get the ang pows.
It was a fun night. I didn’t eat much, but the service was great.
