Yesterday we headed to a burger bar in Victoria Park, V Burger Bar. I was soooo hungry!
Continuing from my previous post about burger cafes in Perth, this is the forth shop that I visited which specialises in burgers. The shop is right next to the Bintang Cafe.
I ordered Chickcorian Burger which consists of chicken patty with chopped coriander, gourmet lettuce, red onion and lime sweet chilli mayonnaise. My husband ordered Classic V Burger which consists of prime beef patty, gourmet lettuce, red onion, V relish and aioli.
The bread was Turkish style, and the burger didn’t come with chips or salad. The price is pretty reasonable.
Chickcorian Burger was delicious - the tangy sweet chilli mayo was well-matched with the chicken patty. I couldn’t taste much of coriander in the patty though.
The Classic V Burger was good. The amount of the beef patty was just right, and the aioli and relish were great for the burger.
If I compare with other burger shops I’ve been to, the beef burger at Gourmet on Wray was the best so far. The beef patty was divine - smooth, tasty, and I could enjoy the genuine delicious “beef”. A beef burger at Jus Burger was hard to describe, as there was too much sauce and the sauce was overwhelming the taste of the patty, so I have to exclude it from the comparison.

On weekends we went to Saigon for lunch. That’t type of food is my favorite (Chinese/Vietnamise/sometimes Malay) 
At Saigon, Saigon Chicken Rice is the popular dish. When I just came to Perth, my classmate took me to this restaurant for lunch and told me “Ume, you should try this Saigon Chicken Rice. It’s really yummy!”
“Chicken Rice”… I didn’t know what chicken rice was at that time, as there is not such dish like Hainan chicken rice or roasted chicken rice in Japan. At first, I thought chicken rice was the stir-fried rice with chicken pieces in tomato sauce. That’s the chicken rice in Japan.
It is really “chicken” and “rice”.
But, it’s really yummy! The chicken skin is crispy, and the sauce is… addictive.
I can eat it every day, but I’m sure this dish contains quite lots of sugar. Vietnamese food are high in sugar and I can taste the sweetness in the sauce. But… very yummy!

My friend invited me for a late lunch at The Imp in East Victoria Park. It was my first time to have a meal at this cafe, and the cafe was very busy as I expected.
There’re people queueing waiting to order for take away coffee. This cafe only has a few tables because of the size of the building… but we were lucky enough to get this counter seats for three of us. 
The chair was actually difficult to sit and eat the food, as all of us are pretty short (I’m 155cm, other friends are 151cm and 158cm) and the stalls were quite high: but we managed it.
The staff are friendly, and the service was fast. I also like the look of the exposed brick wall and the polished concrete counter. It has the retro-looking. It must feel nice staying here sipping hot coffee in winter.
We ordered smoked salmon baguette and feta baguette from the lunch menu, and croquette from the tapas menu.
The smoked salmon baguette contained cream cheese, baby spinach, red onion and capers.
The feta baguette came with roasted red capsicum, baby spinach and drizzled with balsamic glaze. Both baguettes came with homemade tomato chutney.
I loved the baguette. It was like short flute baguette, crusty but not too hard, and chewy! The tomato chutney was tasty too.
I wanted to have another cup of coffee, but my friends kept talking and talking.. It was around 4 pm when we left the cafe. … I thought the staff were little annoyed by us (as we stayed long without ordering another cups) but they were smiling.
It was a good afternoon

It was lazy afternoon for me… I had to wake up very early to do some work. Around noon I thought I should take a little nap, but didn’t feel like going back to bed. Then I decided to surf the web for a bit, and I lost track of time! When I shut the computer it was already around 3pm.
I had headache, but thought I should get out of the house. Because it was Sunday I didn’t quite know where to go. I was driving around Swan River, then popped into this book cafe in South Perth.
I knew about this cafe from before but it was my first time to go inside. Once I stepped in, I realised it was an actual book shop where you can buy books. I thought it was like a cafe where you share the books with other customers and read while sipping on coffee. They had many kids books, novels and some other types. I liked all the books they sell.
There’re a few tables near the book shelves, but all the seats were taken by customers. I walked towards the back, and I found a cafe counter and tables in the terrace.
I felt like something warm, so I ordered flat white. My husband ordered latte, and one apple & blueberry crumble to share.
We sat on a sofa, then realised we couldn’t take the book to read into the terrace. We read the paper in stead, and shortly a waitstaff came to us with our order. All the staff were very friendly! And, the coffee was just how I wanted… perfect
We could totally relax there. I want to go back to this place, definitely.
