Grandma visits...

with Grandma

I've been busy bringing Grandma around Perth these few weeks.

(we prefer to dine out rather than chilling on the beach as the weather's too hot for outdoor activities).

Grandma and the eldest sister love pizza and hence we headed to one of Perth's best pizza place @ Little Caesars for dinner.

The Asian pose

Banana caramel macadamia Dessert Pizza yum

My little brother.

Besides having pizza, we also went to Choux cafe for lunch and dessert (still a dessert freak).

In fact, I went there twice in a week (with Catherine).

This is what I had:

Tomato Pissaladiere with my usual Latte

and this (scroll down) is really yummy!

Reine Margor- Carribean Mousse with Mango and Pineapple

At home, we made Coconut Spread which taste best with toasted bread + butter. 

Then we went for Japanese Mango Ice (as light as snow!)

The next day, Mom's friend treated us with SO MANY FOOD we left Modo Mio @ Burswood with a bloated tummy. I didn't take pictures of the main courses because I thought it was rude. But then I couldn't not take pictures of the pretty desserts. hehe!

Sour and Sweet Seafood Soup to boost our appetite.

Tiramisu- Traditional Italian mascarpone cake

Panna cotta con fragole marinate all’aceto balsamicoe basilico
Traditional Italian custard, strawberry marinated in aged balsamic vinegar, basil

Zuccotto- Dome shaped “zuccotto” sponge cake, chocolate, almond& candied fruit.

what else? The usual- Latte

Days after, another friend of Mom's treated us for dinner @ Heavenly Plate.

(It's a vegetarian restaurant.) Yes their chicken tasted like REAL CHICKEN but I was a vegan and am able to differentiate fake and real meat. Still very yummy though! :)

 

Baby Blue Menu.

I had 'Chicken' Satay.

Finally, yesterday with Catherine @ Atomic Cafe Claremont.

Dropped by Choux Cafe to takeaway some desserts beforehand.

Pink Drink- Lemon Lime Bitters.

Classic Burger yum yum.

Gianduja- Hazelnut chocolate and feuillantine.

Millefeuille: Citron- Framboise (lemon- raspberry)

My fav bracelets! 

Looks great when paired with my 'only watch'.

Till then..xx

Last Friday at the Markets

Pomegranate and green apple froyo.

Spent a wonderful afternoon in Fremantle with my family.

Had Ramen and frozen yoghurt (Froyo) from Redspoon.

(They change the flavours all the time!)

 

And I like how they have free testings before you buy a cup of Froyo!

:)

Always leave room for Desserts.

My love and lust for desserts started when I was a child and was greatly influenced by my mother. Whenever she baked a cake, I would stand next to her and place my nose near the cake mixture; inhaling the tang of the butter and sugar mixture as much as I could before she added in the eggs and flour. When the cake was ready; I would always be the first one stood by the table impatiently, convincing my mother to cut a slice. 

Next to that, one of the very first few desserts I enjoyed was the colourful jelly Mooncakes. I remembered walking into the kitchen after school, looking at my mother pouring hot jelly mixtures into various shaped moulds. The kitchen bench were filled with bottles of food colouring, moulds, ingredients and all the utilities she would use. I would pick up things that caught my eyes and would ask so many questions until she had to chase me out of the kitchen just to avoid me messing around. 

Since moving to Perth and obtaining a driver’s license, I often drive around town searching for sweets and desserts. Google and Urbanspoon contributed to my findings by providing details and reviews on the cafes and restaurants. I love having desserts in new places as I find it exciting and I get to experience a little place with a different atmosphere and of course, a different menu.

I chose to blog about desserts because it’s what I tend to look forward to every time I eat out. I have a habit of scanning through the entree, main and side dishes and take more time to read and explore the dessert section in the menu. When the waiter/ waitress come to take our order, I will have to look at the mains and make a quick decision.

As Perth offers a variety of cuisine, my 'dessert-hunting' journey will be a never ending one. This little place will be where I will constantly share and write about everything sweet.
