The Aviary

Had a nice cold bubbly at Aviary after work

The bar is quite new, I have not tried the restaurant yet. I love all these roof top bars popping up around Perth. The Aviary is definitely more crowded and bigger than the Conservatory but I love both of them.

we were lucky enough to get a table at the corner, with view of the city centre

had a bit of nibbles at the side... fresh fluffy turkish bread

sorry for lack of updates! moving house soon, been so busy

have a great Australia Day

Nespresso Citiz

This is a very back dated post that I have left in the 'draft' section.

a few months ago we have accumulated enough credit card points to get a free Nespresso Citiz! I am so happy there is a reward for spending :)

This small machine changed my life the way i make coffee (i have not made myself a cup of instant coffee since….)

everyday i will have a cup of nespresso coffee, it costs around 60-70 cents for a pod. some say ground coffee is cheaper, yes definitely, but this is cheaper than buying coffee from the cafe almost everyday which was what I used to do. DIY homemade coffee cannot be compared to barista made coffee.. but this really did change my life.

every morning i see other office workers buy their $3-5 cup of coffee, my colleagues will ask me if I want a cup, i will politely decline because i've already had my wonderful coffee!

and i only made it in 1 minute.

If you are unsure how it works or how it tastes, go to myer in perth city. That is the only nespresso store in Perth which sells the coffee pods, and you get to taste the coffee for free. The staff there are very friendly as well! 

After one try and i was sold. My citiz came with the milk aerochinno (automatic frother) that froth the milk in a minute or so, so convenient!

four layered latte

just my usual skinny latte

the good thing is the machine is inexpensive, and the pods are very reasonably priced as well, cheaper than going out to buy coffee. but unless you have the patience to clean up and make coffee with ground coffee beans, this is a good way to go for busy people but wants a good cup of coffee

Must Wine Bar - Margaret River

First time I've bought the Entertainment Book and it is such a great buy! There are so many nice restaurants and cafes that I did not know about under I found them in the book. It is quite worthwhile for foodies who dine out often, I've saved quite a bit. It is always fun and good to surprise people that you have a 'buy one get one free' mains or 25% off the total meal.

Anyway, Must Wine Bar was a restaurant introduced by my friend, but also happens to be in the Entertainment book. I've heard really good reviews about it, the steak was really good (supposed to be famous too). I also tried their angel hair blue manna crab pasta which had a generous serving of fresh crab. The taste was light and refreshing.

Totally worth the long drive from Bunker Bar to Margaret River just to get dinner (due to bad planning)

They also have a branch in Highgate which is just 10 minutes from Perth.

Time for some photos

Bought my partner's birthday cake from Jean Pierre Sancho which is located in Shafto Lane Perth CBD. I ordered the Luxury Strawberry Cake, and it was indeed really luxurious! creamy but light strawberry mousse, with fluffy sponge and fresh strawberries. 

(ignore the writing, it is actually a very affectionate nickname that i call him :p)

Must wine bar

Service was very prompt, once we were seated the fresh bread came shortly after.

had a glass of champagne for the night 

Blue Manna Crab Angel Hair Pasta

Angus Rib-eye

I think this was the Creme Brulee with Coconut, it was so delicious

we really enjoyed our evening, it was a nice dinner.

reservations are strongly recommended, it was so packed that night, and I heard it is a very popular restaurant.

Voyager Estate Margaret River

I am back! After such a long delay with me starting school and having a new job, my life is so chaotic. I am glad I can find a few extra minute to just sit down in front of my computer and write a blog entry!

It was my boyfriend's birthday last weekend so I booked him a two night stay at Bunker Bay Resort (awesome!). Some photos that I have taken in Voyager Estate.

The food was good, although their winery did not have an extensive list of wines that they produce, it was still worthwhile to go give it a visit. The estate itself was huge, and the service was really good too! I am just going to let the photos do the talking

Buddha Bar - Lunch Special

been extremely busy lately 

finally had the time for a quick post!

I went to the Buddha Bar website and came across their lunch special

the place was situated in the trendy subiaco, i love subiaco with all the nice fancy cafes and restaurants

made a reservation a day before, and was promptly brought to our seat by the window

i was amazed by the simplicity, casual yet chic restaurant!

i ordered the tiger prawns with naan bread on the side

it was delishhhhhh

my partner had the creamy chicken

(sorry i forgot the names of the dish!)

but the food was really good and it costs approx $12 each

too affordable for such a nice place, highly recommended!

Iku sushi

Was so excited to give this new sushi joint in Perth CBD a try!

There was a special going on where you get 30% discount on everything during certain times, im not sure if this special is over, but i was lucky enough to go there during the right time 

The sushi was pretty good, not bad for the price

nothing fills you up better than deep fried food during the blistering winter cold! we had onion rings, karaage chicken and cheeseburger sushi

so we asked : what is cheeseburger sushi???

it is actually sushi roll that is deep fried with batter. warm and crispy sushi, hmm it was a bit different but its not bad! i actually went back and get it again even though i thought it was really weird the first time i tried it haha

the design is very simple yet modern. with artificial grass, and outdoor furniture in the small restaurant. i loved it! always good to see nice places like that pop up in perth

my friend pointed out the ninja stars on the wall which i didnt even notice

loved dining here. my friend and I ordered 3 dishes with 2 drinks and the bill only came up to $20+

very affordable and the staff service is superb. they are very friendly and makes you feel very welcome
