A true Asian breakfast of champions is served as early as 7.30am! Congee, freshly made deep-fried bread sticks and dim sum. I think of Congee when I’m feeling for something hearty and warm in my belly for breakfast.

Breakfast Combo Menu

Not only is the food outstanding but cheap too.

Fresh ingredients ready to be cooked up with delicious congee.

Preserved Egg and Pork Congee with Deep Fried Bread Stick $7.00 Combo B

Combo B for $7.00 you get the congee, bread stick and rice noodles. What a bargain. What a dish. The Congee was thick yet smooth and stocky. The flavour was so nice alone I did not need to add soy sauce like I normally would.

Almost always is congee served with deep-fried bread sticks. The perfect way to soak up all the congee, like you would with buttered bread and pumpkin soup.

Congee is known as rice porridge in Asian countries and unlike the western porridge it’s normally savoury. It should taste like a thick soup. My favourite accompaniments are soy sauce and meat floss.

Steamed Rice Noodles

I’ve tried these loads of times before, but this was my first time having it topped with a special peanut sauce and it went very with the dark sauce.

Pan-fried Shallot Pancake with Egg $5.50 Combo G

Combo G consists of a pan-fried shallot pancake and hot or cold soy milk.

Pastry and eggy goodness.

Hot Soy Milk

Served with sugar for those who like it sweet.

It was an amazing breakfast and their quality of food lasts all the way into the late night. I was gutted I didn’t have the chance to try their famous Chilli XO Clams.

This is one of those restaurants located on level 2, and to get up, you have to get on a tiny elevator. There are only about a dozen small tables so the waitstaff were very quick and efficient.

Ramen-Kan Menu

Sorry for my lack of memory on the prices as I was too anxious to try ramen in Sydney.

Lychee Calpris $3.50

A very nice japanese soda with lychee flavour.

Pork Gyoza’s $6 approx.

The Gyoza’s are pan-fried to crispiness on the outside, and was moist and silky on the inside.

Chilli Takoyaki $5.50

The sauce was very tangy and tasty. It was a nice change because most Perth restaurants who offer this dish, serve it with japanese BBQ sauce and mayo.

Tonkotsu Ramen $11.80

The soup was thick. The noodles were slightly overcooked.

Crab and Corn Ramen $12 approx.

The broth was sweeter because of the combination of crab and corn.

I love it how all ramen restaurants have those giant spoons. I really want to find out where I can get one!

The time has finally come to visit my other home sweet home… Sydney! It was the first time my boyfriend has visited Sydney, so I was very excited to be his personal tour guide with the help of my local family members.

Most people plan out an itinerary, being a big foodie I had a ‘Food Itinerary’ and unfortunately, we could not cover the whole list.

Our hotel was located near Chinatown. It was only a two minute walk to Market City, where Wednesdays to Sundays, Paddy’s Markets are held on the bottom floor.

Entry to Chinatown

Oh what sweet childhood memories I have of this place…

Harry’s Cafe De Wheels Haymarket

I would give anything to have Harry’s Cafe De Wheels in Perth. The most perfect meal I can think of after a late night out. It opens till 4am on Fridays and Saturday nights!

WARNING: Bring a bib and handwipes… it gets very messy from here (drool included).

Menu

I asked “What does the ‘Tiger’ stand for?”. The shop assistant said she’s not exactly sure but we decided it’s the concept of sauce, on top of mushies peas, on top of mash.

Harry’s Cafe De Wheels Famour Curry Tiger $5.90

Their famous curry pie with mash, mushy peas and thick brown gravy.

Hot Dog De Wheels

Their famous hot dog, with chilli corn carne, garlic onions, mushy peas, yummy cheese sauce and chilli sauce.

Y2K Fish Ball Station

This dessert house is not only good for their variety of bubble tea flavours and desserts, but they also specialise in skewers. The skewers are perfect for snacking and my favourite is the ‘Chilli Fish Balls’. The fish balls are boiling in a huge pot so the flavour is seeped in and it’s steaming hot.

Chilli Fish Ball Skewer $3

These fishballs had a bite to it. It tasted like a chilli-curry sauce and it was very juicy.

Meetfresh

Meetfresh is a new Taiwanese dessert shop. There is a line out the door no matter what time or day you come and with one taste you will know why. What sets them apart from the rest is they hand make their taro balls with the fresh ingredients and no added preservatives.

Taro balls are similar to sago balls in texture. Sago balls, also known as ‘pearls’, are a starchy chewy ball commonly seen in bubble tea.

I find that some people may be put off by the gooey textures of sago balls and jellies found in asian desserts and drinks if it’s unfamiliar to them. It doesn’t help that I joke that sago balls come out of sago worms.

Meetfresh Signature Herbal Dessert with extra Noodle $5.5o plus 50c extra toppings Available Hot or Cold

Grass jelly, taro balls, noodles.

Meetfresh Cafe Creme for all Grass Jelly Desserts

This on it’s own did not taste like anything, but if desired when mixed through with the dessert gives a creamy taste.

Meetfresh Signature Herbal Dessert Innards

Mix it all together with the bottom layer of brown sugar ice, to create an amazing dessert. The flavour of the handmade taro balls are to die for and the grass jelly is the best I’ve ever tasted.

Emperor’s Puff Window

This tiny window is home to a hard working employer who churns these custard puffs all day long.

Emperor’s Puff Machine

And the machine.

Emperor’s Puffs $3 for 12

Golden and crispy on the outside. On a small note, there are only 11 puffs not because they miscounted, but because one had been eaten before I could even get a picture.

Emperor’s Puff Innards

Oozing hot custard innards. These are very addictive and you can’t stop at one.

Oporto Haymarket

Not having any stores in Perth we had to try a burger from Oporto.

Oporto’s Bondi Burger with Extra Chilli Sauce

A very good chicken burger with a very addictive sauce.

Crunchy tasty chips.

Greek Festival of Sydney Stalls

Shortly after our food adventures around chinatown, I showed my boyfriend around Darling Harbour where the Greek Festival of Sydney was being held.
