We were taking things slow in the morning as we get ready to leave, Liza (our host) has kindly extend our hours for us as she did not have a booking for the day. However, as there is still much to do we left the house by 11am. Needing to fill our tummies first, we headed for lunch at silver sushi, a place WH and her friends frequent often. We arrived just as they were about to open and within a short period of time the place was filled with customers, proving the popularity of this place. Heather ordered a chiraishi don, while I got the Scallops & Salmon Maki, and a Aburi slices to share. The food was pretty good, and the maki was huge and filling. As utopia was just right beside, we got ourselves a drink as well. I tried the winter love milk tea (which was actually just Japanese rice tea) and Heather got the hazelnut milk tea with pearls. Verdict, it was bad, really bad and diluted. " Silver Sushi Than we headed to a place Heather wanted to visit, from browsing on Instagram. Brown Spoon Dessert Shop, located in the city. We were super full, but we still tried the watermelon bing su, gotta say it was just insta-worthy but rather ordinary. The table beside us ordered the bulgogi burger that looks good as well. There was a wall with angel wings, photo spot. " Brown Spoon Cafe Since it was our last day, we were just going to walk around the city before heading to the airport. As it was difficult to find a park in the city, we tried going into the different carparks, the parking charges were too high. With no choice,we parked on the street beside the St Mary’s cathedral which was also expensive. The St Mary’s Cathedral was beautiful inside as with all cathedrals. We took some time to visit the London court, in the between the main shopping streets. The place has an old English feel, despite the lack of shops and the tourist traps, the place makes me feel like part of a Harry Potter movie. Be sure to check the place out and snap some photos. " London Court Than we proceeded to the Graffiti walls in Wall St, just right beside channel. There are also many artworks hidden between the lanes along Hay St and Murray St. " Wolf Lane, 321 Murray Street, Perth WA 6000" After which we proceeded to get some honey cakes before returning the car at No Birds, as we were cheapskates unwilling to pay extra. They have 2 stalls, one in Perth CBD and another in Fremantle market, if you would be dropping by Fremantle market, it would be more convenient to get from there. They were delicious, each layer of the caramel had the light taste and fragrance of honey yet not too sweet. However, these dont come cheap, a big box which is what i got, serves about 8 for $29. None the less, a great gift for friends and worth the try if it's your first time in Perth. " The Honey Cake Shop in CBD Than we took a uber to Nedlands Shopping Mall, which doesn’t look like a mall, to wait for WH and Andy for dinner at Ciao italia. Ciao Italia has been recommended by many who have visited Perth as the place to go for Italian food. The place was already crowded when we arrived and the branch at Nedlands take reservation. We were shown to our seats after a 30minutes wait in the cold, but service was fast inside and within 10 minutes our food was already on the table. We ordered WH’s recommendation a pizza, a signature Ciao pasta, and a mushroom risotto to share. Everything was really yummy and were in large portions so if you are there with friends, you can always opt to share the meal. The price of the meal was also reasonably cheap as compared to the other meals we have had in Perth. I personally like the mushroom risotto more than the pasta as im not a fan of tomatoes, but the pasta had more variety of ingredients if that is what you prefer. We also got the Tiramisu and matcha tiramisu as dessert. The tiramisu was wayyy better than the matcha tiramisu, if you were to choose one, definitely go for the traditional one.There was just a weird taste to the matcha tiramisu and left a aftertaste. "Ciao Italia With that we ended our Perth adventures. Till next time. Xoxo, Dee Perth Post

Started the morning off with just a hot drink in our house, before setting off on a 3 hours drive to the Northern side of Perth. We were excited and arranged to go to famous lobster shaxk in Cerventes, WA. We were super hungry by the time we reach the shack, the place was packed with tourist on a tour around the area. They were having some kind of promotion for fresh lobsters on sale that day due to a public holiday in China. I was looking forward to try the lobster roll that i saw from others who have wrote about this place, sadly, the menu was limited on that day with only 3 choices. We ordered a plate of half grilled lobster+ chips and coleslaw and Bobby's lobby burger, everything was cold and really not great for us on that day, it might be because everything was like pre-cooked and left there, till we collected our order. Be sure to arrive before their closing time at 3pm. " Lobster Shack @ Cervantes After filling our stomachs, the next stop was to the pinnacles desert, located 20minutes away from the lobster shack. The pinnacles desert is located within the Nambung National Park, filled with limestones formations made from seashells in the early eras. There is a entrance fee when you drive right in, after which, you can choose to go on a drive round the park, there are designated roads that you can follow or choose to take a wallk. We went for the drive route, along the pathway, there are designated spots for you to park your cars and go down, have a walk around the area, and take some photos. We were in the park for about an hour- an hour and a half, stopping whenever and spending the majority of our time trying to get a good photo. " Pinnacles Desert Next stop, coming back from the Cervantes, Lancelin Sand Dunes. A friend suggested we rent the boards at the convenience stores when turning into the area. Be sure to look out for signs as they are easily missed. Apparently, it is cheaper than renting from vendors in the sand dune ($10 for 2 hours). We suggest just renting 1 board to share as it was really tiring climbing up the sand hill, unless you would be spending a lot of time there. It was really huge, you would be literally standing of piles of sand the whole time. Besides sand boarding, there are other activities offered by the vendors there as well. As it was getting late, we didn’t bother getting the board but just slide on our bums and take some photos. Be sure to go early if you would like to spend a lot of time sand boarding as there is very little street lights around and the area could get very dark. "Lancelin Sand Dunes We than embark on a really long drive back from lancelin after that and stopped by Sedap place in East Victoria Park for dinner. As we were starving, we ordered more than usual, I got the nasi lemark while heather got the ipoh horfun and shared the Roti Canai. It was not too bad, of course nothing could match the standards we have Singapore. Ending the day with more PresoTea. "Sedap Place Xoxo, Dee Perth Posts
