LAST 10 DAYS in PERTH (II)

We met up with Celestina, a hometown friend of Peters’. She is so good, bringing us to top eats of Perth. And coincidently, her friends who are hairdressers from Singapore came for visit and we had our haircut! Just in time, before going to New Zealand. So here we are at Ciao Italia$$, very famous for its pasta and wood fired pizza. Long queue at the front, but its really worth the wait!

Savouring the true Italian wood fired pizza and pasta at Ciao Italia$$, East Perth. Their tiramisu is quite good too. Sicilian Pizza and Chilli King Prawn Pizza. Both also very tasty! $26 each..

Tiramisu...

San Churros, at James St.. Spanish Doughnuts and chocolate drinks..

The churros are slightly overpriced, 6 churros and 2 choco dip for $14! for a dessert...

Crema de Fresa milkshake is quite good too, not too sweet. Blend of yummy strawberries with white chocolate. Paying that much money for dessert, we savour this doughnuts and milkshake real slowly.. LOL. Surely they are heavenly good when dipped in the milk choc and caramel dipping!

BIG soft comfy shoes.... found at Harbourtown shopping center.. Ideal for winter! 

Snack of Gelare's waffle, half price on tuesday!

Nao Japanese Ramen @ Murray St... Yums but not as good as Freo's market Ramen... =P

Little Caesar Restaurant$ at Leederville. Selling their famous dessert pizza. This is Choc Mudhoney, which is chocolate mud cake and honey on top of a pizza, with white and milk choc tablets.

Medicating the sweet tooth!!!

At Fremantle Market*****, open from fri-sun...

So we are back at Fremantle, a city just 30mins from Perth. Come here during fri-sun cause that's when the shops opens!

Dokusoi Ramen$ shop at Fremantle Market. The best full flavour ramen in PErth and Freo so far! Priced from $7.50-$9.. YUMS!!!

Macaroons at Freo Market...

Many street performers in front of the Freo market.. If there's nothing to do you can always stand and watch whole day =P

The fishing boat harbour @ FREO

Dare to try this gelato?

E-SHED Markets*** Place to get souvenirs.. The prices here for nougats and macadamia nuts are a bit more expensive than those in Chinatown (william street)..

Coffee time @ Fremantle Bakery.. Kahlua and hazelnut cake, a big piece for $6.50..

Beautiful sunset... This may be our last sunset in OZ...

The eating continues @ Cicerello's Fish & Chips$$.. Oh and Chilli Mussels! The food is good but not as good as the first time we had one year ago... WHy??? The fish got soggy and mussels cold... probably we took quite a long time taking photos.. LOL.. The chilli mussels at Bella Roma (also in Fremantle) are said to be YUMMY too.. but we haven't got that big a stomach after a whole day eating spree in FREO.. lol...

NEXT: The very last day =)

LAST 10 DAYS in PERTH....

Perth City

The city that P&A begins their backpacking life and the city we end our trip in Australia, lots of memories and great feeling fills our heart now. We have the last 10 days in Perth, let's check out what we done in the last 10 days!

At Perth, we manage to book accommodation at North Lodge Travellers Accommodation which the aunty there gave us a really good deal. $180 (per week) for private ensuite per person. She is so kind, and she is the only one person handling the property! Geng… We have considered staying at Billabong Backpackers (which is just further down of North Lodge) but their rates are so high. It would costs $217 per week for a 4 bed dorm per person! They no longer have a weekly rate (stay 7, pay 6). So luckily we found this North Lodge. It is a quieter hostel, not many people around. Unlike Billabong!

So we had packed all our stuff in this small but comfy private room. Besides Koala (the car), we also put an ad on Gumtree to sell our tent, sleeping bags, gas stove, fishing rod, crab net, storage box & fan heater. So many stuff! And we got a buyer for our tent and stove after a day! This is great; we are slowly clearing all the stuff…

St Mary Cathedral*****, very beautiful cathedral, with modern touch in its architecture...

This is the only mass that Peter had attended after he started his backpacking life, really feels peaceful and comfort in that church.

So the only other things to do in Perth (besides updating our blog) would be EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ooohh, and meet up with friends =)

Bak Kut Teh... Always at the top of our favourite Malaysian Cuisine list.

We met Jenny back in Malaysia when we were applying for the work holiday visa, and now we meet her for the first time in Perth =) She brought us to this Indian restaurant at Swan Bell Tower, Annalakshmi which runs like a charity, so we pay what we can afford to eat this 'all you can eat' vegetarian meal with coffee/tea and orange juice. Many backpackers come to eat here for free or cheap price =P

Looks great and it taste really good!

US at King's Park.. picnicking... 

The cheapest and yummy Japanese food in Perth, TAKA restaurant @ Barrack Street.. 

Angie always miss TAKA food after our first visit to this restaurant last year.
