25 Mar - Jaws Sushi (Cinema City)

On Sunday, CB and I decided to have lunch at Jaws, since we hadn't been in awhile. We got there about 12:30ish, and ran into Ants and Carleeah, who had arrived since 12. After waiting about 5-10 minutes, a spot was free and it was actually next to A&C.

I was very hungry by this stage (daylight saving kicked in, so my gut was really at 1.30pm) and I smashed about 10 plates, including 2.5 plates of tori karaage (my favourite), 2 plates of unagi (eel) and a few other bits and pieces.

In total, my share of the bill came to $35.30 .. an expensive lunch but my guts were happy.

24 Mar - Chooks

I couldn't be bothered making lunch on Saturday, so I went through the coupons that were delivered in the junk mail and saw Chooks. I decided upon the 2 pieces fried chicken, chips and pineapple fritter meal for $4.95...

It wasn't too bad, the fried chicken there is very ala KFC, although it's not quite as good (they must only have 7 or 8 secret herbs and spices). I originally thought that it wasn't as salty as KFC, as I had a wing portion and wasn't that salty at all. Then I had a thigh piece, but the saltyness was on par with Original recipe KFC.

I much prefer KFC though, only because then I can have Hot and Spicy, which is way superior to the crapso Original recipe...

Highlight Reel 2 (Krispy Kremes, Sydney)

Rewind back to 10 December 2006 and CB and I spent a weekend (and Friday) in Sydney. The main purpose of the trip was to see one of my favourite bands, Gamma Ray, who flew from Germany to do 2 shows in Down Under. I can honestly say that it was worth it, GR didn't disappoint and played a good set of oldies and newies, even though they didn't play one of my faves "Heal Me".. in any case, this post is about donuts, not music :)

People over east can take advantage of food chains such as Starbucks (another favourite of mine) and Krispy Kremes. As I am a frequent forum dweller of numerous car related groups, I keep on seeing meet points at such locations. People who had been over east (and overseas) also harped on about KK. I knew I had to try it for myself.

The above picture was taken just before I had my first KK donut. We were in the city somewhere and had found a sign from a mall, and decided to have a snack. After the happy snap, I tore open the bag and sunk my teeth into one of the most freshest and tastiest custard filled chocolate donuts I've ever eaten. Yum .. I am hooked.

Unfortunately (or maybe it's a good thing), KK has not come to Perth.... We do miss out on some good franchises but .. KK, Starbucks, Sushi Train Express are a few I can think of right now.. :(

11 Mar - Avenue Nine and then Mille Cafe

Last Sunday we decided to go out for a Sunday lunch, and picked out Avenue Nine as the place to go. We hadn't been there before (Wagg and I went there for 5 minutes on a previous occasion, mistaking it for Mille heheh), and when we got there, the power decided to cut out. Because of the lack of power, there was to be no coffee, and only a few items on the menu, which were cookable by gas, were available. We then decided to blow the joint and go to Mille instead. I hope to go to Avenue Nine again sometime, hopefully third time's the charm.

At Mille, I had the usual Ice Coffee and shared wedges with CB. We ordered the wedges with aioli and sweet chilli. For my main, I decided on the open steak sandwich. To be honest, it was OK .. the steak was a little chewy (can't expect a scotch fillet for the price), the bearnaise sauce didn't really have to be there, and the red onion jam stuff was a little weird (red onion is sweet enough, but to make it into jam??). The lettuce was a little on the bitter side... I should of gone with my first pick which was the chicken sandwich, but I always change my mind at the last minute and then regret it hehehehe...
