20 Feb - San Churro / Dome Cafe, Leederville

After dinner, CB suggested churros in Leederville since nobody else had tried them. However, once we arrived, it was obvious that we weren't going to get a seat anytime soon. Epic Fail.

GJ's next door also was an epic fail, due to them closing early for whatever reason.

The only place open (but was closing soon) was Dome. I went for the carrot cake, after seeing Fast Ed making one on Better Homes and Gardens. However, it wasn't a good choice ... the carrot cake was dry and crumbly. Another epic fail.

20 Feb - Seizan Japanese Restaurant, Perth City

Last Saturday, we all went out for my sister Ang's 40th birthday. She wanted to try a "schmancier" Japanese place, so we suggested Seizan after going there for a work occasion.



To start, I went for the Tori Karaage, a benchmark food item I use for Japanese places. The chicken was quite tasty and crispy, but was lacking in the quantity department. It was a little bare for $6.50. I also have been conditioned to karaage at Jaws too, cos I always find everywhere else is not as good due to the lack of a chilli mayonnaise.



After looking at the bento options, and not wanting to go fried again (the only thing that screamed out was the Pork Katsu), I thought I'd try some sushi. The sushi option had 10 types available and an assorted option. The assorted sushi option consists of 10 pieces for $16, which is obviously more expensive than the shopping centre takeaway store. I was disappointed to only find 3 types of sushi on my plate, as I thought I would be getting one of each type. The sushi was certainly tasty though, and nicer than the shopping centre takeaway options.



As usual, Ah-Tom did not want to eat his greens, so they were passed onto me. I'm a fan of the Japanese side salads due to their dressing.

12 Feb - San Churro, Fremantle

After having San Churro last January with some colleagues, I raved about it to CB. We finally were in Fremantle for her to have a try.

CB wanted to try the tasting plate, and was tempted to have it by herself. But after the menu warned her, she decided to share instead. Probably a good thing for her too, cos everything on the plate was so rich that I was beginning to feel sick just eating half! The little chocolates were way too sweet, but the churros, brownies, melted chocolate and icecream were heavenly. The strawberries were also really good.

To wash it down, I had an Iced Chocolate. I thought it was going to be really good but it wasn't anything special, unlike the chocolate affogato I had last time.

12 Feb - Kailis Fish & Lobster Market Cafe, Fremantle

CB and I had dinner out in Fremantle last Friday out in Fremantle. For dinner, we stopped off at Kailis, right next to Cicerellos.

I asked for the Catch of the Day with coleslaw. I didn't know there was an option of fried/grilled, and I got the default fried option, when I wanted grilled (as per their picture on the menu). I didn't complain about getting fried though, but it did blow out my diet haha. CB ordered the Seafood Delight, which contained a mixed assortment of seafood and chips, and was quite a bit cheaper. I wondered what could justify the price difference, and then tasted the fish from both dishes. There was no comparison. The King Snapper (I believe) was just that much more juicier and tastier than CB's plasticky tasteless fish. Whilst the fish was good, I didn't finish my chips, and the coleslaw was ho-hum.

I also ordered a side of squid rings. These weren't anything special, but were edible.
