KOKO Black Chocolate

Hi guys!!! (: It's me again! So weeks ago, after a long day at school, Tiff and I headed down to Claremont Quarter to chill and we chanced upon the newly opened KoKo Black Chocolate Cafe! The both of us got very excited because we are huge fans of chocolate!!! Naturally, we decided to pop in for some dessert and coffee. 

Doesn't it look very pretty? 

Hmmm I think (okay, I'm sure) our pictures don't do the place justice because it really does look much nicer in real life. Sorry :(

Well so anyway, we proceeded to order:

Ice Coffee - It was lovely but we didn't finish it because it was quite large. 

Belgium Hot Chocolate - It was definitely a cupful of goodness, rich and creamy and absolutely delightful!

We also ordered a Chocolate Cake. It was disappointing because firstly, we did not expect it too look like that! It looked and tasted more like a brownie. It wasn't even that fantastic. It was just a regular brownie. 

Plus, it was TINY :( and we were planning to share it!

LOL, look at it!

Here's Tiff (:

Price:

Beverages - $3.75 to $13.50

Desserts - $3.80 to $28.50

The Meal:

We loved the beverages but the dessert was just alright. We only tried one dessert though, so don't write them off just yet, we're pretty sure there are other more delicious desserts available!

The Ambience:

Pretty place! Really liked it!

The Service:

VERY SLOW OMG.

Overall:

So overall, it was a nice experience - We had fun (we always do!!!). I wouldn't mind going there and trying other desserts!

Lambretta Cucina Italiana

Hi friends!!! Sorry it's been so long since the last post! This past week or so has been hectic with school and lots of other activities! I feel so sad that we've neglected our blog and readership has gone down!!! :(

Anyway, I just wanted to blog about this Italian restaurant that Tiff and I visited weeks ago. Yeah I think we just submitted a major assignment that day and rewarded ourselves by going shopping (again???)!!! After the shops closed, we chanced upon this little Italian restaurant in Nedlands so we decided to give it a shot! 

Since there was only 2 of us, we couldn't order alot because food portions are huge here in Australia so Tiff and I usually share.

After scanning through the menu, we decided to order:

Italian Bread with Olive Oil and Vinegar Dip - We were CONNED into ordering this!!! Haha the very charismatic Italian owner suggested that we order the Italian bread for starters. According to him, its woodfried or something and hence, very good. We were so smitten by his charming good looks we said ALRIGHT (Silly girls!!!) and........it wasn't nice at all because it was too hard!!!! Disappointing!

Garlic and Chilli Mushrooms. They were delicious! It was a very simple dish but it made us very happy! Oh it wasn't spicy at all (well at least to us it wasn't). 

Penne with Italian Sausage - It was alright, definitely not fantastic and I wouldn't go back for it actually. I'm not saying that they don't serve good food at Lambretta, but we just didn't really enjoy this particular dish we ordered. Everyone else's food looked and smelt so good though! 

As usual, we had to have a dessert after our meal

Awesome Tiramisu! It was very very very good! Both of us loved the cream portion of it but felt that it would have tasted so much better if it was colder. YUMYUMYUM!

The best dish of the day deserves a photo with us! LOL (:

So that's all we ordered!

Here are some photos of the interior of the restaurant - They're not very well taken sorry!!! 

Can you see the red mini bus frame thing behind that table? It actually honks! The owner of the restaurant presses the honk whenever customers are done with their meal and are on they're way out! Very cute! I think it means "Bye, take care, I hope you enjoyed your meal and see you again!!!!"

Price:

$15 - $25 per main

The Meal:

There were hits and misses so I'd say 2.5 donuts! Order wisely if you decide to eat there!

The Ambience:

Nice place, small and cosy, we liked it!

The Service:

Service was CRAZY SLOW from taking our orders to waiting for the food to come. We were famished by the time our food arrived (We hate waiting for food!). Other than that, the staff was friendly and nice (especially the boss!)

Overall:

It wasn't bad, but given a choice, I would only visit Lambretta just for the Tiramisu. That's just me though. You guys might want to give it a try and order something else, it'll probably be good (:

The Walk Cafe

Hi everyone! Sorry it has been AGES since we last blogged...have really been busy! Was away for the mid-sem break...and Huiyi was also busy doing who knows what! LOL. 

Anyway, just this afternoon, Huiyi, Cheryl and I decided to go for our usual Wednesday lunch! And not surprisingly, Cheryl was once again the guru, suggesting that we try out The Walk Cafe at Subiaco! 

At the Walk Cafe! 

Left to right: Huiyi and Cheryl :)

The inside of the Cafe! They have both indoor and alfresco dining, but we decided to sit inside! The place is quite pretty and cosy, nice for a delicious breakfast, simple lunch or delightful dinner :)

Took quite a while to decide on what to order...but finally decided on...

The Linguine with cauliflower, spinach and mushrooms served in a creamy white wine sauce

This dish was not on the actual menu, but was under "Wednesday's Specials" on the board! Even though there was no meat, the dish was really really yummy! The sauce was just perfect! Not too creamy but also not too watery, and the mushrooms were just divine! :)

The dish was actually our favourite of the three dishes we ordered!  

The next thing we ordered was actually what we decided to call, "The Lot" which included Baked Beans, bread, poached eggs, chipolatas and had actually come with a grilled tomato which we swapped for more mushrooms! As you can probably guess, yes, we love mushrooms!!!

However, this dish was quite a disappointment! There was really a lot of baked beans, the poached eggs were TOO well done, the bread was ok, the only things that were pretty nice were the sausages and mushrooms! But overall, wouldn't go back and order this dish again. 

And our last dish was Blueberry pancakes with double cream and maple syrup!

I think this dish definitely looks better than it tastes! I guess it could have tasted nice, but we saved it for last, so by the time we started eating it, it was already quite cold. :( However, I also found that the pancakes were quite dense and not light and fluffy! The good thing about it was the delicious double cream that accompanied the pancakes and the crazy amount of maple syrup everywhere!!!:D:D:D

The outside of The Walk Cafe!

It was pretty crowded for a Wednesday afternoon. 

The both of us! 

All three of us outside the Cafe.

It's always fun when you're with great company! :):):)

Price:

$15-$25 for each main

Our total bill was $57 for the three dishes

The Meal:

The Linguine was definitely yummy, but the other dishes fell short of our expectations. But overall, it was still pretty good and will definitely go back! 

The Ambience:

The place is pretty and would also be a nice place for dinner!

The Service:

Our French waiter was pretty cute and had nice eyes and a nice smile...Haha. Very charming!!!Lol. So yes, service definitely gets more donuts!

Overall:

All in all, the food was nice, the place was relaxed and cosy and the service was pretty good.
