Ohnamiya

I can finally pronounce it: Oh-na-mi-ya!
It's a really nice little Japanese restaurant nearby home with really nice bento box set meals, but I have to bring your attention to the dessert of course. It's the green tea panna cotta. A nice little to dessert to finish off the meal with a subtle matcha taste which actually goes well in the form of a panna cotta.

It's pretty too...

It was a nice evening to catch up with friends over a satisfying meal.

Swensen's

I think the pictures are enough to let your eyes feast upon them.

 I ordered "Merri-mint" which was quite refreshing in between sharing the more chocolate-y ice creams.

Be sure to share the sweetness with many friends.

Transit in Singapore for Swensen's sweetness (:

Coffee At C15

There was a nice atmosphere about this place and it was just another nice place to chill nearby home. When the day winds down, it's nice to be able to "talk" and enjoy a cup of coffee or dessert with someone special.

Still, I always order the strangely mint-flavored items. This was my cup of ice chai mint latte. A treat from my cousin.

This was her cup of latte. I thought the cup seemed quite elegant and interesting.

While enjoying our coffees, we "talked" and observed our surroundings. It seems they serve relatively large proportions for the main meals. One day we might go back and try it.

The ceiling was even nice to stare into.

If you ever feel like chilling over a cup of coffee or breakfast, come down here.

Dome

Another place in town you might like the atmosphere of if you like cafes and coffee is Dome. 

 We were just admiring the ceiling. Yes, featured above is the ceiling, nice right.

There's even a junior menu for the kids!

We always seem to order an ice mocha with ice cream and cream, but that's just us. Last time, I heard my cousin ordered some cake there and they said the proportion is pretty big for the price.


Need a cup of coffee...?

Dunkin Donut

My cousin sister-in-law bought these little treats as we ventured through a famous children's theme park. There was such an assortment. Some sweet for the sweet tooth and others just plain simple and satisfying after a light meal.

 Maybe donuts aren't so light but you could tell this donut featured above is baked and the one below is a typical fried donut coated in icing sugar.

7-Eleven's Egg Pudding

Another good eat...Cheap. Convenient. Yummy. Brings back childhood memories (:

Tsua-bing

It's pronounced "chhoah-peng", meaning shaved ice dessert. It's old-fashioned but it's such a tradition, and so very popular in Taiwan especially during the hot and humid summer. 

You could find this almost anywhere in Taiwan if you look carefully along the sidewalk, there is just so much food! My mom and I absolutely love this dessert, and we have to have it every time we visit Taiwan.

Ciao Italia

They say this is the best Italian restaurant in town...I'd have to agree. 

It's busy. Very Italian. Large proportions. Just speechless after the meal.

Yet there had to be room for dessert for the Tiramisu here is famous, so say the Perth-ians.

Stop by Ciao Italia...

The Cheesecake Shop

I actually don't have many photos of the countless cakes that we've bought from here for almost every birthday celebration. Probably because everyone's already taken a bite into the cake before I could get a picture of it, or I'm just too impatient to get a slice of cake. 

This was my last birthday cake on my 20th birthday celebration, a coffee cream sponge cake. But me and my girl cousins absolutely adore the cheesecakes here, and though they may be a sweet delight, every once in a while when there is an occasion makes every cheesecake special. 


Visit The Cheesecake Shop if cheesecake is your delight...

Cold Rocks

I had been waiting years to try this because there was never the occasion for me to do so. So while taking a friend out to tour Perth, we seized the opportunity to try this. 

 All I knew was that it sells ice cream mashed with your favorite toppings. 

Little did I know of what flavors there were or how big the serving was, or even how to order.

So when we finally decided after several taste tests of different flavored ice creams, we learned of how to order our desired flavor combination. What did we expect?

The regular ice cream serving looked huge from behind the windows. We watched with great anticipation as our chosen toppings were being mixed and mashed together with the ice cream. As you can see above, I chose mango ice cream with mango pulp topping.

 My friend on the other hand chose honeycomb ice cream with cookie dough toppings.

This would have to equate to 2 scoops of ice cream.
Want a lick of ice cream, come to Cold Rocks...

San Churros

For the chocolate lover, this is a place where they can indulge in chocolate assortments. I had never had anything quite like this. Spanish churros, cocoa rich ice cream, so much chocolate in one night.

You'd definitely need a group of friends to go with because every bit of sweetness should be shared in order to savor the dessert.

As you can see I took one photo from my view and my friend took the other. There must have been 4 or 5 of us sharing this one plate and still, we almost couldn't finish it.

Definitely for the soul of a chocolate lover.

My cousin had to capture this part of the menu: Avellana (hazelnut), every sip of it was so worthwhile. Unfortunately neither of us ordered it, but it was my cousin's older sister's cup. Next time, my cousin said she would have to order it (and next time, she did).

For a more intense chocolate moment, visit San Churros...

Miss Maud

Miss Maud? She is still around you know; she opened up Miss Maud in 1971 and today it is one place in Perth we can be proud about. I like to hang out here with my friends (cousin included) to chill and chat. Me and my cousin love the carrot cake and hazelnut latte there, but that's not the only thing to love.

The environment she creates is like none other, it's supposedly Swedish but anyways it's really different from other restaurants and cafes in town or anywhere else. Another all-time favorite my family loves to order on birthday occasions is Miss Maud's black forest cake.

If you ever come down here, visit Miss Maud...

Gelares

As you can see, I've been to this place on so many separate occasions ever since I started studying to become a teacher. I've come to this place with so many different groups of people from my grandparents, parents, cousins, siblings, and my friends.

 On this occasion, my grandparents were visiting us for three weeks and this was the first time they had a taste of ice cream and cream in Perth. My grandma requested for second servings because she enjoyed it so much! My mom even asked for extra cream and the guy really served a big dollop of cream-bigger than the ice cream servings!!! 

 With my friends, we come here occasionally on the holidays, after exams, or just to chill.

I just had to bring my newly-wedded cousin sister-in-law here to try it!

 With my siblings and cousins, we come out here at night to chill and chat together while enjoying a serving of Gelares' ice cream, cream and waffles with maple syrup.

I haven't tried all the flavors but I have few favorites... Jamaican Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, and Mint Choc Chip. For the fruit lover, wild strawberry would be the best.

Icey Ice

I tried this place a while back when my good friend came over to visit us. It was a spur of the moment kind of idea but it was worthwhile and very memorable. While we were shopping at Perth's Harbourtown, an outlet for branded reject clothing items (quite small actually when compared to Melbourne's Harbourtown) but anyways, we were a little hungry and a little thirsty. So we came by Icey Ice.

 We shared a peanut and chocolate flavored large bowl of ice shaving with the toppings, which we polished off in a few minutes after taking a few photos.

 Our friend ordered the extra pancake cone-looking thingy which she thoroughly enjoyed by herself. I think she enjoyed her short visit to Perth. She held the cone as if she had won an award or something.

Chocolate lounge

One sunny morning, my friend and I just wanted to chill with a cup of hot chocolate in a nice lounge. It just so happened that there was this new place in town she introduced to me, so we went.

This is the mocha hot chocolate which was pretty awesome, and it stayed warmed throughout the entire two hours we spent catching up. The mug sits on top of a small lit candle which looks pretty funky.
