As we had a few days off for Chinese New Year, we decided to take the opportunity to take our parents out for lunch and dessert mid-week. We drove up north to Scarborough to Island Market for lunch. It was such a beautiful day out. We were sitting by the window and could see the blue ocean and white sandy beach. It was calming to be enjoying a lovely middle eastern inspired meal with the family. I definitely recommend Island Market to those who haven’t been before.

Most ramen-lovers in Perth will likely be familiar with Dosukoi noodle shop located inside Fremantle markets. It’s been around since 2007 and it was probably one of the first few ramen shops in Perth before the ramen craze took off! It doesn’t seat many people however you won’t need to wait long for your ramen as the service is quick and people tend to be in and out of there quickly. They’re only open on Fridays to Sundays, so it’s definitely a weekend kind of activity.

A few weekends ago we were in Fremantle and decided to try it for ourselves. I love trying the “original” ramen when I’m trying a new joint for the first time. It was hearty and hot bowl of soup, very comforting for what was a chilly spring day.

I was out with my favourite lens, the Fujinon 35mm f1.4, and managed to capture some straight out of camera images using my Fujifilm X-T10. The base film simulation was classic chrome.
