Authentic Bites Dumpling House

A few weekends ago, I took my family to Authentic Bites Dumpling House along Newcastle Street in Northbridge. Since my dad heard about this place, he really wanted to try it out. I love dumplings and would not pass up a chance to go back. It was actually my second time at this dumpling house. Service generally isn’t the forte of most Asian restaurants and Authentic Bites was no different. The food was pretty good but it’s very much in-and-out kind of service. The dishes however are reasonably priced, which makes for a economical meal.

Lunch at Finlay & Son No 917

Finlay & Son no 917 is a hip little cafe located along Beaufort Street in Inglewood. I liked the fact that it was further up away from the hustle and bustle of Mt Lawley. It meant the crowds were thinner and there were plenty of street parking. I met up with a couple of friends on a Sunday for lunch. Given the hot Perth weather, a scorcher at 38 degrees that day, we opted to sit inside in the aircon.

Young Love Mess Hall, Northbridge

Young Love Mess Hall is yet another new kid on along William Street in Northbridge. The last thing I remember being there was a Malaysian restaurant. The place has been renovated into a hip new restaurant and bar. While there are a few booths, small sized tables and bar-style high table/chairs, the most prominent seating arrangement is the mess hall style long communal table. I love the hanging garden from the ceiling and walkway, it’s a nice contrast to the off black coloured walls. I liked how they kept the round archway which separates the bar area from the other dining area. It reminds me that the restaurant has some Asian influence to it.

Say hello to Eillo in Northbridge

2016-11-04_ellio-06

On my way to the Art Gallery of Western Australia last weekend, my friend and I stumbled upon a neat little cafe called Eillo. This gorgeous narrow little coffee house opened up along William St in Northbridge earlier this year. As we only had time for coffee, we didn’t get to try any of the delicious looking pastries in on display (Cruffin, a croissant and a muffin!) nor any of the toasties on the menu. The coffee used by Eillo is from Perth’s own Micrology Coffee Roasters.

Breakfast at Satchmo Cafe, North Perth

2016-10-28_satchmocafe-02

Satchmo Cafe is a little hidden gem in North Perth. It’s been on my to-eat list for a little while now but I didn’t have an excuse to check it out until the Sunday just past. As my friend and I had separate commitments after mid morning, we decided on an early  breakfast catch up before the Sunday brunch crowd hit. If I wasn’t looking for the cafe, I would have easily missed it! Given it was early in the morning, there were plenty of parking spots out the front which is a lovely bonus.
