Perth - Day 2

Day 405
11 Sept 2011

Well, we missed breakfast and I blame it on the bed and pillows. The poor pillows and bad bed caused me to have a sleepless night. Felt so tired and woke up with dark circles. Decided to have dim sum for lunch and made our way to Golden Century @ Northbridge. There was a long queue when we got there so we were given a number. Not sure how long the wait might be, we walked down the street to grab something light to munch on. Settled for a waffle and ice cream at Gelare. I thought it was kinda weird that the waffle tasted kinda salty, I was expecting it to be sweet. Thankfully there was ice cream to go with it. We walked back to Golden Century after the waffle and the table was ready.


Service was quick and friendly but sadly, the dim sum sucks. Har Gau - skin too thick. Siew Mai - too much meat. Law Ba Gou - too much flour, too little radish. Har Cheong Fun - shrimp has a funny taste. Xiao Long Bao - skin too thick. The only nice item was the Lau Sha Bao.

Went Subiaco after our grocery shopping but nothing much to do there except to eat and shop. Decided to head to Fremantle instead. Dinner at Kaili's was ok. We ordered the BBQ seafood platter, expensive and not fantastic. Not satisfied with what we had, we headed to Cicerello's - the iconic Fish & Chips eatery at Fremantle. We were there 4 years ago and the huge battered fish left an impression on us. After the grilled stuff at Kaili's, we decided to have the battered stuff here. We ordered battered fish, battered oyster, battered prawn and battered scallops. Yes, everything battered. F-A-T! The battered fish were half the size of what we had 4 years ago although the batter was still light and crispy. Full, fat, fat.
