Tuck Shop Cafe - Perth, Western Australia

-
We heard that Tuck Shop Cafe is a popular spot for breakfast and lunch in Northbridge and decided to give it a try on a cooling Thursday morning. Since it's a weekday, there's plenty of seats for us to choose. Inside the restaurant, it's rather small and cosy. So, we decided to sit outside and enjoy the cool breezes. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

We ordered two main dishes from the menu - Chorizo (comes with paprika potatoes, peppers, spanish onions, crispy pork belly and fried egg) and Moroccan meatballs (comes with flatbread, tomato, hummus and za'atar fried egg. Za'atar is a type of herbs frequently used in the Middle East). All were nicely plated and garnished.

Whereas for the kids, we ordered a mixed berry pancakes with maple syrup and vanilla mascarpone. Mascarpone is an Italian cheese made from cream. Besides that, we ordered babycino for the kids as well. Babycino is a coffee drink for kids, made from either decaf cappuccino or frothed milk with no coffee. Tuck Shop served babycino with marshmallows. The kids just loved it.

However, I felt that the mixed berry pancakes with maple syrup and vanilla mascarpone a bit pricey. Overall the food was just ok for me. (Maybe I had too high of expectations) Anyhow, end of the day the kids loved it so much especially when the pancakes comes with a complimentary ice cream.

(Total bill: $63.60 for 3 adults and 2 kids)

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
