Perth - Day 12 (Bari-Uma Ramen - Honey Creme - Museum of Perth - Stirling Garden - The Art Gallery of Western Australia - San Churro - Marubang Korean BBQ)

-

We decided to explore Perth City on our own today. So we took bus no. 564 from Baldivis and bought a standard 5 to 9 zone (price - $ 5) single one way journey cash ticket from the bus driver. Our bus stopped at Warnbro Station and we took a train from Warnbro Station Platform 1 to Perth Underground Station.

Suppose we wanted to head over to Nao Ramen for our brunch but we stumbled upon this Bari-Uma Ramen with a long queue outside the restaurant. So we decided to check it out. We ordered Zeitaku-Uma and Ajitama-Uma. Both are pork flavoured shoyu soup. Zeitaku-Uma comes with 2 pcs of grilled thick cut chashu, diced cut chashu, a flavoured egg, corns and a seaweed. Whereas Ajitama-Uma only comes with 1 pc of grilled thick cut chashu and flavoured egg.

Ramen is good. Not too soft and not too hard with a chewy smooth texture. Pork flavoured shoyu soup is very flavourful. Apart from that, their chashu is crispy on the side and tender on the inside. Glad that we try this new ramen restaurant.

Total bill - $ 40.60

Honey Creme is just next to Bari-Uma Ramen. I love soft serve ice cream and ordered one Boba classic ice cream comes with brown sugar pearl, brown sugar jelly and boba. The soft serve ice cream is good and I just love the brown sugar jelly. It's firm but soft bite like jelly texture. A perfect combination with the soft serve ice cream.

We walked to Museum of Perth which is approximately 5 minutes walking distance (450m) from Honey Creme. It's quite disappointing because when we went inside, there's only one small room selling secondhand books. There's information boards about history and a piano. Is it worth visiting the Museum of Perth? Well, maybe not for me...

Stirling Gardens is a small public garden in Perth. It's just 5 minutes walking distance (350m) from Museum of Perth. We walked past Stirling Gardens and Perth Town Hall before reaching The Art Gallery of Western Australia.

The Art Gallery of Western Australia is free to visit and donations are welcome. I was asked to leave my small backpack in a locker before entering the art gallery. So I have to take out all my valuable items and try to fit everything (wallet, handphone and passport) in my jacket. It's a large and spacious art gallery. You don't need to understand a work of art to enjoy it because not everything in art has an explanation or meaning...

San Churro Northbridge is just 6 minutes walking distance (450m) from AGWA. Two days ago we had churros for one at Mandurah Terrace but it's just not enough for the two of us. So this time we decided to go with churros for two. There's 6 churros and you can choose two types of dip cups. I chose milk chocolate and chocolate hazelnut. This is one of the most satisfying and enjoyable tea break that we had in Perth.

We walked around Murray Street, Hay Street and Trinity Arcade (Perth's oldest shopping arcade). In the end I came out empty-handed.

We wanted to have our dinner at Sumiya Gin at William Street but sadly it's closed on Monday. We ended up at Marubang Korean BBQ Meat and Drink. The scallops taste slightly fishy but still have a firm texture. Korean BBQ is traditionally done over charcoal but not this restaurant. Charcoal grilled meat definitely taste better than non stick grill pan for me. Overall the meat was average.

Total bill - $ 124

Guangzhou/Shenzhen - Day 4/Day 1 (Luohu Commercial City - Dongmen Pedestrian Street - Sun Plaza)

-

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...
