I happened to dine in for my tea-break here at the Fremantle branch. It was tucked at the main street of Fremantle shopping area. I ordered the Banana waffles drizzled with its dark chocolate. Portion was huge and nice. Love it! There is free water for anyone to drink from the bar fridge.

This place is great located at Fremantle. Location is great near to the market and Rydges Hotel where we stayed. Prices were reasonable and the food was great! It gets packed on weekends and even on weekdays. I overheard the pizza was great. I had the Specials on the day- which is the grilled Baramundi fish with crab meat wrapped with lettuce, finished off with a cup of hot chocolate for the night. Good ambiance and service!

Recently our major suppliers brought us to Coco's Restaurant for dinner. Dubbed by Perth locals, this is one of their best lavish restaurants. However I've realized the entree is so expensive and wasn't that great. I had the Sushi for the entree and the wasabi was flat (not even hot at all).

I had to admit the Du-Fish pie was good and huge portion but I didn't dare to look at how much it costs. The desserts looked good but rather expensive as well. The drinks at the corner bar is pretty reasonable for its prices.
Overall it's alright but definitely not such a 'wow' Restaurant but to many Perth locals, this is their best lavish fine dining restaurant.

Had yumcha once at this restaurant and the other night we had dinner banquet at this place with friends from Sydney. We ordered a softshell crab for entree (it wasn't great and it was so tiny, wasn't crispy at all), seafood clay pot combination was good for once- lots of seafood, scallop and prawns with calamari, crispy pepper and salt pork ribs - it was good too.

The fried rice was a failure- nothing special & plain. The ham and mixed vegetables were so little and dry too. The service was so-so despite I asked so many times for glass of warm water they ignored me. I didn't foot the bill but I guess it wasn't worth it. Other Chinese restaurants were better in Chinatown.

Drove up to Mt Dandenong for once and the view was superb. Air was fresh and scenery was great. However the food at the restaurant was too pricey. All I could afford was a small Caesar chicken wrap and a cup of hot chocolate (total of $10+) because the mains at the restaurant were mostly $22 and above for a simple dish excluding drinks or desserts.

I bought a Samsung Tablet 7" from Kogan site and it was well worth to purchase it from there. Service was great. The product was actually delivered out from Hong Kong. Price was reasonable and the product worked well till today. Good and trusty website to purchase and compare prices for electronic products. Even their own brand products are good too!

Recently we went for a lunch buffet at MESH. It was just opposite my company so our suppliers took us there for a Xmas lunch party. It was packed with people due to the occasion and bookings were all full. Food varieties were good despite the main meals such as Fish, Roast and Chicken were taking such a long time to serve. The cold entrees were good and wide selection. The desserts were great! I must say the petite tarts, cakes and ice creams were fantastic though i wished there were more ice cream flavors.

The cold platter dishes out the steamed prawns and they were juicy and nice! Worth while to visit with an empty stomach. Also one gets a glass of wine with the buffet.

Mom bought a take-away Indian mee goreng from this restaurant. The people were friendly and no doubt great in service but the food was not good at all.
The stir fry noodles had too much sugar in it and tastes too sweet and for the price of $10+, it was not worth it.
The food needs to be reviewed and tasted again.

Had a Gold class movie session with my mom recently for Hobbit 2 at Century. The lobby sitting was rather crampy compared to Knox. Food was so-so and rather expensive (as expected)

The popcorn served was lousy and not crunchy at all.
The worst is my gold class seat had bits and pieces of popcorn and food which other customer have left! It was dirty and the staff didn't do a massive clean up! Not impressed at all if it wasn't for a free gold class ticket from my company- i would complain heaps.

Ordered a New York mini cheesecake and banana bread along with Hot chocolate. I must say the cheesecake was great and smooth. It wasn't sweet but rather expensive at $4.95 for one small one.

The banana bread was the biggest I've ever had for $4.95!
Cheap and good! The utensils provided were of good quality. Coffee and drinks as usual lived up to its standard. Love it!
