Settler's House, York


We stumbled across this hidden little gem a year ago when we're on our way back to Perth from Beverly for Wildflower trip. Possibly, the best cheesecake I've ever had in WA, there were a few different flavour cheesecake displayed in the fridge. Baileys, Kahlua, Cookies and Cream, Strawberry just to name a few, they seems to just make cheesecake!

But without disappointment, we had the Baileys cheesecake and it was superb, just enough Bailey to taste, leaving a tinge at the back of your tongue, and yet you can still taste the creaminess and velvety from the rich cheese, not to mention, the portion size was huge, it is enough to share between 2.




This year, we were around the area, and we went back just for the cheesecake! Something changed though! They are making less cheesecake now, my beloved Bailey's flavoured cheesecake wasn't on the display fridge anymore, and the cheesecake that are on the display look a bit on the edge.

Nonetheless, we travelled to York just for this cheesecake, we've got to try again!

As you can see from the picture, the biscuit base looks a bit roughly made, perhaps the previous pastry chef left. But the texture of the cheesecake is still as good, even though i'd prefer Bailey's in my cheesecake!

Settler's House tucked behind the main strip in York (a small town 80km east of Perth city), it is also a hotel for you to put up a night there, the interior decor reminds me of Sherlock Holmes with the fire burning at the fire place - cosy!

Dao Vien Vietnamese

While we all know not to expect too much of spectacular experience when going to an Asian Restaurant, except for fast and tasty food. It doesn't bother me much if they were not providing top notch service or the tables were sticky, or using chipped crockery, as long as the food is good. Unfortunately ... Dao Vien is not like the others.  An empty restaurant with tired looking decor  Walking into the restaurant for lunch, immediately gave me a weird sense of vibe. It was hot and stuffy, I wondered if it was open as there were no other customers during lunch peak hour. We waited long for the lady owner to notice us and gave us a table. It was a huge place with lots of table but majority of the small table have dirty dishes that were left uncleared. Dirty tables all around us Well, first impression didn't quite make the cut, we were feeling uncomfortable and intimidated. Several negative thoughts were running in my mind, "did we just walked into a bad restaurant?&quo

Self-heating can of latte?

Image
Mom bought something "rather interesting" for me the other day, thought that I might want to try. Yes, a can of self-heating latte! I've heard of self-heating instant noodle bowl from Japan and also self-heating teriyaki chicken but never tried it myself. I'm not sure how popular this self-heating latte is, obviously I've never heard of it as I thought it is way to easy to get a cup of coffee anywhere in the world, be it a good cup of espresso or a rather ordinary cup of filtered coffee or maybe just get a can of nescafe from the vending machinece near you, but you get the caffeine kick whenever you want it anyway. So, on this rather ordinary day, I finally took up the courage and try it! Read through the complicated sounding instruction given (not at all complicated anyway, just sounds intimidated), read through the warning sign given, it sounds dangerous to me to activate the can.  Ok, so frist, turn upside down, remove seal on base of can and press acti

Happy Mid Autumn Festival

Image
It was Mid Autumn Festival/ Mooncake Festival/ Lantern Festival for every Chinese out there. It is also a day to reunite with your family; to chat, eat, drink tea and play lantern under the perfectly round moon. I have lost count on how many Mid Autumn Festival I've missed celebrating with my family. This year was one exception, I got to eat mooncake, drink tea, play lanterns and candles with my family. You'll never feel too old playing lanterns. When we were a lot younger back then, we used to play with candles, making it into a fire stove and started cooking with dried leaves where we picked up at the garden. Well, now that we have all grown up, we don't play with fire anymore, but focus more on decorating the garden with colourful paper lanterns. Mooncake - Pandan with double egg yolk Eating mooncake is a must-do in this festival, you wouldn't feel completed if you didn't have one. We used to fight with each other for the biggest portion with biggest
