Elixir Coffee Specialist


Elixir Coffee opened its door earlier this year in January, has since gain great amount of respect from Perth's coffee buff, they are even rated as 1st in Top 20 Cafes in Perth by members of Perthcoffeescape. Well, I've only just get around to this little chic cafe last week to check it out.


We could literally smell the perfumy coffee once we get out from the car, and we can't wait to order a cup of flat white and cappuccino. Because we were there close to closing time, most of their cakes and pastry had all sold out.

I can see why they are able to call themselves a coffee specialist, our coffee came out looking great, the milk was smooth, velvety and sweet. They were using their own blend for milk coffee when we were there, and the blend they were using reminds me of - MEN (it has nothing to do with men's body odour). It was the taste of the coffee, it was strong in flavour and masculine in character but it wasn't bitter nor sour at all with a smooth finish, thus reminds me of a big piece of steak that most men love.  I don't know if other people feel the same way like I do, perhaps it could just be my own personal opinion as I'm more accustomed to the strong but aromatic with chocolaty and fruity note especially my personal favourite - Amaro Gayo from Ethiopia.

One thing for sure, Elixir's coffee it's quite unusual in a way and you don't get to taste this elsewhere in Perth, they don't call themselves specialist for no apparent reason. On the side note, I just love the baby blue croatian cups.

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
