Flipside Burger Bar, North Freo

Flipping it at North Freo

I don't usually head up to the north-side of Freo as there aren't much to do, so much so that I only know Mojo's bar and Harvest Restaurant is around that area. And that day I've finally decided to "Flipside"!

Staff getting slammed
Flipside at North Freo has a team of young and energetic staff pumping out burger after burgers, all I heard was the sizzling from the grill, phone ringing asking for takeway and a constant gentle shout for pick ups. Decor was minimal, simple and effortless, with just a long community table serving dine-in patrons and 2 tables outside who fancy the chill. The rest of the space filled up with chairs/stools reserved for takeaway customers because the wait can be up to 20mins.

Ciabatta roll as burger buns 
With not much choices from the menu, I've got ourselves a Chilli-Ander Chicken burger ($12), a BBQ Bacon & Cheese burger ($12) and a serve of Thick Cut Chips ($4.50) to bring home. After about 30 minutes wait and a few awkward stares at other patrons, I was delightfully munching on the HOT chips while driving. I know eating while driving is as dangerous as using the mobile phone while driving, but I couldn't resist the thick crunchy hot chips with powdery yet waxy center, they were one not to be missed.

Chilli-Ander Chicken Burger
Both burger were great, the beef patty and the chicken breast were juicy, tender and with the right amount of char-grilled flavour. Chilli-Ander burger comes with chicken breast, red pepper relish, rocket, mayo and fresh coriander. Kudos for using fresh ingredients, although it's not as spicy as I would like, but the red pepper relish has a good balance of smoky, heat and sweetness. Same as the BBQ Bacon & Cheese burger, it was of using great quality produce and the BBQ onion relish added great flavour to the burger, tasty nonetheless.

Overall, it was a good burger and the chips were great, service was ok and they are happy to take over your burger next door - Mrs Brown, where one could enjoy the burger with better ambient and perhaps over a few glasses of G&T.

With the rise of more local gourmet burger bar, we can only be grateful for it and hopefully one day these gourmet burger bar are able to replace those dodgy burger/fast food joint.

Dao Vien Vietnamese

Image
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
