Lyv to Eat & Co. Went to Panda & Co. - Perth

Mrs. M is back in P-town. This means a catch up was overdue! When she asked me to choose a "cool place", I knew straight away where to take her and Miss D! Panda & Co.! 

Panda & Co. not only had enticing photos on their Instagram, their cafe in real life was cute and hip!

The three of us took an inordinate amount of time choosing our dishes as everything sounded unusual but tempting!

Poke Bowl ($17)

Miss D cleverly chose their yellowfin tuna poke bowl. This dish was not as saucy as the poke bowl we had in Freo Markets, but nonetheless delicious. The ingredients were fresh and the bowl was light but tasty and satisfying!

 

Mrs. M stole my menu item (just kidding), the soft shell crab linguine. 

Singaporean Chilli Crab Linguine ($21)

The linguine dish was also delicious. The chilli sauce was slightly too spicy, but did not overpower the sweetness and sourness of the sauce. That soft shell crab was also cute and tasty.

As for me, I ordered the Brekky Puffs ($15) even though I was meant to order the Korean Waffle (sigh). But no regrets, although the dish looked small, the potato filling in the puff was just the right amount. The puff was crispy and went well with the bed of smashed avo.

We also ordered their adorable drinks that tasted as good as they looked! 

Overall we enjoyed our time at Panda & Co.. The food was delicious and the atmosphere allowed for a looooong catch up session, which was just what we needed!

Pun of the Day

Food Heaven On Earth AKA Freo Markets - Fremantle

Just before Christmas Mr. T and I decided to have a short staycation in Fremantle. This was mostly to beat the festive season busy-ness and also because we weren't going to have the festive season off from work. So, when I say staycation, of course food was going to be a big part our our day! As we haven't been to Freo in a few months, we were very excited to visit and try everything that has caught our eye from people's posts on social media.

Poke bowl from IPoke Bar (Small $12)

The first stall we visited as IPoke Bar. I have been dreaming about their poke bowls ever since I saw the photos! You can sense the freshness and the tastiness just by their photos. It's even better in real life. Now, I can't remember everything they put into my bowl, but there was brown rice, leafy greens, prawns and edamame beans. This was delicious! I had to fight Mr. T for my fair share as he was just scooping mouthfuls into his mouth non-stop! And, I actually felt healthier after I ate it!

Twist potato with Cheese and Bacon from Collabo ($7.90)

After the light and satisfying starter we had, I decided for something the exact opposite. The deep fried twisted potato smothered with bacon, cheese and tomato sauce. It is actually quite difficult to eat this while standing up, so getting seats is highly recommended. As it looks and sound, there's nothing healthy about this dish, except for the fact potato is a vegetable, so it's pretty much a salad, right? Well, either way, this was deep fried and delicious, there was plenty of topping and it's served piping hot and fresh.

Sticky Rice and Mango Waffle from Muffle & Co. ($12)

For desserts we just had to have the egg waffle from Muffle & Co.. Personally, I was going to go for something smothered in chocolate, but Mr. T convinced me to try their mango sticky rice Muffle. Well, he made the right decision! This was sweet, tasty and satisfying. They put some white chocolate within the waffle itself, which was a nice surprise. The mango and coconut sorbet was creamy and refreshing, while the sticky rice added a really nice sweetness!

So, those were just some of the treats we had from the Fremantle Markets. We love how everytime we come here there's always something to discover or re-discover and at the end of it all we leave with happy tummies!
