NorthBridge Chinese Restaurant 30th Sept 2012

Sunday Morning Brunch in Perth

Looking for something to do after the 7km walk or 15km bicycle ride. Some hot tea to go with savouries or sweets. Tea has some caffeine so beware if you don't want another high ontop of the endorphins already flowing around.

View of busy Sunday morning crowd in front of the restaurant on Roe Street, Northbridge in Perth.


Fried Squid - The green chili added some spice. 1 piece per person to watch the cholesterol.

Ribs in black bean sauce - for meat lovers and if you are doing weights or trying to bulk up.


Shanghai Dumplings - don't pop the skin or you lose the soup inside. Nice after a swim in the ocean by the beach. Warms you up.


Prawn Dumplings - prawn fixation after the aerobics session.


Chicken Feet for those who like smooth & gooey taste with lots of bone to pick on. Low on carbs but energy foot if you are training for a half marathon.


Meat Dumplings wholesome with lots of mince pork. Some places add prawn to jazz it up. Also good for medium intensity weight training. Lots of protein.


Horse Radish Cake a traditional breakfast favourite best served warm after being pan fried lightly. Nice after a 30 minute aerobics or Pilate's session.

Steamed Roast Pork Bun with white fluffy pastry which has a slightly sweet taste. Light on the stomach and suits a yoga session afterwards.

Rice Crepes with prawns and soy sauce. Best eaten steaming hot from the steamer with chili. Avoid the oil dressing and go to the front of the aerobics class.


Silken Tofu with light sugar syrup. This is great if you did not do any physical activity before coming to brunch. High protein with some sucrose to kick start the day.


Steamed rice in lotus leaves. A filling dish with mince pork, yolk of preserved eggs and glutinous rice. Steamed after being wrapped in lotus leaves. Definitely for the ultra long distance bike rider who needs to increase blood sugar levels quickly. High GI (glycemic index) beware if you don't need the carb overload.


The seating is reserved when you turn up at the door. Usually there is a queue on a Sunday morning for brunch. No bicycle parking but runners are allowed. Porridge or rice congee is another alternative if want some carbs but don't want the fat. This is available at the restaurant.

Yummy Duck Restaurant Kuchai Lama 28th Sept 2012

Great Duck Food in Kuala Lumpur




Busy Friday Night in Kuchai Lama in front of the restaurant.



A healthy drink to start - soy bean milk warm, no sugar



The Trio of roasts - Canard or Duck followed by 2 pork roasts



The two pork roast savoury & slightly sweet



Crispy Duck meat spring rolls with duck meat. Crunchy outside with steaming hot vegetable centre of chopped carrots, cabbage and dried mushrooms.


The moist filling to balance the crunch of the crusty spring roll. Wish we had some mayonnaise.


After the spring rolls - Sweet roast strip of pork balanced with the salty roasted pork belly with a crackling pork skin.




Condiments and chilly to cut the fat in the pork belly: Green chilly, mayonnaise for the duck spring rolls. What a combination!



The moist and tasty duck breast below goes well with the ginger and chilly dressing in the lower right corner of the picture above. If you don't like the spicy tang of chili  and ginger then the savoury dark sauce above it goes nicely with steamed rice.




The menu at the Yummy Duck restaurant. Has photos to help you chose. Also comes with English subtitles.


How to get to the restaurant below. For reservations call 61379816299. Ring ahead as it gets busy. Eat well and duck fat is supposed to be good for the heart. Burp!

Dinner Trustee Perth 22 September 2012

Trustee a Bar & Bistro in the CBD on St George's Terrace. Spring 2012 in September.

Saturday at 6pm a beautiful crisp spring evening - slight breeze with coolness.
Lots of cool dames & funky dudes having a drink by the bar.



Waitress was tall and slender blond with nice Aussie twang and was attentive. Gave the host great service.

The short ribs were massive and tasty. Sweetish with a hint of apple.



Steak rib eye was tender and went well with the Henschke 2009.


Chateaubrian was roast beef with 3 accompaniments - Bearnaise sauce, ham & mushroom sauce, sweet salad. Also went well with the red wine.



The tower of polenta chips - gastronomic Jenga game. Moist with slight crunchiness on outside.




We had to skip desert as it was a very filling meal. After the drive home we managed to make room for more food.

A homemade apple cake with mango and peach ice cream from Peters - light and creamy. Try it - delicious/

Apple cake


Peters Ice cream - better then vanilla normal ice cream which is one of my favourites.


We then listened to "OneDirection" music and Gangnam from youtube.

Gangnam Australia is available on the "Age'' newspaper website. Try the link - weirdddd! http://www.theage.com.au/national/gangnam-style-canberra-style-20120921-26atu.html

What a great evening for the 22nd of September 2012.
