What We Ate 🍴

Gem Desset Bar & Cafe

We were invited to check out Gem Dessert Bar & Cafe last week. Check our post above for more info!

Chicho Gelato

Following dinner at Manuka, we wandered over to Chicho Gelato's relatively new store in Freo.

We might have forgotten the flavours though. Cappucino and two others 😅.

Bibra Lake Lunch Bar

Top down shot of pork belly and pork meatball banh mi
Roasted pork belly banh mi & pork meatball banh mi - $11 each

We needed to grab lunch and pop by Bunnings. So, Bibra Lake Lunch Bar was a bit of a no brainer 😋.

Phoever

Top down of shaking beef with vegetables and fried rice
Com bo luc lac - shaking beef fried rice $19.95

We rate Phoever for quick meals. Prices are reasonable for what you get (maybe a little more expensive as it's far, far away from Vietnamese heavy suburbs like Morley or Girrawheen, but still reasonably priced).

Top down of pho
Pho tai bo vien - rare beef & meatballs hofan $16.95
Top down of bun rieu
Bun rieu - crab meat vermicelli soup $17.95

Burger Freak

The Nightmare $28 - smash patty, fried chicken, steaky bacon, smoked BBQ pork belly, double American cheese, onion rings, B&B pickles, caramelised onion cream cheese, Freak'n burger sauce, Peggy Sue's BBQ & Sriracha

To round things off - Burger Freak's stunt burger - The Nightmare. It was actually very easy to eat and probably one of the least messiest burgers I've had. This was perfect for those who have a bigger than usual appetite. My barber's located pretty close to Burger Freak, so I guess I know where I'm going to be going after my haircuts now..
