Big Breakfast At Victoria Park

It is a place where you can have all day breakfast, butter and honey, scrambled eggs, poached eggs and maple syrup. The big breakfast was definitely value for money considering its location being so close to the city. The mushrooms were simply fabulous! The coffee was also very nice. Crumpet is a nice looking tiny little cafe. It was a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back for those mushrooms!

Among the dishes in their menu includes crepes with strawberries, banana, nutella and cream; eggs benny; big breakfast (my personal favourite); eggs benedict with salmon; mushrooms, rocket, onion jam, grilled haloumi cheese on toast; sausage omelette; smoked salmon with feta cheese; spinach fetta and pine nut omelette.

 

Most people who live in Victoria Park don't even know it exists due to its very bland exterior. The interior on the other hand is acceptable with a simple mural painting on one of the feature wall. You will definitely find yourself fighting for a table as they simply don’t have enough in their tiny internal space.

Dim Sum @ Victoria Park

As mentioned in the previous post, Victoria Park has many Asian restaurants dotted along the busy Albany Highway due to its proximity to both Perth city center and Curtin University. And it offers an alternative place for people craving for Dim Sum without having to caught up in traffic jam and struggling to find a parking spot in the overcrowded Northbridge or Chinatown.

You can have equally delicious Dim Sum in Emma's Seafood & Dim Sum Restaurant at Victoria Park. The ambiance of the restaurant’s interior is a fusion of East meets West. This place is popular for their lunch or dinner dim sum. As with all other Dim Sum restaurants, waitresses will push their carts around and you just pick whichever dishes that look appealing to you. 

Among the delicious Dim Sum includes: scallop dumpling, egg tart, bbq pork buns, rice flour rolls and deep fried squid tentacles.

Address: 886, Albany Highway, Victoria Park, WA, 6100, Australia.

Roast Pork Rice @ Victoria Park

Victoria Park is indeed a wonderful place for food with its proximity to Perth city center and yet without the traffic chaos of the CBD. Another major plus point is that parking here are all free! There are plenty of car parks along the street or the nearby huge open car park of Coles shopping center.

Many Asian students live in this area due to its close distance to Curtin University. As a result, Asian restaurants mushrooming along the vibrant Albany Highway to cater to this demand. One of them is the Good One BBQ. Its specialties are Chinese BBQ Hong Kong style.

You can't dine at a Chinese BBQ restaurant without ordering the roast/BBQ meat as it's their specialty after all. The roast pork hanging in the window was particularly enticing to look at and that’s exactly what I ordered. It is a typical Chinese BBQ restaurant where you can listen with drooling anticipation as the chef chopped the meat for your order with a bone-crunching cleaver striking the meat on a thick wooden chopping block. The roast pork is crisp crackling on top followed by a band of soft melting fat, with the thickest layer being salty, meaty and juicy pork. 

My short and brief recommendation is that their Roast Pork Rice is a must try. With only A$10 per plate, it is more than enough for one person. The best time to try this dish is during lunch time when the roast pork are still fresh right from their kitchen behind.

More On Penang Food In Perth

When you are away from home, you will always have the craving for your hometown dishes. Fortunately there is quite a substantial number of northern Malaysian people migrated and living in Perth. Not sure whether it is related to the current political situation in Malaysia. But anyway some of them set up their own restaurant business and guess what, they do what they know best; offering their hometown cuisine to foreign customers. 

This particular restaurants recently opened by a group of Langkawi people offering Malaysian and Penang dishes. I was delighted when I discovered that they have Penang Hokkien Mee and Fish Head Bee Hoon soup!
