Dome.. Kim Chee House.. Globe.. end of holidays~

13 July (Friday)
there's late night shopping today and shops doesnt close till 9pm.. we had brunch at home and went into the city in the late afternoon.. i was feeling peckish and we headed to Dome Cafe for a 'light' snack of wedges! Honey Senpai had a Honeycomb Goldrush Espreski while i had a large latte..

- our wedges with sweet chilli sauce and sour cream..

dinner was at Kim Chee House.. i wanted to order steamboat to share but Honey Senpai pointed out that all of their steamboats are beef-based.. i asked the waitress if they could cook the steamboats with pork or chicken and the answer was a firm 'No'.. well, we ordered other things instead:

- Fried Dumpling

- Seafood Pancake

- Kimchee Jeegae (Kimchee & Pork soup with Tofu in a spicy stew, served with Rice, Korean salad and Kimchee)

Results - Kim Chee House - Honey Senpai
1. Fried Dumplings = 2/5 (40%)
2. Seafood Pancake = 2/5 (40%) "too much flour.. can barely feel the seafood.."
3. Kimchee Jeegae = 3/5 (60%)

Results - Kim Chee House - Coffee Queen
1. Fried Dumplings = 2.3/5 (46%) "over-fried.."
2. Seafood Pancake = 2.5/5 (50%) "after Arirang, you wont eat this~"
3. Kimchee Jeegae = 3.1/5 (62%)

Ambiance: the Koreans over there made it feel very 'Korean'.. hehez..
Service: just okie.. wish they could do better though~
Prices: reasonable..
Overall: i'm sure there are better alternatives out there..

15 July (Sunday)
it's Honey Senpai's last day in Perth.. we rest and relax for the day.. and went for brunch at Globe Coffee House.. it only opened this week.. after promising to open in April, then May, then June.. oh well, the food and beverage served was really quite disappointing..

- Globe Burger

- Big Breakfast

- my English Breakfast & Honey Senpai's Latte..

honestly, i dont know what went wrong.. but my instant coffee with cold milk tasted better than their latte.. and a Lipton teabag would score higher points than their Elmstock English Breakfast Tea..

Results - Globe Coffee House - Honey Senpai
Big Breakfast = 1.5/5 (30%)

Results - Globe Coffee House - Coffee Queen
Globe Burger = 2.5/5 (50%)

Ambiance: cosy.. very nicely set up.. with a few tables for alfresco dining..
Service: not bad.. one of the waiters was pretty friendly..
Prices: a little over priced, considering the competition they have down the street..
Overall: will not be going there again~
