Jean Pierre Sancho Cafe – Perth City, Australia

Big Roy

Was here on my second day in Perth after my grueling first day at the coffee school. It was a Sunday so many places were closed. I spotted this place while driving and all really by chance. So I parked the rented car on the side of the road and went into the cafe to place my order. To my surprise, this cafe has many awards for their bakery and also some business of the year for 2012. Rating: 4/5. Taste: Pretty good but could be better if they can heat up for us. The raisin and croissant were good! … Continue reading Jean Pierre Sancho Cafe – Perth City, Australia

胡须张 Formosa Chang – Taipei, Taiwan

Big Roy

Friends who frequent Taipei will know this name. In direct translation is Beard Zhang. This is not a pub or an attraction. It’s actually a well known economical rice value packs takeaways (便当), which is almost everywhere in Taipei… and expanding outwards. Came highly recommended by a friend (Thanks Elaine!), so I had to try this on my 2nd day in Taipei! This is great for those stuck in the hotel rooms cos of bad weather or too lazy to go out. 🙂 They started from just doing these value packs and now they have dishes so you can just … Continue reading 胡须张 Formosa Chang – Taipei, Taiwan

牛轧堂 (Beef Noodles) – Taipei, Taiwan

Big Roy

Went to Kunming Street as I was recommended the best beef noodles at 牛店 which is just across from this shop that I’m writing about but they do not open in the afternoon after 2.30pm and reopens only at 5.30pm. I guess their business must be damn good cos they were busy preparing for that night’s business. Hence no choice, I crossed the street and spotted another beef noodles shop. The deco looks neat and decent and the boss of the place warmly welcomed us to take a seat upstairs after we placed our orders. Video of the tenderness of … Continue reading 牛轧堂 (Beef Noodles) – Taipei, Taiwan
