TWR Lounge Bar

-

It was the attention to detail as well as the sophistication and top-notch service but most of all, tasty cocktails served with perfection that crowned the Crown Tower's The Waiting Room (TWR) as the WA's Best Cocktail Bar in 2017 AHA-AON Hospitality Awards for Excellence and the best bar in 2018 Gourmet Traveller Australian Hotel Awards.

It is a huge achievement for the team at The Waiting Room (short for TWR), a stylish cocktail bar that opened in 2016 and already well known to many WA patrons who love impeccable service paired with good vibes if the three-tonne chandeliers and its luxurious decor and even better drinks are anything to go by.

If you are still not convinced that this bar delivers, you may be impressed by the fact that they sell approximately 2.5k caramel espresso martinis each month (one of the best cocktails on the menu and is here to stay!); that has to mean something!

Caramel espresso martini on High Coffee menu

On the menu are modern interpretations of classic cocktails such as Holy Moly! which is a modern twist on the classic Bloody Mary and is made of Rutte Celery Gin, salmon fat washed Talisker 10, tomato shrub, watermelon rind, shiitake, sriracha, sumac, worchester sauce and celery bitters. It has savoury notes with slightest kick of chili, and if you aren't cringing when you read this, it might just be your thing.

Holy Moly! was my favourite cocktail of the night!

Sure, the prices may scare few people but the care, the thoughts and experiments that go behind every single cocktail on the menu really makes you appreciate the drink. Assistant bar manager Jay Dharan and the bar staff such as Stefano are dedicated and passionate about creating an experience for customers, creating an extensive menu with interesting ingredients and the backstory listed below the name of each cocktail -just a simple indication of the passion that TWR represent as an award winning bar. Currently they are showcasing some new and old faves on their menu through different ages such as golden age, jet age and renaissance creating an experience rather than just service. That's not to say they don't offer other drinks such as wine and non-alcoholic drinks as well as some seasonal drinks (we were tipped that mulled wine may surface on their menu during winter *shhhhh..*).



Whether it be an after work drink, a romantic hideaway or afternoon tea, TWR can transform from casual lounge during the day to a sophisticated cocktail bar at night with live music entertainment on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. They offer brunch on weekends and high coffee every day until 5pm as well as special offers such as Make your Own Gin Menu (for World Gin Day) which is subject to change with different trends.

Pietro Gelateria

I am loving these local, handmade gelato places popping up around Perth in the recent year. I remember the days when getting icecream went only as far as the Baskin Robbins, icecream truck or supermarkets (not that I have anything against that)! Perth people can now get picky with choosing what sort of icecream or gelato and flavours. Pietro Gelateria is fairly new to the icecream-scene in Perth, and follows suit from Whisk Creamery in Northbridge and Subiaco, Chicho Gelato in Northbridge, Kuld Creamery in Highgate and Roho Bure icecream in South Fremantle. In contrast, they offer different alternative gelato- Modern Sicilian. These guys are located in Vic Park with alfresco sitting area perching out from the Park Centre on Albany Hwy. The gelateria offers fresh, delicious flavours and keeps flavours trendy and exciting. I tried multiple flavours because every flavour sounded so intriguing - ricotta, orange, d.choc / orange, fennel / lavender, earl grey / saffron, rose water, pis...

THE honeycake

Honeycake is the first WA operated cakery specialising in traditional Czech layered cake from a centuries old Bohemian recipe. It incorporates layers of smooth, creamy caramel topped with walnuts and honey crumbs using natural, preservatives free ingredients. Not only do they sell cakes, but they range from icecream pops in collaboration with #pashpop, to different flavours of honeycake including chocolate, cheesecake and now PANDAN! I still cannot believe the first time I've tried the cake. Velvety smooth, and just a pleasure in my mouth. Luckily, they are always generously offering tasters at their shops - courtesy to the owner Simona, a lovely lady who has passion for her delicious creation and the customers. They take cake orders too - at least two days in advance, including a premium gift box with value of $49 which can be made of two flavours. It's sure to be an impressive gift to give to your loved ones! 💓 Pandan Honeycake premium giftbox $49 (You can mixmatch...
