Getting lost in Mandurah

Image
Train ride to Mandurah, appreciating the peace and quiet in our Peel Region. Coffee and sunshine 😎 We recently took a train ride to Mandurah for a spontaneous day trip. We departed from the Stirling Station and parked our car at the station for free (free parking on the weekend). We bought a family day ride ticket for $12.80 which we figured was cheaper than tagging on with our Adult SmartRiders. A tip for you, a family day ride entitles you to inclusive Transperth rides for the whole day (bus, train, ferries) for 2 adults and 2 children. However, it is still cheaper to purchase a family day ride even if there is only two of you (Adults) because on the weekend, the ride is more expensive and if you are traveling far say 3 zones or more. It took approximately an hour to get to Mandurah. From the Mandurah Station, we took the Mandurah Shuttle Bus (588 or 589) which goes around the major sites in the city and returns to the station. We didn't have any trouble

Thaitation

Thailand cuisine is a favourite cuisine for many including myself. Thaitation hasn’t been around for long but it has certainly made itself known in the Floreat Forum block. It’s a small restaurant with an inviting alfresco dining area. And you can expect full bookings on busy Friday and weekend nights. Upon entering, you instantly hear the chefs in the kitchen speaking in Thai, knockings of woks in the background and you are hit with smell of fish sauce and coconut milk. You see tanks of fish oil and coconut milk stacked up on the kitchen bench. They offer authentic yet modern flavours. If you were having difficulty finding a reasonably priced Thai restaurant, Thaitation has hit the spot in terms of pricing and flavours! They offer seasonal menus (Think seafood in coconut broth served in a whole coconut), as well as crowd favourites including pad Thai, tom yum and chilli crispy chicken.

Ramen King

Here is my long overdue rave about my favourite ramen place in Perth, Ramen Keisuke Takeda inside the Melbourne Hotel. Seats by the service area Chef at work on the launch day in Perth ALL about Melbourne Hotel precinct  Chef Keisuke Takeda was crowned the Ramen King at the 2011 Tokyo Ramen Championships, an annual competition between 30,000 ramen chefs. He sells nearly 10K bowls a day across all of his stores around the world. Chef teaches us the politeness is to 'slurp' the noodles at ramen restaurants He has chosen Perth as his first Keisuke ramen bar to land in Australia and I love it when restaurants only do what they do best. And your choice is limited to three options from the menu. Yes, the only food on offer here at Keisuke is ramen. Moreover, he generously offers free serves of boiled eggs (not too hard) and flavoured/marinated bean shoots (delicious!) which you can even use to adjust the broth to your taste. Free flow of boiled eggs o
