This Sunday my friends and I headed to the Fremantle Markets to try some crepes which many claim to be the most delicious in Perth. So of course, we had to go. I forgot what the crepe place was called, but it was pretty well priced around the $10 mark. I chose a banana and strawberry crepe with cinnamon sugar ($7.50). My friends chose cheese ones with condiments including spinach, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms and chilli beans, not altogether though. It was quite nice, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the best crepes in Perth. Like everything, it depends on what you look for in crepes. I quite like the crepes at Icey Ice which I'm sure everyone else thinks are pretty average. I just like them because they're crunchy. I also like the crepes from Crepe Cafe and Pancakes at Carillon, which is pretty much all the p;aces that I've ever tried crepes... Yeah, I'm not a crepe expert. But the cheesy ones were awfully oily.
After walking around we came across some giant donuts. Cholesterol Free, Saturated Fat Free... and other healthy things. But when you see the owner pull the giant ball out from the deep frier, dripping in oil, you can't help but question its healthiness. Nevertheless, we tried the dark chocolate one. It was actually very nice! Especially since it was so fresh. It was nice and crunchy on the outside and doughy on the inside. It was rolled in a cinnamon sugar (I think) and I think they were just a bit too generous with the sugar. With every bite I took, my lips were entirely coated in sugar in a rather disgusting way. So towards the end I found myself wiping the sugar off the donut before eating it. I'd still go back though. I'd really like to try the blackberry jam one because it looked amazingly pretty! $4 each.
We also got the twisty fried potato which was tasty towards the centre of the stick because there was more flavour there. It was kind of a mix between a chip and a crisp... At first it was a little odd, but got better. $4 each.
This made us super thirsty, so we went around to find somewhere to grab a drink. We walked by Fremantle Bakehouse and I desperately want to try it now! They have a giant scone! I love scones! Back on track now, I remember driving by a cafe on Collie St that I hadn't tried before so we went for a wander and came by Maraschino Tea & Espresso Bar. It was already 3pm so their kitchen had closed. We all just ordered a pot of tea instead. We had to wait at least 10 minutes for the tea. My friend who got impatient went up to ask them about it and they said it was coming. We thought that maybe they were just letting the tea brew for us, but the waiter came out with our tea and a timer asking us to wait for an extra 6 minutes (the timer was set for 7 minutes). How long does it take to pour some hot water into a pot! So this was rather unimpressive. I can't say I dislike the place though, because I didn't actually try anything. The service on this particular day however was definitely not something to be desired.
I don't think I'd go try those crepes again but I would go for those donuts!!
I also have to try Greenhouse on St. Georges Terrace. I had no idea it was open til so late!
