Our last day in Perth. To be honest, I can’t wait to go home. The weather getting really hot here and my skin is already sunburnt and peeling quite bad.

Most of the morning was spent shopping. We drove all the way to Belmont Forum Shopping. The suburb mall is a nicer place for retail therapy. More locals and less tourists if compared to Hay Street in the city.

For lunch, we went to Mount Lawley for Grill’d burger. Parking was a bit tricky but we managed to find a decent spot just a few blocks away from the restaurant.

There was a bit of miscommunication problem after we ordered our meals. I have no clue how the girl who took our order could misheard ‘Baa Baa’ Burger as Mighty Melbourne.

It wouldn’t be such a problem if it did not have bacon on it. We sent the burger back and asked for one without bacon. Then I recalled, the lamb burger never comes with egg on it. Aslan reconfirmed my order and the one the sent to us earlier was in fact Mighty Melbourne and not Baa Baa Burger.

In the end, they had to make three burgers before getting my order right. I feel guilty, if I had pronounced it clearer, perhaps they wouldn’t get my order wrong. I offered to pay for the two burgers but they refused my money saying I should be careful next time. Still perplexes me how Baa Baa could sound like Mighty Melbourne.

 

Burgers from Grill’d are worth all the calories. I am so going to miss this once I go back to Kuching… Boohoo.

After shopping and lunch, we relaxed for a while before heading out with the rest of the family to King’s Park.

Aslan’s parents wanted to go on the tree top bridge but by the time we got there, it was already closed.

Since there was nothing much to do, we took some photos instead.

I can’t imagine myself wearing shorts in Kuching without people giving me the stare. Come on, y’all, they’re decent length!

Not that I dare to wear hot pants. Oh no. Never.

We walked around the garden and just enjoyed the view.

Since Aslan and I had half an hour to kill, we decided to go for a drive to City Beach.  We underestimated the distance, the journey took at least 20 minutes. Lovely beach but abundant in terms of flies and dog poo.

As we were already late for dinner, we didn’t stay for too long at City Beach. Our last dinner in Perth was at Zafferano, a mediterranean themed restaurant located at the Old Swan Brewery.

Here are some of the dishes ordered:
