Day 3 - More Eating and Shopping!
Here's Daddy and me along Haystreet, one of the major shopping belts in Perth. My parents put me in a carrier so that I can help them navigate the way. Hehe...
Christmas comes early in Perth!

We had a lazy brunch at the praiseworthy 'The Boatshed', off Coode St Jetty, South Perth. Away from the crowd, it's hard not to feel relaxed. We had Traditional Breakfast, Eggs Benedict and sampled their Smoked Salmon with Scrambled eggs. Even more wonderful was the concluding coffee, which was incredibly fragrant and smooth.
Fantastic view of the Swan River.
Food was excellent and so was the coffee!
Leaving the restaurant, feeling totally gastronomically satisfied. :))
Checking out the jetty outside the restaurant.
Nicole, on seeing a pack of egrets, suddenly broke out in loud chuckles. We ran around, chasing after those egrets.
Today is an unusually sunny day - hot but not humid. We did apply some sunblock onto Nicole's face and body but the relentless rays proved to be a little too strong for her delicate skin to bear. Soon her face started to show some patches of red. We slapped oodles of the white stuff onto her skin to prevent any further sun damage. :P (Later in the evening, her skin on her face started to flake despite all our efforts.)
Some ice-cream to beat the heat?
We decided to stay out of the sun for now... so it's off to the malls to take a brief respite from the sweltering heat.

We drove to Leederville for dinner. We had a simple but satisfying plate of fish and chips - the best fish and chips we've ever tasted! Even better than the ones in Freemantle.
After dinner, we went next door, Greens & Co., for desserts. The massive room is lighted up with various sizes of round paper lanterns. Looks like a whimsical fairyland at night with all the lanterns lighted up.
The place is also decked out in comfy couches and their walls are plastered with assortments of movie posters from yesteryear to recent ones.
Their cake selection is huge and all look delicious! We had a hard time deciding which cakes to order and after much contemplation, unanimously voted for the Lemon Meringue and Chocolate Mocha Fudge cake. Decadent! :)))
And of course, some Latte and Mocha coffee to go with it.
Checking out some really chic-looking boutiques in Leederville...
