Flying from Singapore to Perth, Australia, is a mere 5-hour journey, making it even closer than a return trip to Hangzhou. The airfare is surprisingly affordable, and the best part? No jet lag! It’s the perfect opportunity for a family getaway during the school break.
Upon arriving yesterday, I enjoyed a blissful night’s sleep at the hotel, waking up naturally and feeling wonderfully refreshed😌. For breakfast, we indulged in some luscious strawberries🍓 (which are not only more delicious but also cheaper than those in Singapore🤣), raspberries, and crisp little cucumbers🥒 that I picked up from a nearby supermarket the night before.
My child savored a cup of instant noodles I had brought along, exclaiming, “Mom, these noodles are so yummy!” [Laughing with tears R].
We set off from the hotel around 11:40 AM and hopped into a taxi to BESK, which is open 7 days a week from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Although they serve alcohol, the neighboring restaurant wasn’t yet serving food, so we took a leisurely stroll around the area. The neighborhood is incredibly serene, with few people around, and the weather and temperature were just right, creating a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere!
We already felt the pace was quite laid-back when we moved from China to Singapore, but Perth takes it to a whole new level of relaxation [Sly smile R].
The venue is divided into two distinct sections, blending an industrial design that is both vintage and trendy. The ambiance inside and out is simply fantastic (outdoor photos 16-18).
On the left, you’ll find the besk bottle shop (photos 12-15), boasting a 5-star Google rating and often hailed as the best bar in Western Australia, with numerous awards to its name. It’s a paradise for craft beer enthusiasts, like a mouse in a rice jar [Smug R], offering a wide array of alcoholic beverages.
On the right, the besk restaurant spans two floors, complete with indoor and outdoor seating (indoor and outdoor photos 6-11, food photos 1-5). Today, we ordered a medium-rare steak, and to our delight, it was perfectly cooked, with no trace of blood🩸; the meat was fresh and tender, and the sauce was divine!
We also tried a chicken dish, featuring three pieces of fried chicken, topped with peanut butter and a mix of nut ingredients, which was incredibly aromatic, crispy, and delectable! The only downside was that there wasn’t much for my 5-year-old to enjoy, so he munched on fries [Laughing with tears R].
But my partner was thrilled, savoring two refreshing drinks straight away🍻, feeling thoroughly satisfied! If you’re in Perth, this place is a must-visit!
As the first meal of our family vacation in Perth, we were absolutely delighted😌. We ate, drank, and laughed heartily, and I can’t recommend this place enough [Selfie R]👍.
