M's Food Find #59

Honestly, this was one of those days where its deceivingly sunny. But its super cold out. By the way, more food coming your way right now. Just a little snack here.

Our little Fremantle weekend spontaneous trip landed us with hungry tumtums and snack attacks all the way. This is one of our pitstops: The Mexican Kitchen, right along the main strip nearby Monk and Dome.

Really kitschy and colourful decor. Perfect for a cocktail or two on a Sunday afternoon.

Service was pretty good given how we only ordered one item to share and they still treated us alright. I know places where they would literally show their unhappiness.









The Chicken Nachos! Chicken shredded strips were hidden in the middle of it all and we asked for extra cheese. If you are not a fan of olives like a few of us were, I would suggest telling them upfront when ordering you don't want it. I mean it just saves the trouble of having to pick your way through!

The nachos were still crunchy and everything was very very generously topped. For AUD24, its a tad expensive but we shared. The next table had this particular order with paella and some melted cheesy thing which looks SUPER good. And the steak on a hot plate with wraps provided smells yummy. I love all the hands on approach.

However, you head down to Freo once in awhile for those who do not live closeby, there are just so many other better choices out there... Nothing to rave about except the unique decor. Would I return? Hmmmmm, hawwwwwwww, don't reckon so. Maybe the slightly rude racist family on the next table tarred the experience.

Till my next food find, Mayy xo

Mayy's Craving for...KFC Nacho Cheese Tower

It has been weeks since KFC here in Perth introduced the Tower burgers. It is simply adding hash brown to their burgers. But there was a really special one: Nacho Cheese Tower.

This particular burger is made up of a thick chicken fillet, hashbrown, a nacho, topped with a special sauce, and nacho cheese! The commercials sure make them look so good, especially that layer of nacho cheese. Oh boy. They don't have cheese fries on the menu like they do in Singapore. So this is probably the enxt best thing I can find with cheese on it.

Anyhow, I had put trying this off because of the price (since one can get a better, healthier meal elsewhere) and the sinfulness of this burger. Suffice to say the burger lingers and pops up every day in my mind where I will always find an excuse to go have it. But to no avail, until today. Results were out early and I decided to rush out after showering. I was also very very hungry since brekkie was only an apple. Hence, a quick drive-through to KFC to satisfy both hunger and craving. I ordered a regular meal with Soho (at least a less sugary drink).

As usual, they always look better on telly and probably taste better in your mind. So if you get cravings, just give in to them once. I hardly go back for seconds after that. The chicken fillet was quite tough and there sure was not enough cheese involved here. I could taste the saltiness of cheese though. So that's somewhat comforting? The hashbrown to any burger is a wonderful idea. Wonderful. Soft and crunchy. Should be how the chicken fillet should taste like too. Crunchy skin and soft meat. =(

I wouldn't be going back for this one, I think. I much rather pay half the price for a Hungry Jack's stunner deal and have a sundae too. BUT, I do like my chunky fries from KFC...erm, all chunky fries will do actually. So work hard for that burger. ;) I think that's why I gave in to the craving today too. I felt I had earned it.

Till my next craving satisfied, Mayy xo
