MIX : Korean-Mexican Fusion, Perth 6000

Located at Equus Arcade, is a cute (I think anything that's groovy is cute :P) restaurant called MIX, serving Korean flavours with a Mexican twist!

I was so pumped when I found out this place opened! When I was watching those American food shows that always showed Korean-Mexican food trucks, I was like daymn why can't Perth have something like that?! But my dreams came true :P

Came here with my mates for a catch up since they also wanted to try Korean-Mexican food! :)

Spicy Chicken Quesadilla [$10.50]

Ohhh the goooey melted cheese! The spicy chicken made this quesadilla delicious! However, I would prefer if there was salsa or something fresh (besides the guacamole) with it because I only managed to eat one LOL

Combos: 5 in One [$20]

We ordered:

•  bulgogi & kimchi w/ mango salsa - great combination of flavours, I really liked their kimchi, it was not too fermented (just how I like it)
• spicy chicken & pickled raddish w/ cucumber salsa - I enjoyed this taco the pickled raddish complemented the spicy chicken well; made it more interesting!! :)
• tofu & avocado w/ mango salsa - a refreshing taco perfect for summer - even a meat-eater like myself enjoyed this taco! :) 
• grilled fish & coleslaw w/ roasted salsa - originally I wanted my fried (I've had bad experience with grilled fish before) but they said it would take a while for the oil to heat up so we chose the grilled fish. I was surprised by how nice it tasted - great seasoning and cooked well - the fish wasn't dry at all ! Thumbs up! :)
• pork & cucumber kimchi w/ tomato salsa - this was probably my least favourite (but maybe that's because it was cold when I had the chance to eat it) - despite that it was still delicious :P

Chips in the tray - Kimchi Fries [$10]

Far back - Sweet Potato Chips (which was complimentary usually $6)

the chips closest to the sauce - Spiced Fries [$5]

Kimchi Fries: a different take on your chilli con carne fries. Bulgogi beef, kimchi, tomato salsa, melted cheese on a bed of crispy french fries - that's how Mix does their Kimchi fries! Sounds delish yeh? Well it was and I am craving for some right now as I am typing *drools* - Please give this one a try :)

Sweet Potato Chips: These were given complimentary to us and we were like YAY ! such a nice gesture from them :) We enjoyed this a lot :) It was nice and crispy and I was so happy that they sprinkled salt over as well mMmMmm

Spiced Fries: Your regular french fries sprinkled with a generous amount of korean (?) seasoning (which I don't know what it is - an excuse to go back and try it again!) which tasted even more awesome when dipped in the spicy mayo! 

Overall: Maybe it's because it's the first time I've ever eaten korean x mexican food, but I am loving this place so far and can't wait to go back. I do recommend that you at least try this place out for the experience. It's cheap eats as well.

Food: 4.5 /5
Atmosphere: 3.5/5 

Service: 5/5 because of the free chips HAHAH ;)
Will I go back? Yes yes yes! I can't wait
Recommended? Definitely!

Mochachos - Warwick

After months of anticipation Mochachos has finally opened today! YAYERS! Mochachos is franchise Mexican fast food store that just opened at Warwick.  I've been waiting for so long since there are no decent near-by Mexican chains near my crib =_= 

 Anyways, so my bro & I decided to grab take-away for the family and guess what? they have drive-thru! (yaaaayers to not needing to change out of my PJs!). So obviously, we went through drive-thru, the employee seemed to lack knowledge of the menu since he seemed a bit lost after we ordered a family feast (which consisted of a whole chicken, beegest chips, and 4 bunz) & the base 'dynamite' (the spiciest option – we were the first customers to order that =D). He asked us which one is that? He then gave us the menu, so we could point it out but he still seemed lost. I guess that’s okay, since it their first day opening the store and the employee must be new or something. 

We waited a while at the drive-thru..wasn’t sure why though, but the manager (I think) offered free coffee/ hot choco and apologised for the wait. The wait didn't bother us much. So after I don’t know how long, we finally got our order and we also got some free choc chip cookies :D

(Please ignore the background haha)

 The chips, I am not too sure if it was a mistake or not… but it was definitely not “BEEGEST”.. it was a smaller portion than I expected – (could only serve one person!). Despite that, they were crispy chips, sprinkled with periperi salt (please correct me if I am wrong) 

The "bunz", were just sesame burger buns you can purchase at the supermarkets.

 The chicken…well they were spicier than Nandos “extra hot”. It was cooked nicely, the meat was tender. My tongue was on fire so I couldn’t really taste the flavours. But that’s all I could say. It wasn’t like “woah this is tasty shiz, I gotta eat more”.

 I will be going back to try it out their other food (I hope their quesadilla is tasty!). I don’t think they were at top-notch today since their employees still seemed under-trained and it was kinda busy for them today.
