Croissant de Almendras @ St. Honor
Puff pastries made with butter are superior to those made with shortening. This is especially true when it comes to croissants. At St. Honoré, a bakery in the La Alameda neighborhood, you’ll find dazzling croissants with crunchy crusts and creamy almond fillings.

Bollitos with sweet chili @ Mi Vaquita Artesana
Bollitos are rolls made with corn flour. Sometimes they are mixed with pork chicharron; others are filled with ají dulce, packed in corn leaves and boiled in salted water. At Mi Vaquita, they are sliced and served with fresh Guayanés cheese and ají dulce jelly. The combination of salty chicharron chunks, sweet smoky ají dulce and melt-in-your-mouth crust keeps customers coming back for more.

Sancocho de cabaña @ Gaudi San Antonio del Golfo
Gaudi San Antonio del Golfo offers a magnificent view by the sea and the freshest fish available. House specialties include the fried fish served with french fries and ensalada rayada – shredded carrot and cabbage; and sancocho, a hearty fish soup cooked for hours with potatoes, yucca, carrots, onions, creole celery and more. If you’re lucky, you will find a whole fish inside the soup. Marlene, the owner, spoils visitors with her culinary creations and fresh fruit juices.

Patacones con ceviche @ Madera Fina
Patacones are crunchy green unripe sweet plantain slices fried until golden and patted to remove excess oil, pounded flat, salted and fried again until golden brown. Many people in Venezuela – and mostly in Maracaibo - top them with white shredded cheese and ketchup. At Madera Fina, patacones are formed as little baskets filled with flavorful and refreshing ceviche, a mix of fresh jurel from the coast, parsley, purple onion, ají dulce and lemon juice. Fish varies according to the season.

Cachapas de Hoja @ Mi Vaquita Artesana
Cachapas de hojas are made with corn dough, folded in a corn leaf and boiled in salt water for a few minutes. At Mi Vaquita Artesana, the dish comes with two homemade soft cachapas, fresh cream and Guayanés white cheese and a unique garnish of chives and ají dulce. Mi Vaquita Artesana is a relaxing place, surrounded by lemon trees in a neighborhood full of small family vegetable gardens.

Pan-Fried Patagonian Toothfish  @ Silks Perth (inside Crown Perth)
Silks is a fine dining Chinese restaurant at Perth's casino, offering high-end Asian food. The toothfish is their standout dish - four fish fillets with skin that's crispy and flesh that is ridiculously moist and soft. It's so flavorsome, elevated further by a delicious garlic and ginger sauce.

Vanilla Custard  @ Whisk Creamery
The days of soft serve from fast food joints have been replaced by a modern interpretation. Whisk Creamery has perfected the art of soft serve, with signature flavors that include vanilla custard, green tea and black sesame. You can customize your cone with toppings like salted caramel, strawberry coulis, mini-meringues and even popcorn.

Banana pannacotta @ Flinderz
Pannacotta on breakfast menus is in vogue at the moment, with variations springing up all over Perth. Texturally, Flinderz's quinoa granola with banana pannacotta, honeycomb, berries, nuts and honeyed jersey milk is all kinds of right, with crunch from the granola and toasted pistachio nuts, pops of juice from the berries and creaminess from the banana pannacotta.

Saffron Pannacotta @ Samson's Paddock
When a pannacotta has that sexy wobble, you can't help but get a little bit excited as it's set down on your table. Samson's Paddock's version is inventive with the use of saffron, accompanied by a scoop of hazelnut ganache, pralines and raspberry jelly.

Vanilla Soft-Serve Cronut @ Sugar & Nice
Just when you thought a cronut couldn't get more insane (I mean it's a deep-fried hybrid of donuts and croissants), Sugar & Nice decided to split it in half and fill it with dreamy, house-made vanilla soft-serve. It's then coated in a salted caramel sauce and accompanied by crunchy pieces of malteser milk crumbs. It's extremely decadent and oh so delicious! Share it among friends or eat it yourself. Either way, it's incredible.
