Organic Rosehip from Fremantle Market

I came across this in Fremantle Market with Mel and we asked the lady what it was about she told us that it was good and described the origin of it, I could not understand what she meant by the seed pods of roses (I thought it has some thing to do with pollens), and she convinced me by eating it in front of me, I was sold. I bought it and started my little research.


Carrying dark deep red like the colour of cranberries can be even mistaken for cranberries from afar.Rose hips are the berry-like fruits of the rose bush left behind after the bloom has died.

Rose hip is rich in Vitamin C
During World War II when imports of citrus products to Great Britain were limited, tons of rose hips were harvested there from the wild to make rose hip syrup as a vitamin C supplement for children. Or even for chinchilla and guinea pigs which can not disgest many food rich in vitamin C.It is excellent for me as I have a slight allegry to orange which is a common source of Vitamin C.Some horses eat rose hip too!

Rose hip is good for osteoarthrities
The anti-inflammatory properties of rose hips have recently been shown to be useful in the treatment of patients suffering from knee or hip osteoarthritis.

After 'soaking ' it in hot water for 20 mins



Rosehips are also commonly used to make herbal teas, by boiling the dried or crushed rose hips for10 minutes. They are edible as no filter is needed. Becareful as the taste could be acidic. Rose hips can be used to make great jellies, sauces, soups ,seasoning and salad toppings

Caution: Don’t use rose hips from plants that have been treated with a pesticide that is not labeled for use on edibles.Use organic rosehip

Madame Flavour: Green, Jasmine & Pear

Mel recommended this tea before I arrived ,we have been reading up on it and was both touched by the sincerity and on my recent and premier trip to Perth, I decided to get one for myself from Woolsworth :)

Let me share my secrets to the perfect cup of tea.

With my tea taster extraordinaire, I search for elegant loose leaf teas from boutique estates.

I dream up each blend, taking care, adding special touches of Australian spices and flowers.

The piece de resistance is the delicate, sensual infuser pod I use, created to give the larger loose leaves the space to unfurl and infuse to perfection.

It's quite obvious to note that each pod is unique.

 

 

 

 

 

  Voilà !

The tea is very light , sincere, however slightly dry, some syrup would do wonders to it,it is very very fragrant,you might consider brewing a pot and refreshen up the air using it instead of using chemical products.(i just had kimchi noodles and I brew the tea,it really wards off the kim chi smell ! :D )
It also gives a home-made feel with NO residue remaining on my jug or the glass. AMAZING! very few tea companies achieve this standard especially for green tea, not even the Japanese brands themselves :) (check out the TWG tea in the entries below and you would know what I meant when you see the bottom of the cup )

Stars: 8 /10
Super duper fragrant ! I could make a whole jug with only 1 satchet!

Perth : Cicerella’s Seafood

Address: Fisherman's Wharf 44 Mews Road Fremantle 6160

Cicerella’s Seafood in Fremantle ,Perth can be a tourist spot itself, it is like a must for every fish and chips lover who come to Perth.I understood when DM asked, 'Licia , have you tried the best fish and chips?'



For more than 90 years the name has meant not only the best fish and chips in a great location in the heart of Australia’s largest fishing boat harbour, but also freshly caught seafood including oysters, mussels, crabs and crayfish, enjoyed with beer, wine or champagne at the waters edge. Cicerello's recently even featured on an Australia Post stamp issue celebrating iconic Australian tourist destinations.

We unwrapped the packet of Cicerella's traditional fish and chips,
2 pieces of melting fish and lotsa chips !

 

 

  

Other than excellent melting fish (and chips) there were a collection of marine life that separates the counter and the seating area, I was trying to find Nemo ,especially when the story of Nemo ends up a an aquarium in Australia , I actually wondered if the restuarant was a part of the story.

It was my first time squeezing mayo out like that, fun!

Here's the bride and her entourage rushed in to shelter from the rain, standing beside the long aquarium behind them was the food counter.
 

 

There was F1 showing on TV making F1 fans like Frog very pleased,
no more trading off F1 for fish and chips 

 

Stars : 9.5 /10
(missing 0.5 due to the lack of free chilli sauce and tartar sauce on second serving)

Would definately re-visit!
