About forklore

West Perth heads to City West when cafe routines get tired—trading eggs on toast for yōshoku comfort food. The morning rush leans into savory weight: rich tonkotsu congee topped with chashu, mentaiko udon, and a chicken katsu sando spiked with yuzu slaw. Regulars make a beeline for the counter cabinet to snag a pork floss onigiri croissant or a slice of kaya meringue before trays clear. Tables turn briskly under a 90-minute limit, with two hours of free parking across the SciTech complex.

  • Savory Yōshoku Comfort: Rich tonkotsu congee, creamy mentaiko udon, and hamburg omurice replace conventional breakfast plates.
  • Crisp Katsu Sando: Juicy fried chicken stacked with crunchy panko crumb and bright yuzu slaw.
  • French-Asian Viennoiserie: A dedicated display counter turning out pork floss onigiri croissants, pandan pastries, and nostalgic kaya slices.
  • Streamlined Family Logistical Perks: Fast-turning service, an indoor playground across the way, and two hours of free SciTech parking.

  • Standout Chicken Katsu Sando

    Savory staples deliver serious texture and balance, highlighted by an ultra-crisp panko crumb, juicy chicken cutlet, and bright yuzu slaw.

  • Mentaiko Udon

    The cream and roe combination is absolutely perfect. It reminds me a bit of the recently popular carbonara udon. The noodles are very smooth and right amount of firmness.
