A cold roast lunch on a hot Sunday arvo

Last Sunday we went to my brother Mark and his wife Ange’s place for lunch. We hadn’t seen each other since before Christmas, before Jac and I went on our NSW holiday, and we were really looking forward to catching up.

Work lunches

Monday – I ate lunch by myself at Toraya Sushi while reading a book. Look! A heart-shaped spring onion! I ordered the teriyaki chicken lunch box, large size (AU$15.00). I really felt like having the karaage donburi (AU$9.00), but once again wanted to avoid eating a big bowl of fried chicken. With the large size […]

Rising Sun’s all-you-can-eat dim sum

On Sunday morning, we decided to try the all-you-can-eat dim sum at Rising Sun Restaurant, at 29 Manning Road, Cannington. The all-you-can-eat dim sum costs $11.00 per person, and is available on weekends from 10:30am till 2 or 3pm, I can’t remember (bad, baad TFP!). You pay at the cashier before you are seated, so […]
