On the ANZAC Day public holiday we grabbed lunch at Spencer Village food hall. It’s great that Spencer Village is open on public holidays. When pretty much everywhere else is shut, you can count on Spencer’s for a good feed. Jac ordered some fresh rice paper rolls (AU$7 for 4 pcs) from the Vietnamese stall […]
21/04/2008 – fish and vegies. Panfried fish with steamed broccoli and carrots, steamed red cabbage and Jac’s “non-dairy potato bake”. The fish was coated in seasoned flour before frying. The steamed red cabbage was flavoured with Worchestershire sauce. The “non-dairy potato bake” was a cooking experiment that tur…
Monday – Chad, SRM and I went to Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth). Chad ordered the Singapore mi fun (or bee hoon, depending on which dialect you speak). It looked pretty good to me. You can’t really see it in this photo, but there was a lot of […]
I woke up on Monday last week with a hankering for French toast. So intense was this hankering that I was compelled to make French toast for my breakfast before I went to work. I was pretty impressed with myself. TFP’s early morning French toast Cut three slices of bread into halves. Beat two eggs […]
Here’s a large pasta combination (AU$10.50) we shared recently, from Aroma Cafe. Ravioli bolognaise: Potato bake: Penne in a creamy sauce with spinach and mushrooms: Tortellini in a creamy ham sauce: Sadly, it was rather bland. What is it with bland food these days? I don’t need over-salted food, I just want well-seasoned food. We [&hel…
Last Thursday Jac’s mum’s friend E cooked us another lovely meal, packed in her three-tiered tiffin carrier. Fantastic timing, as Jac was at hockey after work and I would’ve been far too lazy to cook much for my dinner. As it turned out, I was able to simply dig into this wonderful spread of home-cooked […]
I had the day off last Friday, which I spent at uni. I still have some work to do on the PhD thesis. I’m not going to elaborate, so please don’t ask about it. I’m only mentioning where I was to put the food into some sort of context. I started my day with a […]
Monday – I’d been looking forward to eating the pizza left over from Friday. We ate the pizza cold, of course. J brought in homemade soup for us both to eat with the leftover pizza. It was delicious and comforting, perfect for a cool autumn’s day lunch. And J very generously gave me her recipe […]
A fry-up for Sunday morning breakfast is always welcome. Fried eggs, bacon, tomatoes and garlic mushrooms. This was my plate, with all the pan-roasted garlic. Jac knows how much I love garlic (you guys know too, by now!). As you can see, I like freshly cracked black pepper on my tomatoes and eggs. The mandatory […]
12/4/2008 – Jac made a stew using a tin of cream of chicken soup, chicken stock, chicken thigh pieces, potatoes, carrots, celery and onions. She baked it in the oven in a casserole dish. It smelled and looked absolutely fantastic. She served me up a big bowl of the chicken stew with steamed broccoli and […]
