Breakfast noodle soup with egg

One of my favourite breakfasts. Instant noodle soup with an egg broken into it. On this occasion the noodles are Indomie Special Chicken flavour. The little brown specks you see floating in the soup are the fried onions that come in the packet of fragrant oil you add to the soup. When the noodles are […]

Work lunches

Wednesday – J had a craving for crispy chicken rice at Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth). I was happy to go along to Munch. Once again, I was influenced by what others around me were eating – the mee goreng looked saucy, bountiful and delicious. I was pleased […]

Lunch at Caffe Italia with Cellobella

On Tuesday last week I had the pleasure of lunching with Cellobella. We’d planned to eat at Mai’s Vietnamese restaurant, which is supposed to be open for lunch seven days a week – but when we got there we were baffled and dismayed to find the iron gates padlocked, with no note explaining why. Feeling […]

Old camera, new photographer and… square eggs?

Special feature: photos by Jac! I’ve been using a Panasonic TZ3 ever since August last year. What did I do with my old camera, the Canon Ixus V? I gave it to Jac! She does use it from time to time (when she actually remembers she has a camera now!). Jac volunteered to be in […]

When the cat’s away, the SPAM comes to play!

A few of my work colleagues informed me that this week, Nova 93.7 FM replayed their Oh My Blog segment featuring The Food Pornographer. If you’re a new reader who’s checking the site out after hearing about it on the radio, welcome! Regular readers have no doubt been expecting this post. Yep, while Jac was […]

Meals at home

Jac made a chicken and vegetable (green beans, carrots and broccoli) balti curry last weekend, which she served with mini pappadams. I love this kind of curry sauce, with an oniony and tomatoey base. It’s fragrant and spicy without blowing your head off (though of course if you wanted it super hot you could simply […]

Happy birthday SRM!

We had afternoon tea at work last week to celebrate SRM’s birthday. This is the box of goodies he supplied, pre-cut at the bakery he bought them from, for everyone’s enjoyment! The carrot cake with cream cheese icing was a favourite for J while Chad rather enjoyed the chocolate slice; what I loved was the […]

Work lunches… crispy roast duck and farewell to Chad

Tuesday – the Noodle Box franchise has come to East Perth (118 Royal St). Here’s J’s Combo Box (small AU$8.50, regular $12.50), steaming hot. The Combo Box is supposed to include egg noodles, barbecue pork, chicken, beef, vegetables, prawn and shrimp in oyster sauce. J was disappointed to find she only got the tiny shrimps [&helli…

First Big Mac in over ten years

Jac had to go into work for a few hours last Sunday. Before she came home, she gave me a call and asked if I’d like her to grab me anything to eat on her way back. I asked for a Big Mac meal (burger, fries and Diet Coke). You know, it’s been over ten […]

Salad, grease and tiramisu

Saturday morning at the shops always begins or ends with eating. This was last Saturday: First, a two salad combination from Sumo Salad – Mexican salad and falafel salad. Jac ate most of this, but I had a taste. The flavours of the Mexican salad were delicious – the cheese, sour cream and chilli beans […]
