Continued from the previous post – Weekend at the Hyatt – Part 1. A not so good start in the morning We woke up hungry on Sunday morning, really looking forward to our room service breakfast. We sat in bed and watched cartoons on Foxtel while we waited for the food to arrive. We’d asked […]
Continuing on from the previous post… None of the complaints we had about the hotel were catastrophic by any means, but put together, the little annoyances left us disappointed, with a very poor impression of the hotel. Keep in mind the Hyatt is supposed to be a five-star hotel. Based on our experience, I won’t […]
We had a lovely time away last weekend. We stayed for two nights at the Hyatt Regency Perth. It’s just so nice to be away from all the mundane chores like grocery shopping and doing the laundry and dishes. We were booked in for two nights under the Awaken package, which included breakfast each morning, […]
Two Saturdays ago, we went to the shops in the morning and grabbed some brunch at the food hall. Jac had a steak and salad burger, which she rather enjoyed. The steak was freshly grilled and was quite tender. As Jac usually has to ask for “heavy lettuce”, she was very pleased with the generous […]
Last Friday I planned to have lunch with my workmates. But I packed Jac a bento box anyway. She asked if I could pack her a smoked salmon lunch. No problem! I don’t usually wear gloves (you know, like proper lunch ladies wear!) when I pack our lunches but I did this time, as I […]
I used leftovers from our Korean/Japanese takeaway dinner in our bento boxes last Thursday. In Jac’s bento on the left: jaeyuk pokkum – stir-fried chicken and vegetables in a spicy sauce – I placed this in a lettuce cup so the red sauce wouldn’t stain the yellow plastic of the bento box; beef bulgogi, and […]
Last Wednesday night, I grabbed us dinner from Poppo Korean and Japanese Restaurant (Barrack St, Perth – see a previous takeaway dinner from Poppo, and a dine-in experience at Poppo, featuring my favourite sushi photos). I’d already eaten Japanese for my lunch that day, but Jac was really in the mood for Korean or Japanese […]
I felt like having a break from bento last Wednesday, but I made Jac some sandwiches for her lunch. In one sandwich: panfried salt and pepper chicken thigh fillet, lettuce, swiss cheese, french mustard and mayo. In the other: prawn mix (leftover tinned cooked prawns in seafood sauce with chopped spring onion), lettuce and cucumber. […]
Last Tuesday evening, Jac cooked a noodle stir-fry with rice noodles, chicken, vegetables and tinned small prawns. Jac wanted to try the tinned cooked prawns – call me a snob, but I would never buy tinned prawns (and now, having eaten them in this dish, I still wouldn’t buy them! :)), but this was a […]
I was really looking forward to the arrival of these new bento boxes I bought recently on eBay. They are plastic bento boxes, two-tiered, with a lid and removal mini food divider for the top smaller tier and a black bento belt. I believe the two tiers hold a total of 750 mL, but I’m […]
