Last Tuesday night’s dinner was very simple – panfried basa fillets with salad. I ate the tartare sauce not only with the fish, but also as a dipping sauce for the salad. This fish was bought frozen rather than fresh but tasted absolutely beautiful – tender, moist and flaky. Jac managed to get a golden […]
Jac cooked us a very nice vegetarian dinner last Monday night – she was keen to try out a recipe from one of her vegetarian cook books – eggplant blinis with chive sour cream and stir-fried vegetables. The chive sour cream was easy to make – I just mixed sour cream with chopped fresh chives […]
Last Monday J and I decided to get design-your-own noodles for lunch from Noodlebox. J’s favourite sauce whenever she designs her own noodles is oyster sauce. She had thick egg noodles with double broccoli, snow peas, fish cake and roast pork with oyster sauce. I like the oyster sauce noodles too, but decided to try […]
It was a big family weekend last weekend – on Sunday we got together again to celebrate my dad’s birthday with a satay lunch. Jac’s and my contribution to the meal were two fruit platters. We cut the fruit up and arranged the platters on Sunday morning, just before we left for my folks’ place. […]
Last Saturday, we celebrated my niece Ruby’s first birthday. Ruby’s proud parents, my brother Mark and sister-in-law Ange, really put on a feast for all the friends and family who attended! The first things I ate upon arrival were a couple of these delicious mini frittatas, made by Ange. Jac happily helped herself to cheese, […]
Thanks for all your comments and interest in my posts about our recent stay at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Perth. I sent a letter to the Hyatt Regency Hotel Perth, dated 24th August, describing my disappointments and experience. I received an impressively prompt response from the general manager of the hotel, dated 28th August. […]
My workmate J recently bought herself a vanilla slice (AU$2.50) from Punch (Unit 4, 135 Royal St, East Perth). She kindly allowed me to photograph it before she sank her teeth into it. They aren’t the largest vanilla slices we’ve seen – J has quite small hands, and the vanilla slice was about as long […]
I packed our lunches in the Decor Tellfresh Quarters lunch boxes last Friday. I made us four different sandwiches: smoked chicken, spinach and mashed avocado; Swiss cheese and brinjal pickle (plus sliced red onion for Jac); curried hard-boiled egg with cucumber; tuna and mayonnaise mix with lettuce. I packed us each half a hard-boiled egg [……
This was my bento lunch last Thursday: another big salad (mixed greens, sugar snap peas, grape tomatoes, yellow capsicum, cucumber and baby carrots); half a smoked chicken breast, sliced and served in a lettuce leaf; and a mini quiche Jac bought me the day before. Jac bought the smoked chicken from Woolworth’s and the mini […]
I didn’t take a packed lunch to work last Wednesday. J and I went to our favourite lunch bar, 88 Royal (88a Royal St, East Perth), where I grabbed myself a box of stir-fried curried rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, onion and slivers of BBQ pork. It had the best aroma! I was really […]
