I can’t believe I missed posting this! The morning after our family reunion dinner, we “kids” got together again to go visit our relatives for Chinese New Year. Of course, this involved more eating – I didn’t have breakfast that morning, as I knew we’d be eating nonstop as we visited everyone. :) First stop [&hel…
I’m sure my friend C won’t be offended that I’ve called this post “breakfast of gluttons”! We know what we are, after all! :-D We met up at Ba Ba Black (Shop 25, 60 Royal St – Cnr Plain St, next to The Royal pub) to start our day with a hearty feed. C had […]

Jac made this curry recently, with chicken thigh pieces and vegetables – whatever we had in the fridge, freezer and pantry that needed to be used up – potato, sweet potato, carrot, cauliflower, broccoli, onion and peas. The curry flavour came from Keens traditional curry powder. Boy, it was good.

The thick curry sauce with pieces of carrot and potato was served on top of rice and sliced chicken katsu. A few sweet red pickles added a splash […]
I wrote this post a few weeks ago and didn’t publish it (no particular reason, just didn’t!). Jac cooked a casserole in the electric frypan we got from my parents for Christmas – she used Christmas turkey thigh roll, retrieved from the freezer, thawed and cut into cubes. She added vegetables – carrots, celery, green [&hellip…
For a recent dinner, Jac cooked a stir-fry of chicken and vegetable (broccoli, cabbage, green beans, onions), served with noodles. She marinated the chicken for a few hours in white pepper and cornflour, and made the sauce for the stir-fry up as she went. Her aim was to use up as many of the sauces […]
J and I got lunch from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal St, East Perth) a couple of Fridays ago and ate it sitting under a tree, on a grassy hill by the water behind the shops. She got her favourite, a chicken strip roll. Her favourite used to be the chicken schnitzel burger, which […]
We had recently had dinner at Sapporo (186 Rutland Avenue, Carlisle). We’ve eaten at this tiny restaurant run by a little old couple (he cooks, she serves) many times now. It’s simple, homestyle delicious cooking. We ordered prawn dumplings, called “shu mai” on the menu. They came with a big blob of wasabi and a […]
