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 […]
Monday – in the previous week, Chad had met up with a friend for lunch at Mai’s Vietnamese Restaurant (51 Bennett St, East Perth) and she returned to the office with splendid tales of cheap and tasty lunch specials. J and I decided to check it out for ourselves. J chose the stewed beef with […]
My folks had been away on holiday in Malaysia since mid-January. They got home on the 15th of February. We all got together on Thursday last week after work for a Chap Goh Mei/belated family reunion dinner, to celebrate Chinese New Year. My cousin AM, her hubby C and little daughter E were at dinner […]

Rewind the clock back to last week again… Last Monday’s dinner – a breakfasty meal of beefy sausages, fried eggs and baked beans. Tuesday, a turkey steak, salad and a buttered slice of wholemeal bread. Wednesday, Jac rang me at work and said she felt like Chinese food. Although I didn’t think she’d really eat [……
Ooooops. This post is out of chronological order. This was part of our Chinese home delivery dinner last Saturday night. This is the beef in plum sauce, which was done sweet and sour style with big slices of onion and sweet chunks of pineapple. The meat was so tender. I love pineapple in savoury dishes. […]
The takeaway came from a place called Angkor Cafe, which is at 144 Murray Street in Perth.
