A couple of Saturdays ago, Jac dropped me off at the shops while she went to a dental appointment. I was hungry; I grabbed myself a chicken teriyaki bento box (AU$13.90) for brunch from Nagano Sushi (Carousel Shopping Centre food hall). Jac and I have shared one of these before. I was in the mood […]
Here’s some food from Carousel Shopping Centre food hall we enjoyed a couple of Saturdays ago. We started with spring rolls and a skewer of chicken satay with peanut sauce. It wasn’t really authentic-tasting satay – it was just fried chicken on a stick, but very succulent and pretty tasty. The previous week, we’d seen [&hell…
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 night, Jac and I went to Spencer Village (on Spencer Road, Thornlie, adjacent to Thornlie HJs and KFC, opposite the Thornlie Train Station) for dinner. We started with a shared large curry combination. Vegetables cooked in a lightly spiced coconut milk gravy (along the lines of sayur lodeh), chicken curry, lamb curry and […]
Hokkien mee with chicken (AU$9.50) from Sun Sun at Carousel Shopping Centre. I bought it takeaway, popped it in a bowl when I got home, swapped the disposable wooden chopsticks for a pair of our plastic ones and tucked in. I find the disposable wooden chopsticks you get with Chinese or Japanese takeaway annoyingly splintery, […]
While I ate this bowl of noodle soup, I was thinking about eating a Filet O Fish and fries with a side order of Chicken McNuggets with tomato ketchup, followed by a fresh, hot McDonald’s apple pie. Actually, if I were really doing exactly what I wanted without thinking about extra fat and sugar and […]
On Saturday last weekend we grabbed a bite to eat while at the shops. Jac enjoyed a plate of chicken nachos from Xquisito. The warmed corn chips, spicy chicken chilli mix and melted cheese were topped with cold tomato salsa, guacamole and sour cream. I wasn’t sure I liked all the cold condiments piled on […]
13/02/2008. I met Jac after work and we drove to the International Eating House food hall at East Victoria Park for a midweek dinner date. Jac ordered the regular teriyaki tofu set (AU$6.00 – I think). Yep, that’s right – this was the regular size, not large! The tofu has a very thin, crispy coating […]
Looks pretty good, right? Hainanese chicken rice (AU$7.00) from Newton Circle, a stall at the Carillon City Food Court in the city. Hainanese chicken rice, served with a bowl of chicken soup and gingery garlicky sauce… …and chicken and steamed green Chinese vegies. Unfortunately, the chicken and vegies tasted a little old. Jac saw the […
Back to my whinge about weekends not being long enough, we ended up spending most of last Saturday shopping. And not even fun shopping, like for DVDs, books, electrical appliances or gadgets (well, that’s fun shopping to me!). It was all groceries and household item (toilet paper, laundry detergent) shopping. Needing some food to give [&helli…
