I’m a little behind with posts at the moment – the food featured in this one was eaten two Fridays ago. I started my day with a chewy buttered toasted bagel from MYO (Royal St, East Perth). So simple, yet so satisfying. For lunch, J and I went to Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay […]
Before he moved to Canada, my friend SRM told me there was a little cafe at the Victoria Park Centro Shopping Centre (formerly known as “Heart of the Park”) that sold nasi lemak. Naturally, Jac and I just had to check it out. Last Saturday was the day – we stopped by for a nasi […]
Last Saturday, Jac and I had lunch with my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay at Makan2 cafe (357 Albany Highway, Victoria Park). I’d walked past this place before and heard about it from friends and other Perth food bloggers. We ordered at the counter and started with a round of drinks – Nescafe tarik […]
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 took a break from Bento last Friday. J rang Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth) at 11am and asked if they had their nasi lemak special on. The answer was “yes”, so we went to Munch shortly after that, ready to devour nasi lemak. Clockwise, from the top […]
Munch Terrace’s Friday special nasi lemak (AU$7.50) has become a weekly highlight. I was looking forward to this all week. Their coconut rice is really good, almost as good as my mum’s. :) Clockwise from the left – fried ikan bilis (anchovies) and peanuts, chilli sambal, fried chicken wing, otak otak (what is it?), deep-fried [&he…
I mentioned sometime ago that I want to try and eat more healthy lunches. Last week, I bought a bag of washed rocket (also known as arugula) and spinach leaves, and with a few other bits and pieces and a little help from Jac, TFP was eating healthier lunches! Monday – Jac made some salmon […]
For Saturday lunch last weekend, Jac and I went to my folk’s place. A couple of my siblings and their partners were going to Mum and Dad’s for lunch too. Mum’s master plan was for everyone to eat nasi lemak and chicken rice, then play mahjong for the rest of the afternoon and stick around […]
Jac made a chicken and vegetable (green beans, carrots and broccoli) balti curry last weekend, which she served with mini pappadams. I love this kind of curry sauce, with an oniony and tomatoey base. It’s fragrant and spicy without blowing your head off (though of course if you wanted it super hot you could simply […]
This is what happens when I get busy during the week. You get two weeks’ worth of work lunches in a single post! Monday (two weeks ago) – SRM, J and I went to Mai’s Vietnamese Restaurant (51 Bennett St, East Perth). SRM had the soy sauced chicken rice, a dish I’ve ordered previously. He […]
