I wasn’t able to make it to a barbecue with Jac’s family recently, but Jac’s brother Brad (remember the Christmas BBQ meats whisperer? :)) and his fiancee Kelsie sent Jac home with a little alfoil package for me – inside, half a dozen chilli and garlic prawns. They smelled wonderful, and I ate one cold, […]
My family celebrated Chinese New Year last weekend with a delicious family reunion dinner. This year, Mum cooked just one of the dishes – the must-have chap chye, which consists of cabbage, mushrooms and other fungi, beancurd skin and vermicelli. I’ve loved this dish ever since I was a child. We were all very pleased […]
Hi guys! I hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas. I’ve taken loads of photos over the past few days! My sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay came over for dinner on Christmas eve. Since we knew we’d be consuming lashings of ham, turkey and other meats the next day, we decided to have a seafood […]
For dinner two Friday nights ago, we had a couple of dishes made by Jac’s mum’s friend E, to eat with rice. She’d made us prawn sambal and lemongrass chicken. Jac said she’d pick up a couple of extra takeaway dishes – another meat dish and a vegetable dish, to go with the home cooked […]
Just a few photos from a recent meal at Carousel Shopping Centre food hall. An express salad combo from Sumo Salad – we each chose a salad. My choice was the chicken and penne pasta salad with sundried tomatoes; Jac chose her favourite, the falafel salad, with cous cous, pumpkin and cos lettuce. Fresh rice […]
All I wanted was to have my say, and I’ve done that. So let’s move on to nicer things, shall we? :) Here are some of the meals I ate recently, on the long weekend. By coincidence, guess what food item is featured? You guessed it! SPAM! But I’ll start with something a little more […]
Jac took me out recently for a pub dinner at the Carlisle Hotel (174 Rutland Avenue, Carlisle). We began with a serve of garlic bread (AU$5.00). It was typical cafe-style garlic bread – pressed flat and toasted till golden and crisp on the outside, more buttery than garlicky in flavour, yet satisfyingly savoury. There was […]
Here are last week’s lunches! Monday – SRM, Chad and I got takeaway from Sushi @ Royal (Shop 2, 131 Royal St). SRM had fish katsu (AU$8.00). Chad had the agedashi tofu (AU$7.00). The sauce was packed in a separate container so that the battered tofu wouldn’t be soggified during the takeaway journey. Back at […]
As the title says, I can’t believe I’m 32 and the first time I ever went to Sizzler was Wednesday last week. That place is so ME! It’s not fancy, but there’s lots to eat and I love buffets! Upon arrival we joined the queue and ordered main courses, which included salad bar, and paid […]
New Year’s Day Because of the street parties with fireworks going on for most of the night, I didn’t actually get to sleep until around 4:30AM. So on New Year’s Day even though I wasn’t hungover like the others, I still felt like crap from being exhausted. After sleeping in Jac and I went for […]
