Lunch at Spencer Village

A recent feed at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie)… I bought a packet of nasi lemak from Sarindo – I chose the fried fish version (you can choose between fish and chicken). As well as a piece of tumeric-flavoured fried fish, you get fried egg, three slices of fancy cut cucumber, ikan bilis […]

Friday night dinner at Spencer Village

At Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) recently, Jac had a teriyaki fish salad from the Japanese stall. It’s very nice, but a very small meal indeed. I knew she’d need something else… I had been craving chee cheong fun (fresh rice flour roll) and yong tow foo (stuffed beancurd and vegetables) from Fook [&helli…

A trip to Spencer’s

Last Sunday I caught the train to Thornlie and to have lunch at my favourite food hall, Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) . As I walked across the bridge from the railway station, I could hear talking behind me. I turned around and saw two old Chinese women, two poh pohs, walking together. […]

Saturday lunch

We went to the Save the Children Book Sale in South Perth yesterday morning. Jac was rather pleased – she scored loads of cook books for $68 – most books were 50 cents or $1, a few *special* ones for $2 – $3. I didn’t make any thrilling finds for myself, but in the $11 […]

Four out of five weeknight dinners

Monday: Jac made chicken burgers. Panfried chicken thigh filets, lettuce, tomato and mushrooms in toasted focaccia. As you can see, she went heavy on the lettuce. Hahahaaa. P.S. I do like eating lettuce stems. Tuesday: My day off. The cats and I fell asleep in the late afternoon, snuggled together and all toasty on the […]

Another Friday Night

Last night’s dinner was takeaway from Spencer Village, YAY! I’d already given Jac my requests in the morning. I asked for two things, from our favourite stall which is called Fook Kee. First, yong tau foo. Here it is, in its silver takeaway container, before I added extra hoisin sauce: As usual, I had to […]

Lunch with Jac

I didn’t make it to uni today. Jac needed me to help get our stuff back from the party house, so I decided to skip the joys of public transport on a public holiday and the lecture. I’ll either listen to it online or attend the repeat lecture on Wednesday afternoon. After we got our […]

Yesterday

After having a cuppa at Jac’s mum’s house and saying good-bye to her brother who was returning to Sydney in the afternoon, we had lunch at our favourite asian food hall. I had hokkien mee. Jac had yong tau foo. I didn’t take a picture of it because it looked exactly like this photo I […]
