This week while I was shopping in the city I decided to have lunch at Chopsticks, a “Szechuan fast food” restaurant on Barrack Street. I ordered the garlic pork and rice (AU$7.50). My food came pretty quickly. The pork was very thinly sliced and each slice had a layer of fat at the top (which […]
We will be spending Christmas day with Jac’s family. Every year, each couple/person is assigned stuff to bring for the meal/day. We’re bringing the Christmas ham, cheeses and Christmas crackers. Instead of getting a great big chunk of ham on the bone we’ve got two small hams – one’s smoked and the other is baked. [&hel…
This is my current favourite breakfast: a $3 box of fried rice from a bakery at the bus station. It’s nothing amazing, but is surprisingly tasty. I’m completely addicted.

Oh yeah, I forgot to post Friday night’s dinner: marinated panfried pork steak with stir-fried vegetables and rice. Jac marinated the pork sometime ago with soy sauces and fresh red chillies- it had been sitting in the freezer getting tastier and tastier.
Having worked from home all week I was well and truly suffering from cabin fever, so I decided to spend some time at our local shopping centre yesterday morning. I was all set to order a serve of chicken karaage with barbecue sauce and baby mayo from the Japanese place, but most disappointingly, the pieces […]
