Char siu pao

Oh yeah, and I bought myself a couple of char siu pao to have for breakfast this morning, and a big pao for my lunch. I didn’t take a photo of the big pao, but here are the char siu pao. I really could’ve managed three.

Tokyo Drift, Part 2

We both ordered from the Straits Malacca Cuisine stall at the food hall. C ordered the pan mee. It looked really good – lots of pork, fish balls and two crispy fried wantan, which C said were really good. I ordered the claypot chicken rice. When I ate this back in August last year it […]

Tokyo Drift, Part 1

Yesterday, I met up with C to see The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Some time ago when we realised we loved both The Fast and the Furious films, we agreed that we’d catch the next one together when it came out. C patiently waited until semester was over and I was free (thanks, […]

Mmmm, pork chops.

Another meal from this week: asian pork chop with rice and steamed vegies. Jac used Lee Kum Kee brand “asian pork chops” packet sauce. First, she panfried the pork chops until golden brown. Then she added sliced onions to the pan and fried them until browned. Lastly, she added the sauce. It smelled so good […]

Rice, chicken curry and bok choy

Here was one of our dinners this week: rice with chicken curry and bok choy. The chicken curry was really simple – chicken thighs, onion, green beans and carrots cooked with Yeo’s Malaysian mild curry sauce. I blanched the bok choy in boiling water for about a minute and a half, then drained it and […]

Laksa lunch

I only went to uni once this week – Wednesday, because I had a meeting with my supervisor. The meeting went well. She’ll be away for the next month or so and hopefully while she is gone I will be very productive and have something resembling a chapter (the last one, weeeeeeeeee!) to show her […]

Menu organiser

Oh! Before I tackle the dishes – during the week a surprise package arrived for us from our friends L and D from England (soon to be our friends L and D from NSW, Australia, yay!): a very cool menu organiser! That’s another of my chores today – to organise our collection of discount coupons […]

Another Saturday, Part 2

We had pizza home delivery for dinner last night. We got three pizzas (which has left us with lots of yummy leftovers!). We got all pizzas on thin ‘n’ crispy crust. First, the chicken monaco: special tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, seasoned chicken, fresh tomato, onion and mushrooms. We also got the vegorama (don’t look at [&hell…

Another Saturday, Part 1

Yesterday morning I had to go to the post office to mail something via registered post (computer-related; more on that later this week). After that was done I spent a little time at the shops. Angus & Robertson had a huge bargain table on the go with everything at 50% off, and I spent ages […]
