The takeaway came from a place called Angkor Cafe, which is at 144 Murray Street in Perth. According to its menu Angkor Cafe provides “A taste of South East Asia”, and accordingly its menu features Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai and Japanese-style dishes. I bought three dishes. First, “Angkor Fried Rice” ($6.90) – fried ric…
On Thursday morning I made myself French toast for breakfast. I must say I love the smell of butter in the frying pan early in the morning! Though of course, the smell of frying bacon beats that by miles! At work, it was Goz Day. As I’d planned, my goz this week was filled with […]
On Wednesday, I went to Hungry Jack’s for lunch. It’s terrible really – near my work there’s a KFC and an HJs right next to each other. And next to them is a Baskin Robbins – though that’s not so bad as I’m not at all tempted by ice cream parlours*. But fried chicken and […]
On Monday I made one of my old favourites – corned beef, egg, corn and rice. So easy and delicious and comforting. Part of the pleasure of the ritual involves the careful opening of the tin of corned beef – you know, the kind of tin that must be opened with the special metal key. […]
Last week I bought a bunch of bananas that ripened unbelievably quickly just on the journey home in the car on a warm sunny day. I was in a banana sort of place when I bought them but as the week went on I just didn’t feel like eating bananas, and they sat in the […]
Last night’s dinner, chicken stew made by Jac. Another no recipe dish. She browned chopped onions and chicken in the wok (she cooked the whole thing in our big wok) and added potatoes, carrots and frozen peas. She poured in a litre carton of chicken stock and seasoned with white pepper, let it all cook […]
On Thursday at work we had gozleme for lunch. Every week on “goz day”, a couple of the girls very kindly take everyone’s orders and money and get goz for everyone – around half an hour before they leave, they come around asking the question: “Are you gozzing today?” I’ve written about gozleme before –…
We decided to have sushi for lunch after Feast Perth. We went to Jaws Kaiten Sushi in Cinema City Arcade. When Jaws opened in Perth, I remember what a thrill it was to eat at the first and only conveyor belt sushi restaurant in Perth, in the Murray Street Mall. The original Murray St Mall […]
On Sunday last weekend, Jac, Juji and I went along to Feast Perth, a food fair held at Victoria Gardens at Claisebrook Cove in East Perth. This was a City Food and Wine Month event, like the Sausage King Competition. It was a beautifully warm and sunny day and not surprisingly, the fair was very […]
It’s been waaaaay too long since I last posted, and I do apologise. It’s been a very busy week at work and at home. Here’s a plate of char kway teow I ate for brunch last weekend while at the shops. It was very tasty indeed, freshly cooked, garlicky and saucy and loaded with lup […]
