Friday night with friends

Remember how at lunch recently my friend MK and I agreed we should get together and hang out more often? Well, she picked me up after work on Friday and we went to her place. Her hubby AK made dinner, and of course Jac joined us too. This bowl of salad sat right under my […]

A few lunches

On Thursday I had char kway teow ($8.50) from the Chinese stall next to Gelatino in the Subiaco Pavillion Markets. It was just like the Singapore fried bee hoon I had there recently, lots of fried egg, chicken, fish cake and three plump, bursty prawns. On Friday I had Saigon crispy chicken fried rice ($9.00) […]

Family dinner, 25/04/2007

We had a family dinner on Wednesday evening – no particular reason other than we haven’t had a get together for a while, I think. Oh, and we really wanted to meet my sister and her hubby’s puppy Paco. Everyone brought a dish to share. Mum and Dad’s friends M and A came along too. […]

My brain and me

We had a public holiday on Wednesday of this week and so Jac made breakfast. She always says she wishes I didn’t leave home to go to work so absurdly early every morning (when I leave the house she’s usually still in bed) so she could cook me breakfast (everyone: “awwwwww!“). So anyway, on public […]

Reflections of a lazy sandwich maker

Yesterday’s lunch, from MYO: a multigrain bread roll spread with a little butter and filled with roast chicken, hard boiled egg, lettuce, cucumber, tomato, corn kernels and sundried tomatoes. What I like about MYO is that I can choose exactly which fillings I want, and how much of everything I want to stuff in there […]

Eating healthy, dreaming junky

This was lunch today: a bread roll filled with chicken, lettuce, cucumber and sundried tomato and seasoned with salt and pepper, for $7.00 from Caffe Vero on Rokeby Road. This really hit the spot. I’d been hungry since before 11am but by the time I actually went for lunch it was around ten past 1pm […]

Scrambled eggs and bagel

I made breakfast this morning – scrambled eggs served with toasted bagels. Jac spread a little cream cheese on her bagel, and I had butter and honey on mine. It’s surprising how well a bagel spread with butter and honey goes with scrambled eggs! Damn it, I can’t believe the weekend is almost over. P.S. […]

More lamb

This is what Jac made using the leftover roast lamb, gravy and cooked cabbage: lancashire hot pot. She took the lamb off the bone, cut off the excess fat where possible and chopped it into small chunks. She used the last of the roast gravy, along with water, flour, worchestershire sauce and a little more […]

A little room for something sweet

After dinner, we took a bit of a walk around Northbridge, stopping off at Timezone where Jac and Jay took to the air hockey table and motorbike racing. (Friends and family can see the photos when logged in at Flickr.) Having worked off a little bit of their dinner, Jac wanted a milkshake and Jay […]

Return to Hawker’s Cuisine

On Friday night, we had dinner with my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay. We went to Hawker’s Cuisine in Northbridge. My family had a dinner there in February (click here to read that post), and I’d been keen to return ever since. L to R: Jay’s iced lemon tea, Juji’s honey and lemon drink. […]
