Early lunch at Leonardo’s

On Saturday morning at Carousel Shopping Centre, we decided to grab a bite at Leonardo’s Cafe, which is located outside the Target Home entrance. We’ve eaten there before (see this post, and this write-up I did for Eating WA). From Leonardo’s selection of gourmet sandwiches, Jac chose The Beach Comber (AU$9.95) on wholemeal bread.…

At Cambridge Forum there is a variety of food stalls to choose from, including Singaporean, Malaysian, Indian, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese and El Salvadorian. Juji and Jac were quite disappointed that the El […]

Dinners at home

15/01/2008. Panfried pork chops with Lee Kum Kee oriental sauce for pork chop, served with green beans stir fried with oyster sauce, onions and garlic. The pork chops were lean but juicy and cooked by Jac to tender perfection. The oriental sauce was great – sweet and syrupy and finger-sucking good, it would’ve been fantastic […]

A glistening berry-crowned cheesecake, almost too beautiful to cut. Juicy shiny berries fighting gravity, piled on top of soft smooth cheesecake sittin…

Hello, Spencer’s my old friend

We went to Spencer Village for dinner in our first week back after holidays. Jac’s been in a sashimi place for months and months now, and the trend continues! She ordered a plate of salmon sashimi from the Japanese stall. Even though I’m not a fan of raw fish, I must say I thought this […]

Back to it, then!

We decided, after we returned from holiday, that we would remain in “holiday mode” as far as eating went until the 14th of January, being the day after Jac’s birthday and the day I went back to work. After the 14th we’d try our hardest to eat as many salads and vegetables, and as little […]
