Munch Terrace’s Friday special nasi lemak (AU$7.50) has become a weekly highlight. I was looking forward to this all week. Their coconut rice is really good, almost as good as my mum’s. :) Clockwise from the left – fried ikan bilis (anchovies) and peanuts, chilli sambal, fried chicken wing, otak otak (what is it?), deep-fried [&he…
I’ve been meaning to try Noodlebox’s Teriyaki noodle salad with lime, and last Thursday was the day. The Salad Box comes in one size, for AU$11.50. The salad has soba noodles, chicken, bamboo shoots and lots of fresh vegetables in it – mixed lettuce, carrot, capsisum. The teriyaki dressing was absolutely delicious, thanks to that …
This was lunch on Wednesday last week. Jac didn’t need lunch, so I used the Tupperware large Sandwich Keeper myself this time. I packed some salad and some ham and pineapple fried rice. And for something sweet, a mandarin and mini jam sandwiches. It wasn’t so practical bringing fried rice to work in this particular […]

Fried rice, two ways Ham, chopped into 1cm-ish cubes A medium brown onion, chopped A plump garlic or two, chopped Green beans, chopped Corn kernels […]
I hurt my leg yesterday and so I was at home instead of work today. I worked from home – J emailed me some files I needed to work on. It was quite a productive day. So what happened? (you can skip the next four paragraphs if you just interested in the food part of […]
I packed this lunch for Jac for last Monday: tuna pasta salad she’d made on Sunday afternoon, korma turkey meatballs, a couple of fresh mushrooms and grape tomatoes. To separate the pasta salad from the meatballs I used a strategically placed washed celery stalk, which Jac could eat with dip if she wished. She has […]
Last Sunday Jac made turkey meatballs, two ways. The first batch were eaten with large spiral pasta in a tomato sauce with mushrooms, peas and carrots in it. I’ve mentioned before that Jac likes to sneak in as many vegetables as she can when she makes a pasta sauce. She still thinks she has trick […]
We’d talked about going out for dinner on last Friday night, but the weather turned stormy in the afternoon and suddenly staying home and having a good chin-wag while making burgers sounded much more appealing. Here’s my burger, assembled into halves and ready to be combined into one. On the bun base: beef pattie, fried […]
I mentioned sometime ago that I want to try and eat more healthy lunches. Last week, I bought a bag of washed rocket (also known as arugula) and spinach leaves, and with a few other bits and pieces and a little help from Jac, TFP was eating healthier lunches! Monday – Jac made some salmon […]
Jac’s mum friend E cooked up more delicious food for us – yellow rice, dhal and kofta curry. Please excuse the appearance of the plate, I microwaved the food to piping hot before quickly taking this photo and then plunging in.
