I wrote a post recently about a bento lunch in which I had French toast and SPAM squares, which I ate like sandwiches. It was very simple to make, so simple in fact, that 1) I didn’t use a recipe and 2) I didn’t even think of what I did as a recipe. This was […]
We had a fantastic fry-up for breakfast last Sunday: bacon, garlic mushrooms, scrambled eggs, spinach and toast. As usual, I had the pleasure of eating the pan-roasted garlic cloves. On one slice of lightly buttered toast I spread kaya, and on the other I spread St Dalfour blueberry with cranberry preserve. Not only did I […]
Before he moved to Canada, my friend SRM told me there was a little cafe at the Victoria Park Centro Shopping Centre (formerly known as “Heart of the Park”) that sold nasi lemak. Naturally, Jac and I just had to check it out. Last Saturday was the day – we stopped by for a nasi […]
Friday bento I was supposed to meet my friend Chad for breakfast nice and early last Friday morning; I’d told Jac I wouldn’t have time to do bento. But I got a call from Chad late on Thursday evening – she was crook and wouldn’t be able to make it. I hadn’t prepared anything for […]
Last Thursday night, we went out for dinner at Taurus Hawker Foods ((Shop 10, 113 Collins Road, Willetton) with our friend M (remember this delicious vegetarian barbecue?). M had chicken* fried kway teow- stir-fried flat rice noodles with chicken, beansprouts and green Chinese vegetable. M commented on the lovely charry flavour of her noodles. I [&…
J made these lovely cupcakes for her birthday afternoon tea. They were vanilla and raspberry cupcakes with lemon and cream cheese icing. She brought the cupcakes to work un-iced. Just before afternoon tea, she spread the cream cheese icing liberally on the cupcakes and sprinkled little colourful flowers (what are they called?) and silver balls [&he…
Last Thursday was my workmate J’s birthday! We decided to try the East End Pizza Bar – this is one place on Royal Street we haven’t eaten at before. You can buy your pizza as “single”(for one) or “large” (to share between two or three, depending on the size of your appetite). We chose a […]
I didn’t take lunch to work last Thursday, but I made sandwiches for Jac. Jac has said her favourite bento lunches are always the ones that feature sandwiches. I packed Jac four different sandwiches, along with some leftover KFC coleslaw (in a silicone cupcake mould), lettuce, baby roma tomatoes, a sliced mushroom and strawberries. These [&he…
Dinner last Wednesday night was a fish and vegetable curry – vegetables (zucchini, cabbage, potato, sweet potato, carrot and onion) cooked in a korma curry sauce from a jar, with the fish pieces added right at the end so as not to overcook them. It was yummy, served on freshly cooked rice. Generous servings were […]
For lunch last Wednesday, I packed us KFC nuggets, salad and fruit. We’d bought a Mega Feast pack for dinner the night before, which included 10 pieces of chicken, 10 nuggets, 2 large chips, a large container of potato and gravy and a large coleslaw. This would supply us with a tasty dinner, nuggets for […]
