In Jac’s bento lunch last Monday – savoury items: pork meatballs served on mixed salad greens with tomato sauce for dipping, salad (mixed greens, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes), bread and butter. Sweet items: custard in a cup with a slice of kiwi fruit and a slice of peach, the tip of a custard horn, watermelon and […]
We splurged recently (more a splurge diet*-wise than money-wise!) and had pizza home delivery from Domino’s for dinner. As usual, we got one of the two large pizza deals and chose a pizza each. My choice was The Russian on Thin ‘n’ Crispy crust. I’m not sure what is supposed to be so Russian about […]
A couple of Saturdays ago, Jac dropped me off at the shops while she went to a dental appointment. I was hungry; I grabbed myself a chicken teriyaki bento box (AU$13.90) for brunch from Nagano Sushi (Carousel Shopping Centre food hall). Jac and I have shared one of these before. I was in the mood […]
We parted company with C and P after our laksa feast. C and P wanted to have a good walk after eating all that laksa; I was intent on smothering myself in durian-flavoured gelato. My sister Juji had told me the Il Gelato shop on James Street sells it, and there was no way I […]
Last Friday night, Jac and I had dinner with C and P at Penang Foods Restaurant (175 William St, Northbridge). C had told Jac and me about the fantastic laksa, and we were really eager to try it. I arrived first – I’d walked around the shops in town after work – and as soon […]
I wasn’t planning to pack a bento lunch last Friday, but just before I went to bed I found Jac in the kitchen cooking chicken drumsticks. “What are you doing?” I asked. “Cooking chicken for your bento,” she said. Isn’t she sweet? She flavoured the drumsticks in smokey barbecue sauce. And so on Friday morning, [&h…
Jac made burgers for dinner recently, with these fancy-topped burger buns she bought from. She toasted them to a light golden-brown under the grill. We had a lot of mushrooms to use up, so I suggested we have fried onions and mushrooms in our burgers. With lettuce, tomato, smokey barbecue sauce and 100% beef patties […]
Jac didn’t need lunch for Thursday, so on Wednesday evening I panfried a large boneless and skinless chicken thigh for my bento lunch. I simply rubbed the chicken with onion salt and white pepper before placing it in a hot olive oil-sprayed pan to cook until golden-brown and succulent. The smell of onion salt and […]
I found myself running late last Wednesday, and didn’t have time to pack a bento lunch. I also didn’t have time to grab breakfast before leaving for work. When I arrived at the office, I was starving. J was on her way out to get a coffee and told me she’d pick me up something […]
Since buying the Nintendo Wii, I’ve had to adjust my morning routine so that I can fit in a little blogging, a 30 to 40-minute WiiFit session, and packing bento for lunch, all before getting ready for work, still leaving home and getting to work at the same time I used to, pre-Wii (sorry, I […]
