In addition to my takeaway yong tow foo, I bought a serve of chai tow kway (also known as radish cake, or carrot cake – see Wikipedia entry on chai tow kway) from Fook Kee at Spencer Village. I thought it would be perfect for a bento lunch. To go with the chai tow kway, […]
Last Sunday I caught the train to Thornlie and to have lunch at my favourite food hall, Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) . As I walked across the bridge from the railway station, I could hear talking behind me. I turned around and saw two old Chinese women, two poh pohs, walking together. […]
Another dish I tend to cook when Jac’s away is green curry chicken. I cooked this last Friday night for my dinner, using green curry paste from a jar (I used Valcom brand curry paste, which is made in Thailand), coconut milk, a little sugar and fish sauce (as per the instructions on the jar), […]
Last Friday was a shocker of a day, and J and I escaped from the office and had lunch at Mai’s Vietnamese Restaurant (51 Bennett St, East Perth). We were very lucky and scored the very last free table – everything else was taken or reserved. We shared a serve of pork spring rolls. They […]
Thursday’s bento lunch consisted of fried rice and salad (cos lettuce, rocket, spinach, cherry and golden tomatoes, and baby carrot sticks). I love this bento box as it was my first proper bento box, but it is on the small side. I realise that’s good for portion control, but I could’ve easily eaten twice the […]
For dinner last Wednesday night I made fried rice with SPAM, green beans, corn kernels, onion, garlic, egg and oyster sauce – that’s probably my favourite combination of fried rice ingredients. I cooked enough for a decent feed and for bento the next day.
I made sandwiches for my Tuesday bento lunch – three fairly normal sandwiches, and one experimental one (starting from the top, you won’t have any trouble spotting the experimental one! :)) Curried egg and sliced cucumber Honey leg ham, swiss cheese and english spinach with wholegrain mustard and mayonnaise Curried egg, cucumber and str…
I really felt like baking mini banana muffins on Monday night, so that’s exactly what I did. The recipe I use is Banana Muffins II from Allrecipes. I couldn’t find my old printout of the recipe, so I googled it to get another copy. I’d just weighed out the flour for sifting and was about […]
For my bento lunch last Monday I packed myself leftover rice and my latest chicken dish with no name from my dinner the night before. I also quickly stir-fried myself some cos lettuce with garlic and soy sauce. I’ve always love stir-fried lettuce – Jac’s not keen on it as the lettuce does take on […]
I cooked this for my dinner last Sunday night. I peeled a large potato and cooked it using a potato microwaver, then cut it into chunks. I fried garlic and chicken thigh strips in the wok, then added chopped fresh bok choy, sliced tomatoes and the potato chunks, flavouring it all with oyster sauce. I […]
