Chicken and vegetable noodle stir-fry

Here’s a recent rice noodle stir-fry with chicken and vegetables (carrot, celery, bok choy and green beans). Don’t these noodles look wormy? They were very slurpable! This was the kind of dish that left my chin and cheeks splashed with sauce! :)

A recent feed at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie)… I bought a packet of nasi lemak from Sarindo – I chose the fried fish version (you can choose between fish and chicken).

I want more prawn salad! :-D *A surprise because it was […]

No dressing on the salad, but Jac placed a dollop of aioli in the centre on the chicken, which doubled as a sauce for the chicken and a […]

Late dinner: honey-roasted turkey breast with salad

Sliced cold honey-roasted turkey breast (bought from Woolworths supermarket), hard-boiled egg, mixed salad greens, lebanese cucumber, roma tomatoes and marinated mushrooms, with freshly cracked black pepper on [&he…

Tomato sauce meatballs and rice

I’ve had this dish for lunch before, takeaway from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal Street, East Perth). I always choose it if it’s available when I’m there – it is just so tasty. I love everything about it – the chewy meatballs that are caramelised so beautifully and ever so slightly crisp on the […]
