People who’ve been reading this blog for a few years will know I’ve blogged about Toraya Sushi before (see the end of this post for a list of my favourite posts featuring Toraya Sushi). Toraya Sushi opened when I used to work in Subiaco, before my office moved to East Perth. There are plenty of […]
Jac cooked this dinner recently – a stir-fry with chicken, spring onion, garlic, green beans and fresh red chilli, served on rice. The chicken thigh pieces were juicy and springy to bite, just how I love chicken to be. The beans were lovely and crisp. The chilli came from our garden, and it was hot! […]
We went to family afternoon tea on Easter Sunday and celebrated my birthday. Everyone cooked something for the meal. My younger sister Juji made party sausage rolls. Lots of them! The last time Juji made these, our little niece Ruby ate heaps of them. Juji made even more this time because not only is Ruby […]
Birthday dessert After our dinner at Big Bowl Noodle House, we had a craving for something sweet. They don’t appear to serve desserts at Big Bowl. We crossed the street and went to Utopia. Jac had noticed their display of cakes and desserts earlier. She hadn’t heard of Utopia before, but I know Utopia from […]
Birthday dinner The last couple of times we’ve been in Vic Park/East Vic Park, we’ve walked past Big Bowl Noodle House and peeked in the window.

Birthday breakfast, Part 2 Warning to vegetarians – this post is extremely meaty. :) Still hungry after breakfast at The Pony Club, Juji and Jay, Jac and I all decided to drive further up Beaufort Street to Mondo Butchers, where on Saturday mornings you can buy roast meat sandwiches, with meat carved straight off hot […]
Note: The Pony Club has closed permanently. Birthday breakfast, Part 1 Jac took me to The Pony Club in Mount Lawley for my mystery birthday breakfast. It was a mystery because I had no idea where we were going until we got there. :) If you’re not familiar with The Pony Club, it’s a restaurant […]
We enjoyed an afternoon snack of party-sized pastries from Harbour Town Bake House, the bakery at Harbour Town, on our recent weekend in West Perth. For those unfamiliar with the concept of a “party” pie, “party”-sized pastries are mini ones, named as such because they’re perfect finger food for serving to party guests…
It’s my birthday today! That’s why I brought mini muffins to work on Thursday – for my birthday afternoon tea before the long Easter break. We’ve got public holidays here on Good Friday and Easter Monday. And better still, I’ve got Tuesday off work too, so I’ll be enjoying a 5-day weekend. :D The muffins [&hellip…
The weekend of the Massive Attack concert, Jac and I stayed at a hotel right next to the concert venue Kings Park – we walked to Kings Park carrying our picnic stuff on the Friday night, and then after the concert, simply walked back to the hotel. I’d booked us in for a couple of […]
