I was interviewed for a story about food blogging in this weekend’s food issue of STM (Sunday Times Magazine, 30 May 2010). If you missed it or don’t live in Perth, you can download a copy below (thanks to the Sunday Times for supplying the PDFs): STM article (low res) – I eat therefore I […]
With my parents on holiday in Malaysia, the “kids” (my siblings and our partners) decided to meet up for a Sunday dim sum breakfast at Welcome Inn Tea House in Northbridge. Our family’s been going to Welcome Inn for years. This was a significant food milestone for my brother’s daughters, my nieces Ruby (aged 2+) […]
On Monday 24 May, I attended the first Largesse Dining event with Jac, my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay, held at Restaurant Amusé in East Perth. I was very excited when I first heard about this. The concept behind Largesse is simple: six mates, who happen to be six of the best chefs in […]
This was a chicken and vegetable stir-fry with chilli and basil Jac cooked recently. The chilli was fresh out of our garden. It was a delicious dinner. In the past, we’ve had lots of tomatoes growing in our garden. This year, it’s been chilli! You may remember Jac used our homegrown chillies in a recent […]
After our recent meal at Alpine Restaurant, Jac developed a craving for bratwurst and sauerkraut – she’d ordered rollmops and goulash on the night but quite liked the look of Juji’s bratwurst dish. The following week, Jac decided to do her own version of bratwurst, sauerkraut, potatoes and onions for dinner. She bought bratwurst s…
We had a family afternoon tea at my eldest sister CW and her hubby M’s home recently. As usual, everyone brought something for afternoon tea and the result was a feast of savoury and sweet delights! Jac made pork meatballs and mini scotch eggs. A scotch egg is usually a hard-boiled egg enclosed in sausage […]
I’m still hoping Krispy Kreme will open a store in Perth (see my post from last year Krispy Kreme coming to Perth soon?). In the meantime, we make do with other donut shops. Jac bought a six-pack from Donut King recently. A strawberry iced donut, simple but yummy. Sometimes strawberry flavour can taste medicinal, but […]
A variation of Jac’s chicken stew, and another bowl and spoon dinner! – chicken and corn stew, with chicken, potatoes, carrots, onions and lots of corn. I loved the flavour of that delicious gravy and how it soaked into the rice. I loved the pop of corn kernels as I bit them. I ate more […]
UPDATE: Rifo’s is now closed – trading at this address now is Bravo’s. When Rifo’s Cafe first opened in East Victoria Park, I must admit I wasn’t sure what it was called. I didn’t know about the original Rifo’s in Maylands at the time. Typically, we’d be in the car driving past on Albany Highway [&hel…
Dinner cooked by Jac: chicken stroganoff, served with peas and mashed potato. She used a jar of Chicken Tonight stroganoff to make the chicken dish, adding the chicken thigh meat and mushrooms. As a mushroom lover I was totally thrilled to discover she’d used both tinned and fresh mushrooms – I love both. The fluffy […]
