My friend Charlene came over for laksa dinner a few weeks ago. Jac made curry laksa with chicken, prawns, fish cake, tofu, bean sprouts, rice noodles and egg noodles. She used Chilliz brand curry laksa paste. When Charlene and I walked in (she picked me up from work that day and drove us home), Jac […]
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+) […]
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’ve eaten breakfast at Shots Espresso Bar in Perth a number of times with friends before work. I like the food there, my coffee loving friends love the coffee, and Shots opens nice and early so we can meet up any time after 7am and have plenty of time to fit in a good catch […]
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!

We went to IKEA with my sister Juji and boyfriend Jay. They wanted to buy some furniture and as Jay’s car is small, we offered to go along and load up the back of our ute with anything they might buy (and of course, Jac and I love going to IKEA anyway). As soon as […]
On my last day in Sydney, I got up early, packed, checked out of my hotel and then caught a cab to my sister Jaded and brother-in-law JM’s house. I left my luggage at their place and we all went out to have dim sum for breakfast. Fisherman’s Wharf Seafood Restaurant, Pyrmont First of all, […]
