I’d heard a lot about Mamak, a Malaysian restaurant in Sydney, long before this recent trip. It’s my sister Jaded and her hubby JM’s favourite Malaysian restaurant. I’d read reviews of Mamak by various Sydney food bloggers and drooled over the photos. When the Sydney food bloggers I met at Tetsuya’s heard I was plannin…
I love Japanese food, and when I heard about the recently opened Saké Restaurant and Bar at The Rocks in Sydney from my sister Jaded and her hubby JM, then drooled over the restaurant menu online, I really wanted to eat there. Here in Perth, Japanese food is plentiful – from the “cheap eats” food […]
We held Jac’s belated birthday brunch with her family and friends at our house. We celebrated after her actual birthday so that her brother Brad could come. He works away, so we held the brunch on one the weekends he was home. Jac loves “playing host” and was really looking forward to putting on a […]
We celebrated Chinese New Year (CNY) with our family reunion dinner on 13 February, the eve of CNY. Mum cooked a number of dishes, but all of us “kids” also brought something along for the meal. For our contribution, Jac and I made minchee (pork mince and potato cooked with onions, garlic, soy sauce and […]
Continuing with my belated Christmas 2009 posts! :D Sunday night, 27 December 2009The night before Christmas breakfast with my family, Jac and I got things ready and cleaned and tidied the house. We put our new Santa Claus mat in the hallway and Billy Lee immediately sat on it. Believe it or not, this is […]
Happy Chinese New Year, everyone! We had a lovely family reunion dinner at my parents’ home tonight. Those photos will be posted soon. In the meantime, I’m still catching up on a backlog of posts I didn’t publish due to the redesign of the site. I know it’s terribly late but I hope you’ll still […]
So Merry Christmas, everyone! I’d planned to sleep in this morning, but I guess I’m a creature of habit. I’ve been up since 4.30am, my usual weekday wake-up time. Since I’m up, why not publish a blog post? :P I had a busy Saturday morning recently – went to the post office to mail a […]
After our dinner at Cinnamon on the Park, we all went back to our place and Juji and Jay stayed the night. The next morning, we remembered the red velvet cupcakes Juji had made the day before – she’d brought half a dozen cupcakes with her! They were red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing. […]
Nicole Jackson, here’s a pie post I think you’ll like! :D PuffsWith my sister and her hubby in town from Sydney, Mum invited all of us “kids” and our partners to a curry puff making (and eating!) session. Jac usually joins in the curry puff making, but I must admit my curry puff shaping skills […]
My sister and her hubby came to visit from Sydney – which meant FAMILY FEAST! We all got together at my parents’ home for some serious eating. Mum made a hantu curry with pork belly and green beans. You are supposed to use snake beans in this dish, but the snake beans were really expensive […]
