Last year, we celebrated my dad’s 60th birthday at a dinner with family and friends at the Swan Lake Chinese Restaurant in Churchlands (savoury post here, sweet post here). On Saturday evening, we returned to celebrate Mum’s 60th (her birthday is actually tomorrow!). The people on my table patiently put up with my photographing of [&hel…
I would’ve posted this on Sunday but I felt too tired to do anything really. Let me share my exhausting Saturday with you! We went to the shops on Saturday morning because we had a few unexciting things to do, like go to the post office. Of course, we were starving, having been really slow […]
Dessert was also buffet-style, with cheese and cracker platters, fruit platters and slices of chocolate cake and a big bowl of serve-yourself cream. I was able to sneak back to the table after everyone had been up for the first round and take this shot of a surprisingly intact fruit platter: Jac got herself a […]
Well, obviously I could really only just photograph my own plate. I made sure to place the food there reasonably neatly. I took photos around the plate as well as one whole-plate shot. Here’s the first part-plate shot, featuring roast beef, roast turkey (both with gravy) and ham (from that big cold meat platter). The […]
Lou and Dan’s wedding reception was held at Melville Glades Golf Club. Having eaten only a chicken pie for breakfast and some turkish bread and tzatziki dip at Sascha and Dave’s between wedding and reception, I was absolutely ravenous. Once we’d sat down at our table, my bread roll promptly made friends with my tummy. […]
We moved onto dinner at Ha Tien Vietnamese Restaurant, which is located at 2/800 Albany Highway in East Victoria Park. Everyone at my end of the table kindly agreed to let me photograph their food. The photos probably aren’t the best, as I took them very very quickly. Each person ordered her own main dish […]
Tonight we went to our friend Lou’s hens night (I’ve posted previously about a fantastic barbie at Lou and Dan’s previously – see here and here). The hens night consisted of a few parts: part 1 was cocktails and nibblies at Lou and Dan’s place (Dan and his mates were out partying elsewhere for his […]
We both ordered from the Straits Malacca Cuisine stall at the food hall. C ordered the pan mee. It looked really good – lots of pork, fish balls and two crispy fried wantan, which C said were really good. I ordered the claypot chicken rice. When I ate this back in August last year it […]
Yesterday, I met up with C to see The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Some time ago when we realised we loved both The Fast and the Furious films, we agreed that we’d catch the next one together when it came out. C patiently waited until semester was over and I was free (thanks, […]
On Tuesday night we had dinner at my younger sister Juji’s new place, which she’s sharing with her boyfriend and two other friends. As regular readers will know, Juji is a great cook (between Jac, Juji and my mum, I’m kept very well fed!), so I was really looking forward to it. As expected, Juji […]
