I mentioned sometime ago that Jac, Juji, Jay and I enjoyed an international breakfast at the Station Street Markets in Subiaco. It’s a great breakfast option if you feel like something savoury that’s not just variations of bacon and eggs and toast. Jay and Jac headed straight for the Mexican stall where Jay ordered spicy […]
A happy face on Boxing Day: Zoe, climbing onto her dad’s knee to play “Horsey” We got together at my eldest sister CW’s home. As usual, everyone brought something along for the feast. Juji baked the ham – she scored it all over, studded it with cloves and glazed it with a tasty mixture of […]
Santa Claus watches over the sauces Jac and I woke up early to cook on Christmas morning. She put the turkey thigh and breast roasts in the oven while I assembled the layered garden salad. The salad was really easy to make. From bottom to the top, the layers were: Torn lettuce Frozen peas Sliced […]
Our Christmas feasting began with dinner on Christmas eve at Portofinos Restaurant in Mindarie with Juji and Jay. The Restaurant and Function Centre is located at Quinns Beach, all the way up Freeway North. The dining room is spacious with high ceilings and large windows overlooking the ocean. The restaurant did offer a Christmas set […]

Pictured below is […]
I’m always on the look-out for places to get macarons in Perth. In the past year, I’ve become obsessed with macarons. Their many vibrant colours and flavours, some utterly sublime, some downright weird, are so appealing to my senses and imagination. Eating a macaron is a textural delight – I relish biting into the crisp […]
The weekend before Jac and I went to Canberra, my eldest sister CW and her hubby M hosted family afternoon tea at their home. My parents were on holidays overseas, so it was just us siblings and our partners, my two nieces Ruby and Zoe, and CW and M’s chihuahuas. As usual, we all brought […]
We recently had dinner with our friends S and D and their kids at their local eatery, Riley’s Wood Fired Cafe in Brentwood. Riley’s is located among shops in the heart of Brentwood, with a bottle shop and butcher next door. You’d never think to go to Brentwood in search of a great meal, but […]
My family got together for breakfast a few weeks ago to celebrate my brother and dad’s birthdays. My sister Juji’s birthday’s is also in September but she was overseas at the time, eating her way around Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia. It was a breakfast of family favourites!
