Every year for her birthday morning tea, my workmate B brings in a box full of cannoli from Corica Pastries for everyone in our team. I’ve been working with B for over 3 years now and the birthday cannoli is something I really look forward to. I only eat cannoli once a year – at […]
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 […]
Mmmm, bacon… Jac gave me a lift to the train station one morning and we stopped to grab breakfast at a lunch bar on the way – takeaway bacon and egg toasted sandwiches. I didn’t unwrap my sandwich until I was at my desk at work, and I was thrilled to see the layers of […]
Birthday breakfast, Part 2 Warning to vegetarians – this post is extremely meaty. :) Still hungry after breakfast at The Pony Club, Juji and Jay, Jac and I all decided to drive further up Beaufort Street to Mondo Butchers, where on Saturday mornings you can buy roast meat sandwiches, with meat carved straight off hot […]
We enjoyed an afternoon snack of party-sized pastries from Harbour Town Bake House, the bakery at Harbour Town, on our recent weekend in West Perth. For those unfamiliar with the concept of a “party” pie, “party”-sized pastries are mini ones, named as such because they’re perfect finger food for serving to party guests…
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 […]
After lunch at Mamak on the Saturday I was in Sydney, I walked around Chinatown and Haymarket, mostly just window shopping. I mentioned in one of my AudioBoos how torturous it was walking past all the glorious sights and delicious smells in Chinatown, watching people sucking on noodles and seeing roast ducks and barbecue pork […]
Jac picked up a BBQ chicken from the supermarket and served it up with salad for dinner. Here’s my plate, with a chicken thigh and drumstick, skin on (of course!). Jac chopped up some iceberg lettuce, cucumber and tomato. I cracked black pepper onto my tomato. :D She also made a quick potato and pea […]
A Hungry Jack’s Whopper makes a fine brunch! I love HJ’s onion rings too. I can eat them hot or cold. The Whopper was a particularly oniony one this time, so this was a very oniony meal! Their nuggets are pretty good, though I prefer McDonald’s Chicken McNuggets. There’s just nothing like a McNugget. I […]
A quick dinner at Nando’s! Jac ordered the BBQ chicken thigh pieces with a small garden salad. The salad, as always, came with two dressings – the traditional balsamic vinaigrette and the creamy trio of roasted bell peppers. Jac used the vinaigrette. I decided to try the new “Portugese paella”. You get grilled chicken breast…
