We had recently had dinner at Sapporo (186 Rutland Avenue, Carlisle). We’ve eaten at this tiny restaurant run by a little old couple (he cooks, she serves) many times now. It’s simple, homestyle delicious cooking. We ordered prawn dumplings, called “shu mai” on the menu. They came with a big blob of wasabi and a […]
A couple of Thursdays ago, I got lunch from Noodlebox (118 Royal St, East Perth) – I designed my own noodle stir-fry. I chose thick egg noodles, chicken, fish cake, egg, tofu, bean sprouts, snow peas and broccoli, cooked in oyster sauce. After I placed my order, I was told they’d run out of tofu […]
We grabbed a quick dinner recently at the International Food Hall in East Victoria Park. Jac ordered a small teriyaki tofu meal. We’ve found over the years that small is a good enough size for a decent feed. You do get a bowl of miso as well as the rice, salad and your choice of […]
It was TS’s birthday on a couple of Wednesdays ago. We’d chipped in for a present and card. For morning tea, TS brought in a magnificent berry flan from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie. For lunch, I grabbed takeaway noodles from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal St, East Perth). I’ve had these dry curry fried […]
My family celebrated Chinese New Year last weekend with a delicious family reunion dinner. This year, Mum cooked just one of the dishes – the must-have chap chye, which consists of cabbage, mushrooms and other fungi, beancurd skin and vermicelli. I’ve loved this dish ever since I was a child. We were all very pleased […]
This was such an unhealthy lunch! J and I have been craving this dish from Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth) for sometime. We’d actually gone to Munch in the week after Christmas with a craving for these noodles with crispy fried chicken and were devasted (OK OK, maybe […]
Last Tuesday morning I woke with a craving for fried rice. Since I wasn’t packing bento lunches (my workmate J and I had made plans for lunch, coming up in the next post), I had time to quickly rustle up a batch of fried rice. I used cooked rice we had in the fridge, SPAM, […]
Dinner last Monday night: red curry with chicken and lots of vegetables (potato, sweet potato, broccoli, onion and green beans). Jac used red curry paste from a jar – Valcom brand, I believe. I think I prefer Thai green curry to red, but this was very tasty. My favourite curry dishes (in no particular order): […]
The dinner Jac panfried Nile perch fillets and served them with salad. She bought the fish fillets frozen; they turned out lovely. This is another one of the meaty, white-fleshed fish I enjoy so much. The bento I woke on Monday morning to rumbling thunder and flashing lightning. I think a loud thunder crash woke […]
Every now and then, I cook myself my old favourite dish of fried SPAM with egg, Heinz baked beans and rice. And even if I’ve had the crappiest of crappy days, I always feel at least a little better as I enjoy this comforting savoury meal.
