Friday night takeaway dinner

Here’s a delicious takeaway dinner I enjoyed a couple of Fridays ago – chicken stir-fry with rice (AU$9.00) from Sapporo (186 Rutland Avenue, Carlisle). The sauce was absolutely drinkable.

Chicken rice

Monday bento – fried chicken, coleslaw, salad and fruit

Not surprisingly, I used leftovers from Saturday’s big lunch in our bento boxes on Monday. I packed us both fried chicken, salad (including baby roma tomatoes, cucumber, mixed salads, mushroom and carrot sticks), a little coleslaw, and fresh fruit (watermelon and strawberries). These new sauce/mayo containers came from JBox. I filled them wit…

Breakfast fry-up

Another weekend breakfast fry-up: fried eggs, bacon, mushrooms and tomato. I’ve cracked fresh black pepper over the eggs and tomato. There’s not really a story to go with these images – they’re just pure food porn. Enjoy. :)
