We made fried rice for dinner last Tuesday night, with chicken, carrot, green beans, mushroom, corn kernels, onion, garlic and egg (broken into the fried rice mixture right at the end), flavoured with oyster sauce. It was delicious. I’d been really craving home cooked fried rice. Jac cooked plenty so we would have leftovers for […]
Thank you to everyone who’s left a comment at my Utterly ridiculous post. On a related note, Katie wrote about receiving her first nasty comment at her blog A Byootaful Life. She reflects on the different ways bloggers respond to nasty comments. I like to analyse and rip the comment to shreds, and if ridicule […]
Last Tuesday I didn’t take lunch to work, and J, CF and I decided to eat at Ba Ba Black (Shop 25, 60 Royal St – Cnr Plain St, next to The Royal pub). Yes, I ate there two days in a row! CF had skipped breakfast that morning and was craving bacon and eggs. […]
I met up with my friend Chad for breakfast last Monday! We’ve been emailing and SMSing regularly but have both been really busy (regular readers may remember Chad used to work with me but is currently on a secondment at a different office) – it’s been a little tricky finding the time to get together. […]
Back to normal programming! This is what I packed for our bento lunches last Monday: herb and garlic chicken wingettes, salad, three fruits (strawberries, papaya and starfruit), and for Jac, a portion of Kiri cheese spread and bread and butter. Since our lunch featured star-shaped fruit, I drew a star on Jac’s bento note. To […]
I wrote a post recently about a bento lunch in which I had French toast and SPAM squares, which I ate like sandwiches. It was very simple to make, so simple in fact, that 1) I didn’t use a recipe and 2) I didn’t even think of what I did as a recipe. This was […]
We had a fantastic fry-up for breakfast last Sunday: bacon, garlic mushrooms, scrambled eggs, spinach and toast. As usual, I had the pleasure of eating the pan-roasted garlic cloves. On one slice of lightly buttered toast I spread kaya, and on the other I spread St Dalfour blueberry with cranberry preserve. Not only did I […]
Before he moved to Canada, my friend SRM told me there was a little cafe at the Victoria Park Centro Shopping Centre (formerly known as “Heart of the Park”) that sold nasi lemak. Naturally, Jac and I just had to check it out. Last Saturday was the day – we stopped by for a nasi […]
Friday bento I was supposed to meet my friend Chad for breakfast nice and early last Friday morning; I’d told Jac I wouldn’t have time to do bento. But I got a call from Chad late on Thursday evening – she was crook and wouldn’t be able to make it. I hadn’t prepared anything for […]
Last Thursday night, we went out for dinner at Taurus Hawker Foods ((Shop 10, 113 Collins Road, Willetton) with our friend M (remember this delicious vegetarian barbecue?). M had chicken* fried kway teow- stir-fried flat rice noodles with chicken, beansprouts and green Chinese vegetable. M commented on the lovely charry flavour of her noodles. I [&…
