Thanks for all your comments and interest in my posts about our recent stay at the Hyatt Regency hotel in Perth. I sent a letter to the Hyatt Regency Hotel Perth, dated 24th August, describing my disappointments and experience. I received an impressively prompt response from the general manager of the hotel, dated 28th August. […]
My workmate J recently bought herself a vanilla slice (AU$2.50) from Punch (Unit 4, 135 Royal St, East Perth). She kindly allowed me to photograph it before she sank her teeth into it. They aren’t the largest vanilla slices we’ve seen – J has quite small hands, and the vanilla slice was about as long […]
I packed our lunches in the Decor Tellfresh Quarters lunch boxes last Friday. I made us four different sandwiches: smoked chicken, spinach and mashed avocado; Swiss cheese and brinjal pickle (plus sliced red onion for Jac); curried hard-boiled egg with cucumber; tuna and mayonnaise mix with lettuce. I packed us each half a hard-boiled egg [……
This was my bento lunch last Thursday: another big salad (mixed greens, sugar snap peas, grape tomatoes, yellow capsicum, cucumber and baby carrots); half a smoked chicken breast, sliced and served in a lettuce leaf; and a mini quiche Jac bought me the day before. Jac bought the smoked chicken from Woolworth’s and the mini […]
I didn’t take a packed lunch to work last Wednesday. J and I went to our favourite lunch bar, 88 Royal (88a Royal St, East Perth), where I grabbed myself a box of stir-fried curried rice noodles with egg, bean sprouts, onion and slivers of BBQ pork. It had the best aroma! I was really […]
Lunch: chicken karaage set from Sushi@Royal (131 Royal St, East Perth). The chicken karaage set was one of the first meals I ever bought for lunch since I began working in East Perth. It was just as yummy this time around. The rice was topped with a very light sprinkling of toasted black sesame seeds […]
Jac didn’t need lunch for work last Monday. This is what I packed for myself. Salad, sliced leftover spicy Italian sausage, steamed broccolini and a little curried coleslaw. I just love how brightly green the broccolini is. I simply sliced up one of those delicious spicy sausages and included a monkey food pick for easy […]
Recently, Jac had a hankering for pizza. We each chose a pizza and got some garlic bread (not pictured). This was my choice – the “Special” (it’s not a special, its name is actually “Special”) – ham, pepperoni, bacon, fresh tomato, onion, pineapple – and we asked for extra mushrooms. I hate how when y…
Shredded cabbage, carrot and capsicum, which I dressed lightly in Paul Newman’s own light lime vinaigrette. A simple salad of cos lettuce, snow peas and cherry tomatoes. This bread comes from Bakers Delight and is called the “Continental Hungarian Roll”. It’s topped with a crusty layer of cheese and is unbelievably soft and …
Two Friday nights ago, Jac roasted a couple of half chooks and potato wedges in the oven. She’d rubbed the chicken all over with onion salt, garlic salt and black pepper, and the seasoned skin was deliciously crispy. This was my plate, with a chicken thigh and drumstick (of course) and a dish of tomato […]
