For Saturday lunch last weekend, Jac and I went to my folk’s place. A couple of my siblings and their partners were going to Mum and Dad’s for lunch too. Mum’s master plan was for everyone to eat nasi lemak and chicken rice, then play mahjong for the rest of the afternoon and stick around […]
We ate the last of the Nandos chicken with fresh spinach, grape tomatoes and mushrooms, and Jac made a pasta salad. As you can see, there wasn’t a lot of chicken on my plate. We’d eaten almost half a chicken each, so there wasn’t much left over for the next day! I loved the pasta […]
A recent weekend breakfast – Jac fried up some sliced ham and an egg for each of us. I buttered us some bread. Just a little freshly cracked black pepper on the egg – perfect. Here’s my last bite of ham and egg, with a dribble of tomato sauce. And I now, thanks to you […]
A number of my readers have professed their love for Nando’s – this post is especially for you (and all the other chicken lovers too)! We’d talked during the week about going out for dinner on Friday night, but both decided to see how we felt on Friday afternoon. It had been a really busy […]
One of my favourite breakfasts. Instant noodle soup with an egg broken into it. On this occasion the noodles are Indomie Special Chicken flavour. The little brown specks you see floating in the soup are the fried onions that come in the packet of fragrant oil you add to the soup. When the noodles are […]
Wednesday – J had a craving for crispy chicken rice at Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth). I was happy to go along to Munch. Once again, I was influenced by what others around me were eating – the mee goreng looked saucy, bountiful and delicious. I was pleased […]
On Tuesday last week I had the pleasure of lunching with Cellobella. We’d planned to eat at Mai’s Vietnamese restaurant, which is supposed to be open for lunch seven days a week – but when we got there we were baffled and dismayed to find the iron gates padlocked, with no note explaining why. Feeling […]
Special feature: photos by Jac! I’ve been using a Panasonic TZ3 ever since August last year. What did I do with my old camera, the Canon Ixus V? I gave it to Jac! She does use it from time to time (when she actually remembers she has a camera now!). Jac volunteered to be in […]
A few of my work colleagues informed me that this week, Nova 93.7 FM replayed their Oh My Blog segment featuring The Food Pornographer. If you’re a new reader who’s checking the site out after hearing about it on the radio, welcome! Regular readers have no doubt been expecting this post. Yep, while Jac was […]
Jac made a chicken and vegetable (green beans, carrots and broccoli) balti curry last weekend, which she served with mini pappadams. I love this kind of curry sauce, with an oniony and tomatoey base. It’s fragrant and spicy without blowing your head off (though of course if you wanted it super hot you could simply […]
