Looks pretty good, right? Hainanese chicken rice (AU$7.00) from Newton Circle, a stall at the Carillon City Food Court in the city. Hainanese chicken rice, served with a bowl of chicken soup and gingery garlicky sauce… …and chicken and steamed green Chinese vegies. Unfortunately, the chicken and vegies tasted a little old. Jac saw the […
A couple of dinners from this week – first, panfried fish fillets seasoned with lemon pepper… …served with a simple fresh salad garnished with hard-boiled eggs. And a tasty beef casserole made with celery, carrots, mushrooms and red wine, served with mashed potato.
Monday – I ate lunch by myself at Toraya Sushi while reading a book. Look! A heart-shaped spring onion! I ordered the teriyaki chicken lunch box, large size (AU$15.00). I really felt like having the karaage donburi (AU$9.00), but once again wanted to avoid eating a big bowl of fried chicken. With the large size […]
On Sunday morning, we decided to try the all-you-can-eat dim sum at Rising Sun Restaurant, at 29 Manning Road, Cannington. The all-you-can-eat dim sum costs $11.00 per person, and is available on weekends from 10:30am till 2 or 3pm, I can’t remember (bad, baad TFP!). You pay at the cashier before you are seated, so […]
Back to my whinge about weekends not being long enough, we ended up spending most of last Saturday shopping. And not even fun shopping, like for DVDs, books, electrical appliances or gadgets (well, that’s fun shopping to me!). It was all groceries and household item (toilet paper, laundry detergent) shopping. Needing some food to give [&helli…
TFP got a mention recently at news.com.au in an article about Aussies nominated for the Bloggies. Click here to read the article. A special thanks to Rhonda, for alerting the article’s author of his initial *oversight* (see the comments at the bottom of the article)! :)
It was short working week last week, thanks to the Australia Day Long Weekend. Tuesday – I had lunch on my own at Toraya Sushi. I tried the teriyaki salmon sushi (AU$4.00, 4 pcs) for the first time. The fish had coating of batter, which was soggy from teriyaki sauce and being wrapped in sushi […]
Vegetable soup, made with celery, cabbage, tomato, pumpkin, onions and carrot. I think Jac adapted this recipe from the Cabbage Soup Diet. We don’t actually do that diet, but we really like the cabbage soup. It’s a great way to use up all the vegies. We also had snapper fillets sprinkled with dried herbs, wrapped […]
Last weekend, Jac also made mango ice cream. We bought a tray of mangoes so Jac could put her plan into action – to make ice cream and freeze the rest of the mango flesh ready for smoothies. We got ice cream recipe from her Margaret Fulton’s Book of Ices and Desserts (published 1983 by […]
Last weekend, we had a turkey thigh roast for Saturday night’s dinner. There were a whole pile of these as well as turkey breast roasts on sale at the frozen foods section at the supermarket – surplus stock from Christmas time, no doubt. We love dark poultry meat, and thigh is my absolute favourite. I […]
