Here’s a stir-fry Jac made during the week. The chicken was marinated in chilli sauce homemade by my late grandma. Chuck in noodles, a few vegies (bok choy, carrot, capsicum, green beans) and add lots of sauce and stock, and what do you have? A very saucey and delicious stir-fry!
Yay! Fook Kee at Spencer Village is up and running again! People really missed Fook Kee – I could tell by the queues today, on the first weekend since they returned from their holiday. All around us, people were tucking into Fook Kee specialties: char tau kway, tau foo goreng, loh bak, and even pork […]
Saturday night’s dinner: wholemeal dinner rolls, halved, toasted and buttered… corn on the cob… a quick salad… …and barramundi fillets, seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled. The fish was frozen rather than fresh this time; we didn’t have time after our day in Northbridge to get to a supermarket or fishmonger…
We had been too full to have dessert at the Hog’s Breath, but after a little post-lunch walk around Northbridge, we were ready to have something sweet. We shared a couple of baked goodies from Regent Cakes, Juji’s shout. We had a whole egg cake, which was sweet and oh soooo beautifully soft, light and […]
We decided to go to Hog’s Breath Cafe (I wrote about a great lunch Jac and I had there last year). Looks like the building’s had a nice paint job since last year, hey? I really like the super-bright yellow. Left – then, Right – now. Jac and Juji had cranberry juice. I don’t […]
Yesterday, Jac, my sister Juji and I went along to the 2007 National Sausage King Competition at the Northbridge Piazza, on the corner of James and Lake Streets in Northbridge. This all-day event was part of City Food and Wine Month. The programme promised “live entertainment, cooking demonstrations, tastings and free family fun”, but s…
My quick and easy Friday night dinner. I roughly up half a big brown onion and a couple of plump garlic cloves, which I fried in the wok until fragrant but not too browned. I then added cubed SPAM and stir-fried until the SPAM’s edges were nicely browned and crisp. I then added two bunches […]
I had to go and pick up my shortened trousers yesterday afternoon, and since it was late night shopping, Jac met me at the shopping centre for dinner. She had a Summer Salad Combo from Sumo Salad – a marinated mushroom and grilled chicken salad with a Nudie juice for $9.95. The marinated mushrooms were […]
I woke up on Wednesday morning with a craving for French toast. I broke a couple of eggs into a dish, poured in a little soy milk and a teaspoon or so of honey, mixed everything well together and then dipped my pieces of bread into the mixture, making sure the bread was well covered […]
After my sushi lunch and completing a few little errands, I dropped by Woolies to pick up some bread. I also had a look to see if they had any turkey bacon. Alas, they didn’t – however, I bought this interesting looking turkey thigh roast with – according to the label – “fruity stuffing”. Jac […]
