SPAM Single

While we were at the supermarket, Jac spotted this product: SPAM Single! As a lover and regular consumer of SPAM, I was most intrigued and bought one just to try. It cost $1.99. I’ll let you know what it’s like when I do crack it open, but for now, you may have a look at […]

Saturday morning

We had to do some grocery shopping this morning. Jac was planning to fry up some bacon and eggs for breakfast before we went, but she had a sleep-in instead (which was fine – while she slept, I exercised). By the time she got up I was getting into the shower, and it was late […]

Lou’s Hens Night, Part 2

We moved onto dinner at Ha Tien Vietnamese Restaurant, which is located at 2/800 Albany Highway in East Victoria Park. Everyone at my end of the table kindly agreed to let me photograph their food. The photos probably aren’t the best, as I took them very very quickly. Each person ordered her own main dish […]

The hens night consisted of a few parts: part 1 was cocktails and nibblies at Lou and Dan’s place (Dan and his mates were out partying elsewhere for his […]

Tokyo Drift, Part 1

Yesterday, I met up with C to see The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Some time ago when we realised we loved both The Fast and the Furious films, we agreed that we’d catch the next one together when it came out. C patiently waited until semester was over and I was free (thanks, […]

Mmmm, pork chops.

Another meal from this week: asian pork chop with rice and steamed vegies. Jac used Lee Kum Kee brand “asian pork chops” packet sauce. First, she panfried the pork chops until golden brown. Then she added sliced onions to the pan and fried them until browned. Lastly, she added the sauce. It smelled so good […]

Rice, chicken curry and bok choy

Here was one of our dinners this week: rice with chicken curry and bok choy. The chicken curry was really simple – chicken thighs, onion, green beans and carrots cooked with Yeo’s Malaysian mild curry sauce. I blanched the bok choy in boiling water for about a minute and a half, then drained it and […]

Favourite yummies

Last night, C and I went to see The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. After that we had a tasty food hall dinner. But before I get to that, I have some catching up to do. Jac grabbed some takeaway from that very same food hall recently. Among the goodies she brought home were […]
