We had breakfast at the Cuckoo Chef cafe, Carousel Shopping Centre, on ANZAC Day morning. Jac ordered the eggs benedict. The toasted Turkish bread, ham, poached eggs and spinach were smothered in thick, almost congealed-looking hollandaise sauce (see the creases in the sauce? Ewww, hollandaise skin!). The poached egg yolks weren’t as gooey as…
On our first evening back after our holiday, we went to dinner at my parents’ home. It was their friends S and T’s last night in Perth (we ‘kids’ call them “Uncle S” and “Auntie T”). Auntie T did what she always does on the last night of their stays – she cooked up a […]
This is post 8 out of a series of 8 posts (the full list is at the end of this post). This was the plan for our last day on Hamilton Island: go out for a hearty breakfast, then finish packing and tidy up the apartment. Because no one was due to check in at […]
Here’s a Nando’s Party Pack for two, a real chickenfest: two quarter chickens (with drumsticks), two chicken thigh pieces* and two chicken tenderloins. Jac got them basted in Nando’s BBQ rib marinade rather than the standard peri peri. We’ve been having all our Nando’s chicken basted in BBQ lately – I love it. It…
This is another place I’ll miss from East Perth. I know the noodles at Noodlebox (118 Royal St, East Perth) are far from authentic, but I love noodle stir-fries, and a noodle stir-fry would have to be pretty dismal for me to not enjoy it. This was one of my very last Noodlebox lunches. I’ve […]
Another pre-Christmas post! This one, lunch with work colleagues at the Grosvenor Hotel (339 Hay St, Perth). TC had the Morrocan chicken panini – the bread was toasted and filled with grilled fillets of Morrocan spiced chicken, as well as bacon, cheese, avocado, tomato, lettuce and ranch sauce, served with seasoned beer battered chips ($AU$18…
I found myself running late last Wednesday, and didn’t have time to pack a bento lunch. I also didn’t have time to grab breakfast before leaving for work. When I arrived at the office, I was starving. J was on her way out to get a coffee and told me she’d pick me up something […]
I mentioned sometime ago that I want to try and eat more healthy lunches. Last week, I bought a bag of washed rocket (also known as arugula) and spinach leaves, and with a few other bits and pieces and a little help from Jac, TFP was eating healthier lunches! Monday – Jac made some salmon […]
Last Sunday morning, we both woke up hungry. A flick through the Entertainment Book proved inspiring – Pancakes at Carillon sounded appealing to us both. I haven’t been there since I was sixteen years old, when I had breakfast there with a group of my school friends, and I remember really enjoying it. And I’m […]
Last Sunday, Jac and I went out for a slightly belated birthday breakfast. She left the choice of where we went up to me, and I chose the Sheraton Hotel, where they serve a full breakfast buffet. I’d chosen the Sheraton because 1) I love hotel buffet breakfasts (especially at a 5-star hotel!) and 2) […]
