On Thursday morning of my week off, I went to the shops for a few hours of retail therapy. I started my day with breakfast at Hungry Jack’s – a Grilled Chicken Burger. I love these – the flame grilled-flavoured processed chicken pattie, the tangy ranch dressing, crisp shredded iceberg lettuce, juicy sliced tomato, the […]
Continued from the previous post – Weekend at the Hyatt – Part 1. A not so good start in the morning We woke up hungry on Sunday morning, really looking forward to our room service breakfast. We sat in bed and watched cartoons on Foxtel while we waited for the food to arrive. We’d asked […]
I didn’t bring lunch on Tuesday because we were going out to celebrate JC’s birthday. But the feasting began before lunch, with a delicious morning tea JC brought in for everyone. She’d made this Tim Tam cheesecake (read about Tim Tams at the manufacturer’s site and Wikipedia entry). She was very apologetic about the brown […
We’d talked about going out for dinner on last Friday night, but the weather turned stormy in the afternoon and suddenly staying home and having a good chin-wag while making burgers sounded much more appealing. Here’s my burger, assembled into halves and ready to be combined into one. On the bun base: beef pattie, fried […]
An unexpected visit to the doctor last Tuesday evening meant we ran out of time to cook dinner. So, tired and hungry, we grabbed a quick late dinner at McDonald’s on the way home. The fries were a little floppy (sad to say, typical of McDonald’s fries these days!) but tasted pretty good. Jac was […]
Tuesday – the Noodle Box franchise has come to East Perth (118 Royal St). Here’s J’s Combo Box (small AU$8.50, regular $12.50), steaming hot. The Combo Box is supposed to include egg noodles, barbecue pork, chicken, beef, vegetables, prawn and shrimp in oyster sauce. J was disappointed to find she only got the tiny shrimps [&helli…
Jac had to go into work for a few hours last Sunday. Before she came home, she gave me a call and asked if I’d like her to grab me anything to eat on her way back. I asked for a Big Mac meal (burger, fries and Diet Coke). You know, it’s been over ten […]
Monday – in the previous week, Chad had met up with a friend for lunch at Mai’s Vietnamese Restaurant (51 Bennett St, East Perth) and she returned to the office with splendid tales of cheap and tasty lunch specials. J and I decided to check it out for ourselves. J chose the stewed beef with […]
Monday – Chad, SRM and I went to Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth). Chad ordered the Singapore mi fun (or bee hoon, depending on which dialect you speak). It looked pretty good to me. You can’t really see it in this photo, but there was a lot of […]
Monday – I’d been looking forward to eating the pizza left over from Friday. We ate the pizza cold, of course. J brought in homemade soup for us both to eat with the leftover pizza. It was delicious and comforting, perfect for a cool autumn’s day lunch. And J very generously gave me her recipe […]
