Chee cheong fun has got to be one of my favourite noodle dishes. It’s steamed soft rice flour noodles. We buy these from Fook Kee at Spencer Village International Food Hall, 200 Spencer Road, Thornlie. Fook Kee serves the chee cheong fun rolled up and chopped into segments, served with a sweet thick sauce and […]
LunchWhen I have a hainan chicken rice craving, I usually have Penang Cuisine’s chicken rice. On this occasion I decided to give the Straits Cuisine stall’s hainan chicken rice a go. The verdict? Not bad at all! The rice wasn’t as garlicky as Penang Cuisine’s (I love really garlicky chicken rice!), but it had a […]
A recent feed at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie)… I bought a packet of nasi lemak from Sarindo – I chose the fried fish version (you can choose between fish and chicken). As well as a piece of tumeric-flavoured fried fish, you get fried egg, three slices of fancy cut cucumber, ikan bilis […]
At Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) recently, Jac had a teriyaki fish salad from the Japanese stall. It’s very nice, but a very small meal indeed. I knew she’d need something else… I had been craving chee cheong fun (fresh rice flour roll) and yong tow foo (stuffed beancurd and vegetables) from Fook [&helli…

I do like eating lettuce stems. Tuesday: My day off. The cats and I fell asleep in the late afternoon, snuggled together and all toasty on the […]
Belated text to go with the pictures: This was a very basic cheese and mustard on toast. The cheese was Farmers Union Old Bitey (just the name makes me want to eat it! It is yuuuuuummy cheese!) and we used Australian mustard to add a little more bitey-ness. But just the cheese on its own […]
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 […]
I worked at home yesterday as our new stove was being delivered. It’s an Electrolux Chef. Our handy man, who is a qualified gas fitter came over and hooked it up today. I was out at the time, shopping for my friend MK’s birthday present. Apparently I missed all the fun of cleaning behind the […]
I didn’t make it to uni today. Jac needed me to help get our stuff back from the party house, so I decided to skip the joys of public transport on a public holiday and the lecture. I’ll either listen to it online or attend the repeat lecture on Wednesday afternoon. After we got our […]
