Believe me when I say that my job, workplace and workmates are fantastic – but this week was a horrendously shitty week. My lunches were great though – time to walk in the sunshine, eat and take a temporary breather – all very important things. Monday: two papercuts by 10am and the first of many […]
Heheheh, okay so perhaps it wasn’t really an extravaganza, but I thought that would be a cool title for this post. Last night, we went out for dinner at our favourite asian food hall with my Mum and Dad, my sister Juji and her boyfriend and my brother. My brother’s wife (my sister-in-law) wasn’t there […]
Yesterday, C and I had lunch at Taurus Hawker Foods. We’ve been talking about meeting up for a meal for aaaaaaaages, since before I finished my PhD. It took till Easter long weekend for us to get our act together! Our failure to get together all this time is not because we’re slack – actually, […]
I had a very nice birthday. Thank you to everyone who emailed or left lovely birthday wishes in the comments. That was so sweet of you all! :) I started my day at the usual early hour, fed the cats, exercised and then ripped open a little package that had been sitting in my study […]
On Thursday morning I made myself French toast for breakfast. I must say I love the smell of butter in the frying pan early in the morning! Though of course, the smell of frying bacon beats that by miles! At work, it was Goz Day. As I’d planned, my goz this week was filled with […]
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 […]
Last weekend, we had lunch at our favourite food hall. Jac had a serve of Vietnamese rice paper rolls, filled with chicken, prawns, lettuce and noodles. They came with a bowl of dipping sauce topped with fried shallots and crushed peanuts. For some reason, the stripy, segmenty prawns showing through the rice paper grossed me […]
It’s been a long time since I ate Hainan chicken rice at uni. That’s the annoying thing about the long summer holidays – all the food places at uni shut down. Hey, I’m not saying the staff shouldn’t have holidays! I just miss being able to eat char kway teow or chicken rice for the […]
I had a very productive day working on the thesis at uni today and have decided to celebrate by blogging this evening – wooohoo! VR is cooking dinner and it should be ready soon – wooohoo! On Wednesday evening Jac and I went out to dinner at Spencer Village. We’ve been just so busy lately […]
