I recently had lunch with Cellobella at Mai’s Vietnamese restaurant (51 Bennett St, East Perth). To start, we shared a serve of vegetable spring rolls. They arrived piping hot and crisp. It was a good thing the waiter brought along side plates for us to eat them with – they were much to hot to […]
On Wednesday, J and I grabbed takeaway curry from IGA supermarket (Shop 2, 81 Royal St, East Perth) for our lunch. J got herself a small combination, with chicken briyani rice, butter chicken and chick pea curry. I got a regular combination, with chicken briyani, chicken tikka, potatoes and eggplant curry. It’s very good value […]
Another dish I tend to cook when Jac’s away is green curry chicken. I cooked this last Friday night for my dinner, using green curry paste from a jar (I used Valcom brand curry paste, which is made in Thailand), coconut milk, a little sugar and fish sauce (as per the instructions on the jar), […]
Dinner last Wednesday night was a fish and vegetable curry – vegetables (zucchini, cabbage, potato, sweet potato, carrot and onion) cooked in a korma curry sauce from a jar, with the fish pieces added right at the end so as not to overcook them. It was yummy, served on freshly cooked rice. Generous servings were […]
Last Saturday, Jac and I had lunch with my sister Juji and her boyfriend Jay at Makan2 cafe (357 Albany Highway, Victoria Park). I’d walked past this place before and heard about it from friends and other Perth food bloggers. We ordered at the counter and started with a round of drinks – Nescafe tarik […]
Lunch: chicken karaage set from Sushi@Royal (131 Royal St, East Perth). The chicken karaage set was one of the first meals I ever bought for lunch since I began working in East Perth. It was just as yummy this time around. The rice was topped with a very light sprinkling of toasted black sesame seeds […]
We’re back! It was only a short getaway, but we really enjoyed spending the time together without thinking about our usual weekend chores, like grocery shopping and doing the dishes. We ate some delicious food – I’m in the process of uploading the photos and writing up the posts. In the meantime, I have plenty […]
Another non-bento Friday. J and I went to IGA supermarket (Royal Street, East Perth) to have a curry combination for lunch. I chose a two meat, one vegetable and rice combination. You get a choice of chicken biryani or steamed basmati rice; I chose the biryani. For my meat curries I chose the butter chicken […]
Jac’s mum friend E cooked up more delicious food for us – yellow rice, dhal and kofta curry. Please excuse the appearance of the plate, I microwaved the food to piping hot before quickly taking this photo and then plunging in.
Dinner last Sunday night – Jac used the last of a jar of korma curry paste we had in the fridge. With a little light cream, onions and chicken thigh pieces she cooked up a very tasty chicken curry. For a vegie dish, she stir-fried cabbage, green beans, carrot, onion and garlic in the wok, […]
