My folks had been away on holiday in Malaysia since mid-January. They got home on the 15th of February. We all got together on Thursday last week after work for a Chap Goh Mei/belated family reunion dinner, to celebrate Chinese New Year. My cousin AM, her hubby C and little daughter E were at dinner […]
Back to my whinge about weekends not being long enough, we ended up spending most of last Saturday shopping. And not even fun shopping, like for DVDs, books, electrical appliances or gadgets (well, that’s fun shopping to me!). It was all groceries and household item (toilet paper, laundry detergent) shopping. Needing some food to give [&helli…
It was Jac’s birthday on the 13th of January, and we had an Indian-themed* lunch with her family to celebrate. Jac’s brother B and his partner and kids have returned from a year on the road, travelling around Australia in a caravan, and so Jac wasn’t the only one to get presents, as we also […]
As we were leaving on Friday night (21/12/2007) we couldn’t be bothered cooking and creating piles of dishes to wash, so we had a couple of takeaway meals during the week. Dinner Wednesday night, from Maya Masala. Clockwise from the top – naan, lamb and spinach curry, vegetable curry, butter chicken. The lamb was very […]
Last weekend, Jac’s mum’s friend E kindly made us some biryani and curry, which she sent along to us in a tiffin carrier. In the top tier was finely chopped fried cabbage and carrot, and a dish of yoghurt and mint sauce (raita). In the second tier was the curry – Jac thought it was […]
We went to the shops this morning to do a little grocery shopping. But before that, we needed food. Once again, we shared a large curry combination from Maya Masala. Clockwise from the orange stuff at the top: butter chicken, lamb kurma, mushrooms and peas. The rice is under all that. And that’s the pappadum, […]
For our midweek dinner date, we decided to continue with our Victoria Park theme, and try Jewel of the Park Indian Restaurant. We’ve driven past many times and wondered if it was any good. The restaurant was almost empty when we arrived, and I chose a table for two next to the window. The whole […]
Monday: my workmate BK and I got lunch takeaway from Perth Noodle Wok. BK and SRM both had the Chilli Noodle Box (AU$10.80), both hot (you can choose mild, medium or hot, and BK and SRM are chilli fiends, so they wanted their noodles to be HOT hot). As he ate his noodles, SRM was […]
On Thursday night, we went to the shops and grabbed some dinner at the food hall. Jac was in a sushi mood and got a mixed pack (AU$7.90) – L-R: crabstick with avocado, cucumber and egg; teriyaki chicken with cucumber and mayo; carrot with cucumber, avocado and mayo. I got myself a two meat and […]
Dinner on Thursday night, while out at the shops. We shared some Indian from Maya Masala. First, a succulent piece of chicken tikka. Then, a large combination with rice and two meat curries and one vegetable curry. We each chose a meat dish; Jac chose lamb and spinach curry and I chose butter chicken (surprise […]
