Mom Dumpling House serves Northeastern Chinese cuisine, which has its origins in the region of China known historically as Manchuria, which is next to Russia and Mongolia. It’s not the Chinese food typically known to most of us in Perth – you’ll have to go elsewhere to get your honey chicken and salt and pepper […]
Din Tai Fung is older than me, born as a dumpling stall in Taipei back in 1974. There are now Din Tai Fung restaurants in ten different countries around the world including Australia. Sydney is home to three Din Tai Fungs and Juji, Jay and I visit the restaurant at World Square not once, but […]
We bought a takeaway pack of pork and vegetable dumplings from Mi Shanghai, the dim sum stand at the Carousel Shopping Centre food court. When we got home, Jac waited patiently while I took the dumplings out of their takeaway plastic container, placed them on a plate, poured soy sauce into a dipping bowl and […]
We had a family afternoon tea recently at my parents’ home. Jac and I contributed siew mai to the meal – we bought three or four serves from Fook Kee at Spencer Village International Food Hall (200 Spencer Road, Thornlie) and brought them along. Mum and I placed them in a dish to heat up […]

Remember how at lunch recently my friend MK and I agreed we should get together and hang out more often? Well, she picked me up after work on Friday and we went to her place. Her hubby AK made dinner, and of course Jac joined us too. This bowl of salad sat right under my […]
VR shouted us dinner on Friday night. We went to Sapporo in Carlisle. Jac and I have eaten at Sapporo before (see previous posts: 1, 2, 3). VR hasn’t really eaten much Japanese food before but was keen to give it a go. We each ordered an entree and a main and offered each other […]
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 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 […]
