On Sunday evening the family got together to celebrate my Dad and brother’s birthdays, which are both in September. My younger sister Juji’s birthday is also in September, but we’re celebrating with high tea next weekend – stay tuned for the photos of that ;). We had three kinds of Chinese roast/barbecue meats – these …
Still catching up on posts! On Friday night last week, Jac and I, her brother J and her mum (known affectionately as Pattycakes) went out to dinner to celebrate Pattycake’s birthday. We went to Caddy’s, full name Jack Caddy’s Bistro and Ale Bar, located at 280 Bannister Road in Canning Vale. Pattycakes had been there […]
Last Sunday night we all went out for dinner at The Manila Restaurant to celebrate Mum’s birthday. Ever since hearing about how much we enjoyed the buffet there (see posts – savoury here, sweet here) , Mum was keen to try it. She and Dad had never eaten Filipino food before and thought it sounded […]
Had a family lunch today, which Mum called “East meets West”. Beef curry… Sweet and sour pork… My brother’s mum-in-law brought a yummy vegetable bake. Made with broccoli and cauliflower, it was like a cross between cauliflower cheese and a quiche – it was made with eggs, soup mix and cheese on top. Peri-peri chic…
This morning we had breakfast at my parents’ place. My mum had invited my sister jl over for breakfast before she flew back to Sydney, and then Mum decided to invite everyone else as well and have a big family breaky. And big it certainly was! One of my aunts brought along almond croissants. I […]

We had a family dinner on Wednesday evening – no particular reason other than we haven’t had a get together for a while, I think. Oh, and we really wanted to meet my sister and her hubby’s puppy Paco. Everyone brought a dish to share. Mum and Dad’s friends M and A came along too. […]
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 […]
Jac and her mum were originally supposed to go on a road trip together over the Easter long weekend to see her brother B, his partner K and their kids in Kalgoorlie, but there were a few unforeseen technical complications which made this impossible (long story, I won’t elaborate further). And after many alternative Plans […]
Last night my family got together for dinner in a Chinese restaurant. We were celebrating my sister’s hubby’s birthday, saying farewell to Koo Ma who’s returning home to Adelaide, wishing my brother a safe business trip to the US (he leaves tomorrow morning and will be gone for a couple of weeks), but also having […]
