We will be spending Christmas day with Jac’s family. Every year, each couple/person is assigned stuff to bring for the meal/day. We’re bringing the Christmas ham, cheeses and Christmas crackers. Instead of getting a great big chunk of ham on the bone we’ve got two small hams – one’s smoked and the other is baked. [&hel…
More from Mum, emailed Sunday arvo 5th December 2005… We’ve had so much food (and such a lot of variety) since my last email it is unbelievable! I was telling Aunt T about how you, tfp, take photos of whatever food we eat at our get-togethers, etc and she said it was a pity we […]
Mum’s foodie excerpts from Malaysia No.2, Friday, 2nd December. As you can see, the food consumption has truly accelerated! I’m so jealous! Already we have had our typical Malay nasi lemak with beef rendang and sambal sotong, popiah, pork ball soup, goreng pisang, peanut-sugar pancake, fresh coconut water out of the whole fruit, and las…

The result was happy children with chocolate-streaked faces and very sticky hands. I had to take this picture really fast because S wanted to plunge in. None of […]
I must say the first thing I thought about when I realised there would be seven of us dining was the food photo opportunities! I promised everyone that I would take the photos of their food very quickly, and so they were happy to cooperate. So let’s begin. K’s mum ordered one of the daily […]
Last night we went to The High Road Bistro in Riverton to celebrate Jac’s sister-in-law K’s birthday. We had an early dinner, Morty and Helen Seinfeld-style (well, we were late diners even by their standards! See the episode The Cadillac, Part II). We met there at 5:30pm and left before 7:30pm! The High Road Bistro […]
Mum made the birthday cake, which had a secret ingredient of custard powder. It was very nice actually.
Last night we had a dinner to celebrate my eldest sister’s birthday. Mum also wanted to give my cousin and her hubby a good home-cooked meal before they return home with their new baby (they live in the country, and have been in Perth for the birth of the baby, who was born on the […]
