A busy day last Friday and I had lunch rather late – for me, anyway – after 1pm. I’m usually starting to get hungry and thinking about what to have for lunch well before 11am! I didn’t have time to eat out, so I grabbed a quick takeaway fish katsu and rice (AU$8.80) from Sushi@Royal […]
I got three small teriyaki and rice dishes from Taka’s Kitchen (corner Barrack and Wellington Streets) for Jac and me to share for dinner last Thursday night. They were $5.00 to $6.00-something each – a cheap and tasty feed. First: teriyaki beef. The beef looked very roughly chopped and I thought it would be tough […]
For dinner last Monday night, Jac made a garden salad, with mixed greens, yellow capsicum, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes and, for an extra crunch, sliced tinned water chestnuts. She also whipped up a potato salad, with potatoes (duh!), peas, bacon, hard-boiled egg and parsley. The dressing was a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream and a little [&hel…
I was a little distracted and excited last Monday, with Jac due to return home in the evening after two and a bit weeks away. I packed myself a bento lunch of leftovers – fried rice and panfried fish. In fact, my bento lunch was pretty much exactly the same as my dinner the night […]
The last time I bought a takeaway dinner from Taka (150 Barrack St, corner Wellington St, Perth), it was delicious, but not filling enough. I decided not to buy a large sized meal this time though, because the large meals come with miso soup and I didn’t want to carry a cup of hot miso […]
Last Thursday evening, Jac and I had dinner at an Italian restaurant called Casa del’ Amici (“The Vale Shopping Centre”, Shop 23, 393 Warton Road, Canning Vale). The place was busier than we thought it would be on a Thursday night – luckily, they were able to squeeze us in without a booking. We started […]
Last Tuesday I didn’t take lunch to work, and J, CF and I decided to eat at Ba Ba Black (Shop 25, 60 Royal St – Cnr Plain St, next to The Royal pub). Yes, I ate there two days in a row! CF had skipped breakfast that morning and was craving bacon and eggs. […]
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 Tuesday night’s dinner was very simple – panfried basa fillets with salad. I ate the tartare sauce not only with the fish, but also as a dipping sauce for the salad. This fish was bought frozen rather than fresh but tasted absolutely beautiful – tender, moist and flaky. Jac managed to get a golden […]
Here was dinner Monday evening last week. Steam-in-the-bag fish in lemon and herb sauce, which Jac served with steamed broccoli and garlic vegetables. The fish was, surprisingly, quite good for something “in-the-bag”. And to go with my fish and vegetables, a bowl of Jac’s fluffy buttery mashed potato. “I don’t think I …
