Dessert was also buffet-style, with cheese and cracker platters, fruit platters and slices of chocolate cake and a big bowl of serve-yourself cream. I was able to sneak back to the table after everyone had been up for the first round and take this shot of a surprisingly intact fruit platter: Jac got herself a […]
Well, obviously I could really only just photograph my own plate. I made sure to place the food there reasonably neatly. I took photos around the plate as well as one whole-plate shot. Here’s the first part-plate shot, featuring roast beef, roast turkey (both with gravy) and ham (from that big cold meat platter). The […]
Lou and Dan’s wedding reception was held at Melville Glades Golf Club. Having eaten only a chicken pie for breakfast and some turkish bread and tzatziki dip at Sascha and Dave’s between wedding and reception, I was absolutely ravenous. Once we’d sat down at our table, my bread roll promptly made friends with my tummy. […]
We moved onto dinner at Ha Tien Vietnamese Restaurant, which is located at 2/800 Albany Highway in East Victoria Park. Everyone at my end of the table kindly agreed to let me photograph their food. The photos probably aren’t the best, as I took them very very quickly. Each person ordered her own main dish […]
Tonight we went to our friend Lou’s hens night (I’ve posted previously about a fantastic barbie at Lou and Dan’s previously – see here and here). The hens night consisted of a few parts: part 1 was cocktails and nibblies at Lou and Dan’s place (Dan and his mates were out partying elsewhere for his […]
We both ordered from the Straits Malacca Cuisine stall at the food hall. C ordered the pan mee. It looked really good – lots of pork, fish balls and two crispy fried wantan, which C said were really good. I ordered the claypot chicken rice. When I ate this back in August last year it […]
Yesterday, I met up with C to see The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Some time ago when we realised we loved both The Fast and the Furious films, we agreed that we’d catch the next one together when it came out. C patiently waited until semester was over and I was free (thanks, […]
On Tuesday night we had dinner at Myra and Rick’s. They are a lovely South African couple that we’ve known for around six and a half years; Jac’s house-sat for them and looked after their menagerie of two brindle staffies (staffordshire terriers), two cats and two tanks of fish. They are more than just “the […]
Last night, around 9:15pm while I was in the middle of posting, we had a power failure. Our whole street was affected. Since there wasn’t much to do other than sit around with torches or candles (Jac had been relaxing on the couch watching X-Files on dvd; I had been in my study sitting at […]
We went to a barbie at Lou and Dan’s today. They put on a great barbie with loads of food. Enough preamble, on with the photos! Here’s a view of the barbie loaded with sausages and shishkebabs. The stuff sprinkled over the kebabs is garlic. Dan’s now completely unfazed by my photo-taking while he’s cooking […]
