U & I Cafe, Northbridge
A 24-hour pho place has moved in at one of Northbridge's most famous corners. It should easily be a roaring, slurpalicious success. Is it?

Another day, another Design Your Own Noodlebox! It’s been the same design every time in the past few weeks: thick egg noodles with chicken, tofu, egg, bok choy and fish cake, stir-fried in oyster sauce. I’ve been getting the regular (big) sized noodle box – it’s a hefty deliciously satisfying feed! Workmate J got herself [&h…
How did I miss this post? Jac went to the shops and brought me home some takeaway chicken noodle soup – or so she thought. She ordered “chicken noodle soup” and expected chicken noodle soup, but as soon as I looked at the meat I knew it wasn’t chicken. A bite later confirmed what I […]
On the Saturday Jac and I went into the city to find me a wedding outfit (we’d found Jac’s dress in a boutique in Mount Lawley earlier that week), we had lunch in the Carillon Food Hall. While Jac looked for a sandwich or salad, I had two cravings to satisfy. First, a craving for […]
Last Thursday night: Jac made me noodle soup for dinner. Thin rice vermicelli, broccoli, Chinese cabbage, beansprouts, spring onions, chicken and char siu (Jac came home from work and made char siu using a nice piece of fresh pork and Lee Kum Kee brand char siu sauce). The broth was chicken stock, topped with deepfried […]
Last Saturday, at the shopsJac’s chicken caesar wrap from Pure + Natural. I suppose it’s a deconstructed sort of caesar filling in the wrap – lettuce, bacon and some sort of caesar-style sauce (but of course there shouldn’t be tomato in a caesar – and I guess if I was being nitpicky I’d say the […]
Still running behind with posts! Here’s lunch from two Saturdays ago: we shared fried kway teow from Sun Sun at the Carousel Shopping Centre food hall. It seemed paler and less saucy than usual, and there was no fish cake or sliced beef in it. No fish cake! I was disappointed and dissatisfied. The chilli […]
While I ate this bowl of noodle soup, I was thinking about eating a Filet O Fish and fries with a side order of Chicken McNuggets with tomato ketchup, followed by a fresh, hot McDonald’s apple pie. Actually, if I were really doing exactly what I wanted without thinking about extra fat and sugar and […]
Last week’s lunches… Monday: SRM and I had lunch at Toraya Sushi (Shop 8 Subiaco Square, 29 Station Street, Subiaco). SRM had the medium size teriyaki fish bento box (AU$12.00). I had a serve of crab claws (AU$4.00) and a cooked tuna salad (AU$6.00). They’d trimmed the pointy tips off the claws. Without the pointy […]
My plan is to eat less deep fried and “bad” foods for lunch, for as long as I can keep it up. Regular readers will know how much I love bad food. I don’t plan to make any radical changes – there’ll still be burgers and pies in my diet, though perhaps not as often. […]
