So this is what I ate for lunch in my first week at my new job: Monday – a chicken kebab with tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise and barbecue sauceAll kebabs come with your choice of two sauces – I really wanted garlic sauce as one of them, but as I had a meeting in the afternoon, […]
One of my last lunches with workmate J was at at Munch Terrace (230 Hay St, corner of Bennett St, East Perth). We shared the same craving that day: laksa, laksa, LAKSA! We ordered the combination laksa. In the large bowls of spicy curry soup were a mixture of egg noodles and rice noodles, with […]
This is another place I’ll miss from East Perth. I know the noodles at Noodlebox (118 Royal St, East Perth) are far from authentic, but I love noodle stir-fries, and a noodle stir-fry would have to be pretty dismal for me to not enjoy it. This was one of my very last Noodlebox lunches. I’ve […]
This is one of my all-time favourite simple pleasures and comfort meals: Indomie Mi Goreng with a Chinese omelette. I break the egg into a bowl and beat it with a fork, with a drizzle of soy sauce and a sprinkling of white pepper, then pour it into a hot frying pan (I love the […]
My workmate R brought in a batch of cloud cakes for everyone to enjoy. I didn’t actually have one myself, so I can’t tell you what they were like. But the rest of the team loved them, and they were all eaten by the end of the day. I know the ‘clouds’ were meringue. Maybe […]
For lunch on a recent Monday, I designed my own noodle stir-fry at Noodlebox: thick egg noodles, chicken, broccoli, snow peas, egg, fish cake and tofu (yes, they had tofu this time!), in black bean and chilli sauce. We had afternoon tea that day to celebrate workmate P’s birthday. He brought in this iced pecan […]
A couple of Thursdays ago, I got lunch from Noodlebox (118 Royal St, East Perth) – I designed my own noodle stir-fry. I chose thick egg noodles, chicken, fish cake, egg, tofu, bean sprouts, snow peas and broccoli, cooked in oyster sauce. After I placed my order, I was told they’d run out of tofu […]
It was TS’s birthday on a couple of Wednesdays ago. We’d chipped in for a present and card. For morning tea, TS brought in a magnificent berry flan from Chez Jean Claude Patisserie. For lunch, I grabbed takeaway noodles from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal St, East Perth). I’ve had these dry curry fried […]
This was such an unhealthy lunch! J and I have been craving this dish from Munch Terrace (Shop 6, 230 Hay St, Corner Bennett St East Perth) for sometime. We’d actually gone to Munch in the week after Christmas with a craving for these noodles with crispy fried chicken and were devasted (OK OK, maybe […]
Another recent meal at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie – thanks, Aussie Tourist :)). I had char kway teow from Penang Foods. Jac had a salmon sashimi set from the Japanese stall, which comes with vegetable and prawn tempura, California roll sushi, and salad. Sorry, not many words tonight – I’m very tired. […
