It was a big family weekend last weekend – on Sunday we got together again to celebrate my dad’s birthday with a satay lunch. Jac’s and my contribution to the meal were two fruit platters. We cut the fruit up and arranged the platters on Sunday morning, just before we left for my folks’ place. […]
Here’s some food from Carousel Shopping Centre food hall we enjoyed a couple of Saturdays ago. We started with spring rolls and a skewer of chicken satay with peanut sauce. It wasn’t really authentic-tasting satay – it was just fried chicken on a stick, but very succulent and pretty tasty. The previous week, we’d seen [&hell…
Last Friday night, Jac and I went to Spencer Village (on Spencer Road, Thornlie, adjacent to Thornlie HJs and KFC, opposite the Thornlie Train Station) for dinner. We started with a shared large curry combination. Vegetables cooked in a lightly spiced coconut milk gravy (along the lines of sayur lodeh), chicken curry, lamb curry and […]
We went to the Save the Children Book Sale in South Perth yesterday morning. Jac was rather pleased – she scored loads of cook books for $68 – most books were 50 cents or $1, a few *special* ones for $2 – $3. I didn’t make any thrilling finds for myself, but in the $11 […]
We were supposed to attend a barbecue at our friends Lou and Dan’s place yesterday at 3PM, but when we got home from the shops around lunch time I felt like crap and didn’t think I’d be up to any kind of socialising. Jac suggested I have a sleep and see how I felt. At […]

Tuesday: Han’s stir fried noodle [sic] from Han’s Cafe – egg noodles stir fried with BBQ pork and seafood (fish cake, squid and prawns). I used to eat this dish all the time at one of the Han’s Hay St cafes when I worked in the city years ago. The Subiaco Han’s version of this […]
Heheheh, okay so perhaps it wasn’t really an extravaganza, but I thought that would be a cool title for this post. Last night, we went out for dinner at our favourite asian food hall with my Mum and Dad, my sister Juji and her boyfriend and my brother. My brother’s wife (my sister-in-law) wasn’t there […]
Last night Jac, our house guest VR and I went to my folks’ place for Satay Night. There were about twenty or so hungry people in attendance, including my siblings and their partners, my grandma, my brother’s mum-in-law, friends of my parents who are visiting from Malaysia and staying with them, and friends of my […]
