On the night we got the keys, we spent some time just walking around in the empty house, excited and amazed that this was really going to be our new home. We made plans – things to do leading up to the move – and lists of things we needed to get for the house. […]
On one of our busy nights, Jac grabbed me a takeaway dinner from Spencer Village International Food Hall (200 Spencer Road, Thornlie) – hainanese chicken rice from Penang Cuisine. Regular readers will know I prefer to eat takeaway meals on “real” plates rather than straight out of the plastic containers they come in. So here [&hel…
Chee cheong fun has got to be one of my favourite noodle dishes. It’s steamed soft rice flour noodles. We buy these from Fook Kee at Spencer Village International Food Hall, 200 Spencer Road, Thornlie. Fook Kee serves the chee cheong fun rolled up and chopped into segments, served with a sweet thick sauce and […]
LunchWhen I have a hainan chicken rice craving, I usually have Penang Cuisine’s chicken rice. On this occasion I decided to give the Straits Cuisine stall’s hainan chicken rice a go. The verdict? Not bad at all! The rice wasn’t as garlicky as Penang Cuisine’s (I love really garlicky chicken rice!), but it had a […]
A recent feed at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie)… I bought a packet of nasi lemak from Sarindo – I chose the fried fish version (you can choose between fish and chicken). As well as a piece of tumeric-flavoured fried fish, you get fried egg, three slices of fancy cut cucumber, ikan bilis […]
On the Friday night Jac flew out to NSW (that’s two Fridays ago), we had dinner at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie). I’m always happy to eat at Spencer’s, but I was especially pleased – I could grab some extra food takeaway to eat on the weekend, saving me time cooking. Jac wanted […]
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. […
At Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) recently, Jac had a teriyaki fish salad from the Japanese stall. It’s very nice, but a very small meal indeed. I knew she’d need something else… I had been craving chee cheong fun (fresh rice flour roll) and yong tow foo (stuffed beancurd and vegetables) from Fook [&helli…
At a recent lunch at Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) Jac was hoping to get fresh rice paper rolls from the Vietnamese stall, but they were still closed for the holidays. Her next choice was a teriyaki fish salad from the Japanese stall, but it was 11:30am when we got there, and they […]
I had to attend a Christmas function after work a couple of Friday nights ago. While I was at the function, Jac ran a few errands and grabbed food from Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie). This is what she bought for me – hainan chicken rice from Penang Cuisine. I ate it the […]
