Last Sunday I caught the train to Thornlie and to have lunch at my favourite food hall, Spencer Village (Spencer Road Shopping Centre, Thornlie) . As I walked across the bridge from the railway station, I could hear talking behind me. I turned around and saw two old Chinese women, two poh pohs, walking together. […]
Last Thursday night, I met Jac after work and we went to Spencer Village for dinner. Jac was in the mood for Japanese. She got herself a set with salmon sashimi, chicken teriyaki, California roll and salad. If it were me eating Japanese, I’d have needed steamed rice too, to eat with the chicken (for […]
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 […]
Jac made a chicken and vegetable (green beans, carrots and broccoli) balti curry last weekend, which she served with mini pappadams. I love this kind of curry sauce, with an oniony and tomatoey base. It’s fragrant and spicy without blowing your head off (though of course if you wanted it super hot you could simply […]
On the ANZAC Day public holiday we grabbed lunch at Spencer Village food hall. It’s great that Spencer Village is open on public holidays. When pretty much everywhere else is shut, you can count on Spencer’s for a good feed. Jac ordered some fresh rice paper rolls (AU$7 for 4 pcs) from the Vietnamese stall […]
Back to my whinge about weekends not being long enough, we ended up spending most of last Saturday shopping. And not even fun shopping, like for DVDs, books, electrical appliances or gadgets (well, that’s fun shopping to me!). It was all groceries and household item (toilet paper, laundry detergent) shopping. Needing some food to give [&helli…
We went to Spencer Village for dinner in our first week back after holidays. Jac’s been in a sashimi place for months and months now, and the trend continues! She ordered a plate of salmon sashimi from the Japanese stall. Even though I’m not a fan of raw fish, I must say I thought this […]
On Wednesday night, Jac whisked me off to Spencer Village for dinner after work. She’s still very much in a sashimi place and had a salmon sashimi set from the Japanese stall, which came with miso: The set included the salmon, sushi, vegetable tempura and salad. There was a rather large knob of wasabi next […]
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 […]
On Wednesday evening we met up with C and her mate P for dinner at Spencer Village. I’d been craving char kway teow and ordered it from Penang Cuisine. As soon as the dish arrived, I could see it wasn’t going to be as good as it usually was. For one thing, it wasn’t dark […]
