We had dinner at Spencer Village in Thornlie on Wednesday evening. Jac had rice paper rolls (a serve of four big rolls for AU$6.00) from the Vietnamese stall. There was prawn (which you can clearly see in the photo) and sliced roast pork in them, as well as the usual things – vermicelli, mint, coriander […]
Monday: Jac made chicken burgers. Panfried chicken thigh filets, lettuce, tomato and mushrooms in toasted focaccia. As you can see, she went heavy on the lettuce. Hahahaaa. P.S. I do like eating lettuce stems. Tuesday: My day off. The cats and I fell asleep in the late afternoon, snuggled together and all toasty on the […]
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 […]
Belated text to go with the pictures: This was a very basic cheese and mustard on toast. The cheese was Farmers Union Old Bitey (just the name makes me want to eat it! It is yuuuuuummy cheese!) and we used Australian mustard to add a little more bitey-ness. But just the cheese on its own […]
Yay! Fook Kee at Spencer Village is up and running again! People really missed Fook Kee – I could tell by the queues today, on the first weekend since they returned from their holiday. All around us, people were tucking into Fook Kee specialties: char tau kway, tau foo goreng, loh bak, and even pork […]
Last weekend, we had lunch at our favourite food hall. Jac had a serve of Vietnamese rice paper rolls, filled with chicken, prawns, lettuce and noodles. They came with a bowl of dipping sauce topped with fried shallots and crushed peanuts. For some reason, the stripy, segmenty prawns showing through the rice paper grossed me […]
I’m not going into details at present, but it’s been a challenging week juggling thesis, job applications, Jac’s gall bladder* and my grandma back in hospital. Next week will be even more challenging, but I can’t go into details right now. Last Thursday night, we had another grilled fish and salad meal. Here’s the big …
I had a very productive day working on the thesis at uni today and have decided to celebrate by blogging this evening – wooohoo! VR is cooking dinner and it should be ready soon – wooohoo! On Wednesday evening Jac and I went out to dinner at Spencer Village. We’ve been just so busy lately […]
I’ve been watching Season 1 of Beverly Hills 90210 on dvd today. I used to love this show, and today I realised I still do. It’s kind of embarrassing for me to admit, but I like Jason Priestley’s hair. Yeah, really. Let us now move onto the food. On Thursday night I had a large […]
Last night’s dinner was takeaway from Spencer Village, YAY! I’d already given Jac my requests in the morning. I asked for two things, from our favourite stall which is called Fook Kee. First, yong tau foo. Here it is, in its silver takeaway container, before I added extra hoisin sauce: As usual, I had to […]
