A few weeks ago, Jac and I looked after her niece and nephew on a Friday night – their parents (Jac’s brother B and his wife K – remember our Hamilton Island holiday? :)) were off to Melbourne for the weekend to attend a friend’s 40th birthday celebration. The plan was like this: Jac and […]
This was a kind of naughty junk food bento – a McDonald’s bento, with Chicken McNuggets and a sachet of tomato sauce, and a McDonald’s apple pie for dessert. I also included one of my sweet crunchy salad combos – with mixed greens, grape tomatoes, sliced sweet gherkin pickles, grapes and swiss cheese – the […]
A takeaway work lunch – spinach and ricotta-filled ravioli with tomato meatball sauce, which I guess isn’t a typical pasta and sauce combination. That’s what happens when I get to choose from a bain marie! Well, it was either this sickly looking salmon cream sauce, napolitana sauce or this very appealing looking meatball sauce, an…
Another quick takeaway work lunch, eaten in a hurry: sweet and sour pork, with stir-fried vegetables and fried rice. The pork had a pretty good meat to batter ratio, and quite a nice sweet and sour flavour too. I hate it when sweet and sour pork is mostly batter with barely any meat inside. That […]
A takeaway lunch, eaten in the staff lunch room on a rainy day: teriyaki chicken, vegetables and rice. The chicken had its skin on and was pretty tasty, but there needed to be a lot more teriyaki sauce to soak into the rice. And more vegies would’ve been good too, more green beans especially. Having […]
Another takeaway lunch from the bain marie – sweet and sour chicken with stir-fried vegetables and rice. Very garlicky, just what I like. This time I was pleased with the amount of tofu I was given. I love fried tofu! The chicken dish was… interesting. It was made using some sort of chicken patties – […]
Here’s that delicious chicken kebab with runny egg and garlic sauce I mentioned in my recent chicken kebab post. It smelled absolutely wonderful, and its warmth felt lovely in my hands as I took greedy, garlicky bites. In the kebab: chicken, egg, tomato, lettuce, loads of garlic sauce – and a little salt and pepper. […]
A busy day meant a late takeaway lunch eaten in a hurry – stir-fried vegetables and tofu with mee goreng. Not bad, but I wish they’d given me more tofu.
I think I’ll be eating chicken kebabs every now and then for lunch, because they are just so good. I’ve been resisting the urge to order them with garlic sauce because I know just how powerfully garlicky the sauce is. Without garlic sauce as an option, I order my kebabs with barbecue sauce and mayonnaise. […]
Every time I eat a delicious deep-fried dinner of fish and chips, calamari, prawns and scallops, I wish deep-fried food wasn’t so bad for me. That’s all.
