Tuna in chilli oil with bow pasta and green beans

This was my favourite dinner of the week. Jac cooked up a pot of bow pasta (farfalle). I blanched some chopped green beans, then opened a can of Sirena tuna slices with chilli and oil. I love canned tuna slices – I find it more meaty, satisfying and pleasurable to eat than chunk style or […]

But looking at this, I still wanted to bite into it and taste that flame-grilled beef and gooey melted cheese… …right after I lifted the lid to show you the burger innards. The fries were […]

Lunch and lemon cupcake

For lunch last Monday, J and I went to 88 Royal lunch bar (88a Royal St, East Perth). She’d tried the tuna patties and salad plate for the very first time while I was on leave, and now she is hooked! I had a rissoles and salad plate. J swapped me one of her tuna […]

Weekend food – a very good noodle dish and Japanese for later

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.
