Happy new year, everyone!

31 December 2008

On new year’s eve last year, I was on holidays with Jac. In the morning, we were in Newcastle, where I tasted a curry tiger pie from Harry’s Cafe de Wheels for the first time. This is one of my favourite images and memories from my 2008 posts (click on the photo if you’d like ...

Monday bento – sandwiches

31 December 2008

I said I didn’t have any plans for new year’s eve/day, but actually I do have a plan – to stay home, relax and blog! Christmas has thrown my postings a little out of whack. The next few posts were drafted up pre-Christmas. This one’s my bento lunch from the 22nd of December.

My aioli has a face

30 December 2008

This is what we assembled for dinner a couple of Wednesdays ago, too lazy to cook – oven-fried chicken nuggets and salad (mixed greens, cucumber, baby roma tomato, mushrooms and corn kernels), with tomato sauce and aioli for dipping. I think the aioli looks very “man in the moon”-ish, what do you think?

I’ve been ...

Lunch at Mai's with Cellobella

29 December 2008

I recently had lunch with Cellobella at Mai’s Vietnamese restaurant (51 Bennett St, East Perth).

To start, we shared a serve of vegetable spring rolls. They arrived piping hot and crisp. It was a good thing the waiter brought along side plates for us to eat them with – they were much to hot to ...

Tuesday work food – Japanese takeaway

29 December 2008

Here’s a lunch from a few Tuesdays ago – it seems such a long time ago! J and I got takeaway from Jaws Mint (opposite the Perth Mint).

J got herself a 4-pack of sushi and chicken karaage with a little tub of mayo for dipping.

The 4-pack consisted of 4 different varieties of sushi – ...

Delicious Christmas gifts and leftovers

29 December 2008

I love giving gifts at Christmas. Obviously, for retail outlets, it’s the prime time of year to make lots of sales, but I don’t see gift-giving at Christmas as getting “sucked into commercialism”. For me, it’s an excuse to spoil people I care about, to make a fuss over them and bring a smile to ...

Christmas 2008 – lunch

28 December 2008

We had a late lunch with Jac’s family on Christmas day. It was close to 2pm by the time we sat down to eat, and I was ready again for another big meal.
The theme of the day was meat – lots and lots of meat – vegetarians, this is your warning of what’s ahead! ...

Christmas 2008 – breakfast

27 December 2008

This year for Christmas, my family got together for breakfast at my parents’ home. We made breakfast very early – Jac and I got there by 7:30am – because all of us “kids” were having lunch with our partners’ families that day.

My sister CW put together this lovely fruit platter, with plums, peaches, nectarines, ...

Merry Christmas, everyone!

24 December 2008

It’s Christmas eve. I have to go to work today, and then have the next four days off (Christmas, Boxing Day, weekend).
Most of the food outlets I normally grab lunch from are closed for the festive season, so for lunch today, I’ve packed leftovers – turkey minchee*, rice, a KFC Original Recipe drumstick, KFC coleslaw ...
