Crispy chicken noodles dry style

Can you see the layer of fat (white fat, not the skin, which of course is golden-brown fat) in a couple of those pieces of chicken? This dish isn’t on the menu. If you want to order it, ask for “crispy chicken noodles, dry style”. It’ll cost you AU$7.80 or thereabouts.

Nile perch and salad

Jac panfried Nile perch fillets and served them with salad…The Nile perch filets were actually quite large, and Jac had cut them in half, cooking two pieces simply seasoned with lemon pepper for our dinner, and the other two pieces rubbed with all seasoning for our bento. I packed us fish, salad and fruit for lunch.

Poached eggs, bacon and toast with butter

Last Friday morning, I met up with my friend Chad and had breakfast at 44 King St in Perth. I haven’t been there for years – I think the last time I went to 44 King St, I was in my early twenties.
