My workplace is filled with multi-cultural employees. Me being Chinese and love to eat and cook, quite often lunch time is filled with delicious smells from those who have bought in home cooked meals. The ever inquisitive cook and eater that I am, I am often sticking my face into someone’s lunch box or plate and asking them what they are eating and then asking for the recipe.
Haleem is one I have not come across and am so very glad I did. Continue Reading…
I read about his amazing place in some sort of food review. Being a fan of Japanese food, I am well aware that Perth has a lot of great Japanese places that do not necessarily have to be expensive to be amazing.
Some neighborhood places are lucky enough to have amazing Japanese on their door step without having to venture far nor dress up and pay incredible prices to enjoy a good dose of Japanese fare. Continue Reading…
One lazy day, I was watching one of the food channels and saw Rick Stein’s program on his trip to India. I really like Rick Stein and his travel/cooking shows as I find him to be a down to earth person who likes to embrace the culture and food wherever he travels to.
I derive a lot of my cooking and eating inspirations from chefs who travel to places, eat where the locals eat and then use the local produce to cook whatever is the specialty of the region. That then inspires me to cook what they have cooked as they often cook on the fly, making it look fairly easy. In Rick Stein’s case, it is wherever he lands himself and in some cases, like his Spanish adventures, it’s in his camper van. What a man! What a chef! Just quietly, that would be my dream job, ahhh one powerball! Continue Reading…
Update: Our New Year’s Eve Dinner December 2018
It’s never a difficult decision when deciding to dine at this place or not. When we were aware they were open for New Year’s Eve, the decision was simple, and so we decided an early dinner would be fitting before we participated in further celebratory festivities.
This restaurant did not fail in delivering course after course in deliciousness. The service was delightful, even as the crowd streamed in steadily. We were all reminded of our previous enjoyable dining experience there and left more than happy to continue our New Year’s Eve celebrations. Do try and experience this delightful French eatery if you haven’t already. And if you have, do it again….and again…..Happy New Year to All!We’d ventured to this delightful place a few years ago and enjoyed their degustation offerings. From memory, it wowed us with its delicious servings, lovely atmosphere and we walked out of there really full of wonderful memories of the palate and tummy.
We’ve always wanted to venture back and so it appeared on our radar again so off we went for a Friday after work meal. Mind you, this isn’t an eat and run affair, although they did not drag out each course either. Continue Reading…
We LOVE Spanish food and wine. Especially having ventured to a few cities and towns in Spain, we love its food and wines even more now. We have dined in some fabulous Spanish eateries and restaurants here and in Spain, so no need to say, we are delighted to find this place. Continue Reading…
Again it was due to the lovely gift we’d received from our lovely friend at Christmas, a tray filled with truffled products which consisted of an array of pasta, risotto, oil, glazing sauce and truffled cream paste that has inspired this dish too. This time it was a packet of farfalle pasta which consisted of a mix of plain durum wheat semolina and cuttlefish ink pasta. Since I have created a dish with the risotto, I thought, if it ain’t broke, let’s create a similar dish with Morton Bay Bugs and pasta. Continue Reading…
I once read a definition for synergist, it said “when two molecules are combined, they create a bigger effect”. That’s Stu and I (Jen), two molecules, once combined in 2011, have created a massive effect!
