Spring in the Air

I've been experimenting with hokkien noodles this past week. My chicken and mushroom hokkien noodles are vinegar-y, a little spicy and salty.
This is Perth version taogeh mee! Speaking of taogeh mee, I miss Aunty lao deng kolo kway tiaw.


It's still quite cold in Perth, chilly mornings but at least the sun's out! This is our favourite bay in Perth, also called Matilda Bay. It's right opposite UWA so we used to go there for walks and bbqs. Although I now live quite far away from the university, I still visit the bay every now and then. Next time when the whole family visits, we'll organise an Aussie bbq there ok?

Everyone cheer coz the weekend's here! (^________^)

Lunch bentos

This is just to show Ah Ma that her bento boxes haven't gone to waste. Jo and I have been receiving compliments about our cute bento boxes. We really enjoy bringing home cooked food for lunch, much much better than store bought stuff.


I think we bought this bento box in Vivo city? One of those 2 dollar shops that Ah ma loves. You can pop chopsticks and other utensils on the top but I usually just bring plastic forks.


Tang chu spareribs with mixed vege and rice. I drizzled some of the sauce on top of the rice.


This is another bento box from the 2 dollar shop. Microwavable and very handy.


Crispy Nestum chicken with half boiled egg and rice. I love half boiled eggs which are firm yet still runny.


This set should be from Takashimaya, it's good for bigger portioned lunches and comes with chopsticks. The clips at the side are really user friendly too. Jo has the pink set while mine is red.


The bento boxes come with matching bento bags! Jo has the light pink bag and I have a red one. I love the words ' Let's have lunch! It's always a pleasure to eat lunch'.


This is tomorrow's lunch, unagi on a bed of chopped cucumbers with rice. Did you notice the Y(^ ^)Y smiley face that I tried to draw with unagi sauce?

I love bento lunches!!
