Lee Fah Mee Sarawak Laksa – Instant Rice Vermicelli version

Last weekend, I finally managed to get my hands on the highly recommended Lee Fah Mee Instant Rice Vermicelli – Sarawak Laksa Flavour. Sarawak laksa differs from other laksas in the Malaysia and Singapore region in that the broth is belacan (fermented shrimp)-based instead of curry-based. The stock […]

  • Going to Bread In Common is always a huge treat for us, and there’s something to be said for the experience of eating amazing food in a beautiful restaurant. If you’re coming to Perth and want to taste fantastic, shareable Modern Australian cuisine, Bread In Common is the place to go. . . Dishes in order: Courgette with ricotta, squash and tomato dressing (hubby’s favourite dish that meal); squid with green beans, raisin, cumin and pine nuts; kangaroo with cucumber, miso, sesame and horseradish (my favourite dish that meal); duck fat potatoes; deconstructed peaches and cream... and then some shots of the inside.
  • Dinner tonight was prawny and clammy! Prawn head chips (no wastage) on a bed of baby rocket (my first harvest), creamy clams with garlic butter and chilli flakes, and an aglio olio prawn pasta. . . 📷 I bought an Olympus OM-D EM10 Mark ii recently to try and level up my photography game, and I’ve also picked up a cheap light box to play with shooting studio-style stuff at home, hence the recent very staged-looking home-cooking shots. 🥘 I’ve been trying my hand at random food styling with my own cooking, and I’ve learnt a few key lessons on the art of food wayang: 1) Cook early to allow for plenty of time to shoot or suffer a cold and late meal, 2) stuff will get cold, so plan to reheat 3) if food can’t keep and needs to be shot fresh, plan the shot and get it quick. Even so, I still have a long way to go with my food photography, and my cooking. 😝
  • Scratching that pho itch at Viet Hoa. Good food, but they seriously need to deep clean or chuck away that foul smelling carpet.
  • Need ideas for a healthy dinner? Check out my hubby’s roasted tomato and garlic soup. I’m not usually a fan of a liquid meal, but this soup is surprisingly rich and flavourful. And the best thing about it is the ability to turn this dish into chilli mussels with just a few extra ingredients! Recipe link in profile.
