Hot & Spicy Instant Noodles
I love the flavour of these noodles! I can only buy them from the local Coles supermarket so whenever I'm there I buy a few and store some at home and some in my locker at work. In fact, my locker at work is my emergency stash of food for those days I'm not organised enough to bring lunch or dinner. There's no room to put my bag in there - it's like my pantry at work.
After work I went to Lisa's place and since dinner was still a few hours away, she made me a snack.

Lisa sliced the cheese really thin and toasted them under the grill. They were absolutely divine! A fantastic snack to go with the bottle of red I brought.
147 James Street, Guildford
I joined the staff from the haematology department at the Osborne Park lab for dinner tonight. The cuisine - Thai.
The place was cosy and warm and the staff greeted us warmly. I loved the design of the menus - they were enclosed in hardcover cases covered in fabric. The lighting was dim but not so dim that we couldn't see each other. I loved how our table was situated in the corner and although there were two large entrances, we still felt like we were in our own private and intimate setting. We also had a heater that was disguised as a fireplace behind us - or at least I think the warm air was coming from the fireplace...
We all agreed on the banquet set menu. This included:
Spring Rolls
Golden Bags
Curry Puffs
Satay Chicken
Main Course
Green Curry Prawns
Massaman Curry Beef
Chicken Cashew Nut Stirfry
Mixed Vegetables Sitrfry
Pad Thai Chicken
Steamed Rice
Outside the weather was dark, cold and wet with rain so we warmed ourselves up with wine. We started off with a delicious bottle of bubbly.
The mains were brought out as soon as we had finished the mains. Our steamed rice was served to us by the wait staff, which was a nice touch.
I was trying to take photos quickly before everyone got stuck into the food so didn't have time to check how they turned out before putting my camera away. As it was, these were a bit out of focus.
The food was great - although somewhat rather ordinary. There wasn't really a standout dish. They were all prepared really well and with fresh ingredients, but there wasn't much depth to the flavours besides sweetness. We asked for one of the green prawn curries to be medium heat but there was no heat at all. I'd go again with friends for a casual dinner since the service was attentive and friendly, but not for the food being memorable.
