A photo of a sesame bagel sitting in a cardboard takeaway container with some cheese and sauce visible through the hole. It's hard to see in the photo but the piece of chorizo was nearly as large as the bagel and probably would have been close to a centimetre thick.

Today is the last day in the office, finished it off with a chorizo, cheese, and pickle bagel from the A.P. Bakery that opened up right around the corner from the office, and hot damn was it good. I got a croissant to have with my coffee and that was delicious as well.

A photo of the spiced halloumi pizza, which is actually Turkish pide with a tomato sauce inside it and strips of halloumi and what I think was sun-dried tomato.

A photo of triangular stand in the middle of the table, with three levels and little nibbly desert things on it. There's some Turkish delight, some pastry thing, a couple of little bits of cheese cake, and a piece of chocolate something or other that I had and was delicious.

Nothing exciting to report food-wise yesterday, but today's paid-for-by-work food was dinner at Meccah Bah at Darling Harbour (https://meccabah.sydney/functions-and-events/). Because there were 39 of us all up (!) we did the $79 set menu. The starters were the bread and trio of tips, falafels, lamb sigara boureks, and North African meatballs, we could choose which main we wanted (I got the spiced halloumi pizza) and then we got a selection of desserts to share. The whole meal was absolutely incredible and I am stuffed to the gills right now. I also had my first margarita because several people expressed surprised that I'd not had one before. It was... fine, but definitely reinforced my stance of not paying for cocktails if I'm paying for it because MAN are they not worth it. 😛

Tonight with the 16 year-old we made Nagi's satay chicken stir fry (https://www.recipetineats.com/chinese-satay-chicken-stir-fry/) and it was DELICIOUS, highly recommended. Then we watched The Lego Movie because the subject came up and I said I'd never seen it before and got a "Whaaaat?!" reaction and oh man is that a fun movie. 😂 Lando and C3PO from the original Star Wars trilogy were in it for approximately 30 seconds and they still managed to get the actual original actors to do the voices for them!

A photo of a big lazy susan with all sorts of delicious Chinese food on it: dumplings, pork buns, noodles, chicken feet, etc. (I did not have any of the chicken feet.)

Day two lunch: work-paid-for yum cha. In related news, I am VERY full right now.

A photo of a bowl of laksa in a white takeaway food bowl. The broth is thick and rich and it's got slices of barbecue pork sitting atop the noodles.

First lunch of the office week: laksa. 😎

A wide-angle shot of the interior of an art deco restaurant. The ceilings are really high and there's massive green marble pillars.

A photo of a wagyu shin ragu with pasta. It was seriously incredible.

A photo of a chocolate marquise with cream on top like it's a little shallow cup, and whiskey caramel pooled inside the cream. Next to it is some chocolate sorbet.

Today we had the day off work for @yayKM's birthday and went to Rockpool in the city for lunch. Such a cool location, it's an old art-deco building, and the food was AMAZING! Top-notch service too.

A top-down photo of nine individual Tupperware containers sitting on a white kitchen benchtop. The Persian seasoning has turmeric in it so the rice is VERY yellow.

Aww yeah, that's my workday lunches sorted for the next like two weeks. 😎 Medium grain rice, lentils, kale, corn, onion, garlic, and Persian spice mix. I have it with a healthy couple of dollops of Greek yoghurt and Mrs H.S. Balls chutney (yes, that's really the brand name, it's from South Africa). 👌🏻

A photo of a white rectangular casserole dish with tuna mornay in it The top is covered in Panko breadcrumbs that have gone all golden and crispy and it looks amazing. (And it tasted amazing too.)

Awww yissss, made Nagi's tuna mornay (https://www.recipetineats.com/tuna-mornay-casserole-pasta-bake/) with the sixteen year-old and it was GOOOOOOOOD. I really need to look up how to make white sauce without it taking an eternity though, because jesus christ it was seriously half an hour of non-stop stirring and we ended up cheating and putting corn starch in anyway.

A photo of a bowl of ramen with a slice of pork in it, and half a boiled egg sitting on top.

I WAS going to go home after I'd finished work, but then some people said they were going to Ramen Zundo and I couldn't say no to that.

A wide-angle photo of a bunch of mostly empty bowls and plates from a Chinese restaurant sitting on a table.

I'm in the office for a team lunch today, we went to Mr. Wong's on Bridge Lane in the CBD and holy crap it was amazing! I am SO FULL. No regrets.
