This is a very simple dish to make. I managed to cobble this together, after a busy day (and after the gym, mind you!) with what I had in the fridge. I wanted something flavourful yet easy to make, and salty, to go with the Herb Rice (Nasi Ulam-inspired rice dish) that I made to…

Makan-makan Ayin: Kuala Lumpur 2016 Edition
*The featured picture you see is a display of several Octopodes (plural of Octopus, who knew?) that I saw at the buffet area of the restaurant Contango, at The Majestic Hotel Kuala Lumpur. I am back! After a wonderful 2 weeks away, I am here to show you a compilation of a few pictures of…
Gigantes (Giant Baked Beans)
I have recently started a healthier diet, in combination with a new gym membership (my poor muscles). Pulses and legumes are a good source of protein, and the Greeks have a variety of baked dishes that are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Healthy and yummy, this dish is great warm and cold, as a main…
Cheese Scones
I have returned! And I got a wonderful gift from my mother – cheese from Holland. It’s Gouda, it’s called boerenkaas or farmer’s cheese – a protected form of Gouda made in the traditional way, using unpasteurized milk. She got me 2 types, one is young and light (pictured above!) and the other is quite matured,…

Umeboshi – pickled japanese plums. View this post on Instagram Umeboshi #asianfoodhaul #nakmasakapa #pickledplums #japanese A post shared by Airinie H Azhar (@airinie) on Apr 9, 2016 at 3:19am PDT Encountered it for the first time in an anime called “Fruits Basket“. Long story short, the main character of the anime, Tohru, was making…
Ondeh-Ondeh (Buah Melaka)
I very rarely make Malaysian local sweets at home, just simple ones like sago (tapioca) with gula melaka syrup, or bananas in coconut milk with gula melaka (pengat pisang it’s called. I will post about it soon.) I had a few tsps of the pandan extract left, and I thought, why not make something that…
Creamy Prawn Curry
It was a long Greek Orthodox weekend here in Greece, and I had a sudden craving for curry. About a week before, I went to Mirch with a friend and had a very spicy Chicken Vindaloo. I do miss curries, and I don’t make them as often as I would love to. And if…
Makan-makan Athens: Falafel Wars
Food fads come and go, but there is one food ‘trend’ that has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of many Greeks and foreigners here living in Athens; and it is here to stay: falafels. I encountered Falafellas a few years ago and you can see why I said that it is here to stay. There…
Spices: Garam Masala Mix
I recently went to Mirch again, and had their extremely spicy (yet yummy!) Chicken Vindaloo. And I noticed that I have yet to post a proper curry recipe, and so I thought that I would do that during the long Greek Orthodox Easter weekend. Alas, I ran out of garam masala, and I decided to make my…
Simple Chocolate Brownies
I have posted about brownies before on this blog – they were a very rich, gooey and super-chocolatey Double Fudge Chocolate Oreo Brownies. But my recent trip to Lidl (where I bought waffle moulds to make this Waffles recipe) had me buying these silicone brownie moulds. I cannot make the super gooey oreo brownies in…
Zampano’s Sunday Brunch
Last Sunday, I spent a part of the day spending time with Alison walking around Athens as part of the OpenAthensWalk which was exciting. We were together with Omaira and her 2 boys for most of the walk. But at around 3pm we met up with Eliza at Zampano’s for brunch (or to be more exact,…
Greek Yoghurt Waffles
Last Sunday, I went to Zampano’s or brunch with Alison and Eliza. You can read more about it here. But it has also gotten me thinking about making my own waffles. I have never made them – always had them in eating establishments or even frozen ones, but I have never made batter and cooked…
