Pancake Day/Shrove Tuesday is in 9 days time, and since I have made quite a few pancake recipes, I thought maybe I’d try making fillings that can be eaten with pancakes and crepes. I stumbled upon a recipe of this hazelnut spread called gianduja and it was so rich-looking in ingredients – cream, butter… I wanted something…

Holiday Season in Athens
This holiday season was a blast! My sister came on Christmas Day, and we went up North to the mountain cabin to spend a few days there. We expected cold weather, but what we got was a very warm autumn. It got cold as we left the North to return to Athens, and it got…
Pandan Pancakes with Syrup
Halloween is here! Halloween has never been a holiday that I celebrated growing up, and Greece (and the Greek people) have their own version of fancy dress day – the Carnival, which happens usually a few weeks before (Greek) Orthodox Easter. I made a Witch’s Hat for Katiki and I decided to dress up as…
Trip to the North
Autumn should be upon us, but I am still wearing my summer dresses and it has been exceptionally warm still. We decided to make a trip up north to Thessaloniki this year, and spent a few days up in the mountains of Chalkidiki in the family cabin. It was a wonderful! We went hiking, and…
Mango Salsa
Salsa is something I love to make with leftover tomatoes that I find in the fridge. The other is tabbouleh. It is a very refreshing and summery side dish that you can serve with grilled fish or chicken. Or with nachos. You can add more chillies if you like it spicier. The coriander makes…
Preserved Lemon Mayonnaise
I love preserved lemons! I find that not a lot of people like it, but it gives the lemon/citrus flavour to a dish without the tangy sourness that you get with fresh lemons. You can make this from scratch – make mayonnaise from scratch – or you can use store bought mayonnaise and add…
Sweet Potato Fries
I do like to ‘roast’ potatoes in the oven (oven-fry?). It’s a healthier version that actually frying them in oil, and I like the crunchy texture that you get when you bite into the potato. I have made a version of this with green bananas, and sweet potatoes cook faster than usual. The day…
Teriyaki Roast Chicken
In Kuala Lumpur, there is a supermarket called Isetan in KLCC (the mall underneath the Twin Towers) and they used to have a wonderful rotisserie. You could buy roast chicken marinated in wonderful flavours – lemony, spicy, but my favourite has always been the Teriyaki Chicken. We would have it with a side of salad…
Teriyaki Sauce
I had some ginger left over one day after making some ginger syrup for a friend who fell ill, and I was torn between making some spring onion and ginger soy sauce, or make something I have never made before. I very rarely eat teriyaki-based food when I go out to Asian cuisine restaurants, because I…
Chocolate Fudge Cupcakes
Now who doesn’t love chocolate? This is one of the first few recipes that I started making when I moved here to Athens. This recipe has evolved a lot since then, and this is the version that I love best. This is my go-to cupcake recipe when there is a party that I want to…
Green Tea Matcha Chocolates
You know how much I love Matcha Green Tea if you’ve followed my recipes all these years. When I went back to Malaysia last, I bought these wonderful dark chocolates that was infused with matcha green tea and it was so tasty! I have tried to make dark chocolate truffles with matcha but it…
Food Journey of London
It has been a whirlwind few weeks! I love travelling, and I am so happy that I was able to visit my sister in London and Prague! To keep in line with the food theme of my blog, I am going to compile pictures of some of the food that I have eaten on this…
