Update: Week 2 is approaching! You can go and try the wonderful food on offer, plus, a new addition to the food truck section, the famous pastry shop ‘Konstantinidis’! (no relation!) I went to see the Athens Street Food Fest earlier today (20th of May). There was a variety of food stalls there selling burgers,…

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…
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,…
Makan-makan Athens: Eastern Flavours: Part 1
I spent an afternoon recently with Alison from Viv@ellada in downtown Athens, wandering about and trying different food. Alison will have a post about ‘cheap places to eat’ in Athens that I will link up here soon. (Update: Here it is! ‘Had Enough Of Souvlakis?“)I have decided to compile here some of the places that…
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…
Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus: Axarnes
I try to go and catch a play at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus every summer. As part of the Athens & Epidaurus Festival this year, I chose to watch another Aristophanes play (comedies, as compared to Greek tragedies) – titled “The Archanians“. It was widely advertised and it lived up to the hype…
Lady Dinah’s Cat Cafe
Many people know me, know that I love cats. I have been following the prgress of this cafe from the time I read it online. When the place finally opened, I couldn’t wait to get a timeslot booked to see the cats! Having read their website again and again and also keeping tabs on…
Borough Market
I have always heard of this famous Monmouth coffee, and so I thought, why not, let’s try a cup and see what the fuss is all about. Went to Borough Market with my Dad one morning after buying my tickets to see Man and Superman (yay!) and I have to say, it was worth the…
Art: London – Tate Modern, Tate Britain, Victoria & Albert
It was an extraordinary opportunity for me, during this trip, to not visit one, but two exhibitions about the designer Alexander McQueen. I was lucky enough to receive a gift from a friend of my sister – Dorian – of 2 Victoria and Albert Museum Complimentary tickets. This was a sold out show,…
Malaysian Kitchen in London
It was a grand day, slightly overcast and windy, but the sun did come out sporadically and it made the day very festive indeed. It was very nice to meet and congregate with other Malaysians…. Although the main attraction is the food. Imagine Roti Canai, Satay, Kuey Teow Goreng! Heaven on earth! I ate…
