If you like Disneyland and themed-cafes; and/or sugar and chocolate-laden desserts, this is the place! I first came here with another Malaysian-to-Athens-transplant, Priscilla. This café (and now a pastry shop too!) is located in Nea Filadelfia, a suburb of Athens and is easily accessible by public transportation. I love this area, it has a lot…

Makan-makan Athens: Pink Flamingo
I was told about this place by my friends Alison and Alexia, and with interest piqued, I decided to drop by recently. I mean, DIM SUM in ATHENS!!! It was a very hot day, and the refreshing pink grapefruit soda was a godsend. As you can you see with the decor – it is…
Ai Weiwei at The Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens
I recently went to the Cycladic Art Museum here in Athens with my good friend Eliza. The exhibition we went to see is close to my heart – 10% of the proceeds goes to METAdrasi – an NGO I have been volunteering with for the past year, and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF – Doctors Without Borders)….
Update: Athens Street Food Festival, 20-22 & 27-29 May.
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,…

Happy Birthday!
It was my birthday a few days ago! I went to a bar called A for Athens for birthday drinks, and I went for a hike-picnic too. Here are some pictures from my celebration. That is me blowing the candle on my birthday cake, while I was at A for Athens. It’s a great…
Bedrooms
I have read about this installation last year, as it was first presented at the 13th Venice Architecture Biennale. What a surprise for me to find that I can actually see it now, as it is brought back home in Athens. It is presented at metamatic:taf in the city centre (Monastiraki). The venue was very unique…
Open Walk Athens
One hot day in May, I went to the city centre on Sunday, to spend some time with my friend Lydia. And we did this walk to see all the participating stores and producers – craftsmen and artists. It was illuminating! It was very interesting, and you can see a lot of the historical centre…
