This post has been a few months in the making. I planned to post this in November, but to cut a very long story short – writer’s block. During my last visit to Malaysia, we stumbled upon the wonderful Boat Noodle at Heritage Lane, Damansara where there were beautiful little bowls of noodle soup in…

Moussaka
I had 2 wonderful visitors from Malaysia a few weeks ago. These 2 ladies (Zaza and Maton) are super travellers! They went to Santorini and Meteora, amongst a lot of other places. But a trip to Greece would be incomplete if they didn’t have a chance to taste moussaka. So I decided to make some for…
Alison’s Birthday Pie: Beef in Stout Pie
Happy Birthday Alison! Her birthday was the day before yesterday (18th of August.) I have been itching to bake a pie for a few weeks now since I have been listening non-stop to Sara Bareilles and her ‘Songs from Waitress‘ album. I thought this would be a great opportunity to make a pie (savoury, of…
Beef Bone Soup (Sup Tulang)
There was a sudden cold spell here in Athens recently. Although, cold for me means anything that goes below 10 degrees, and it did fall to about 8 degrees at night. I always crave for a hot bowl of noodle soup whenever it gets cold, and I was lucky to have bought some beef…
Pah’s Rendang Tok
Its been a rainy winter week, and winter time is the best time to cook dishes that takes ages to make – I can be in the kitchen where it is warm, and this rendang is very well suited to cold weather too. With a bowl of pilaf rice or a plate of nasi lemak,…
Beef in Red Wine (Boeuf Bourguignon)
I feel very French-inspired lately, as I was away in Paris the last week of April (and I was in Istanbul the week before that). And you cannot get more Parisienne than Rachel Khoo. Her Little Paris Kitchen cookbook is so cute, and I love it! This is based on both Rachel Khoo and Julia…
Meatball Soup (Giouvarlaki)
I love this soup! It’s quite hearty and refreshing at the same time. Its a great winter warmer dish, but surprisingly it goes down really well during cool summer nights. The egg-lemon sauce makes it fresh-tasting, and the meatballs are juicy and flavourful. The secret to this dish is the egg-lemon sauce (avgolemono). My mother-in-law…
Chilli Con Carne
This dish has a special place in my culinary heart. I first tried this spicy tomato-meat concoction on top of a baked potato (jacket potatoes!) when I was 12 years old – in a small café, in a town called Loughborough, England. It was so exotic to me, to eventually taste this much sung about…
Asian Beef and Noodle Salad
Its summer time now in Greece, and the weather can get extremely hot. But there are times I miss the stir-fried noodles like Mee Mamak, which I would squeeze lime juice all over and mix while its hot. Or Pad Thai, and my Achilles heel of all stir-fries, Char Kuey Teow. It’s too hot (and…
Easy Beef Kokkinisto (Beef in Tomato Stew)
I love kokkinisto (which means ‘reddened’ in Greek). Its so easy to make, extremely tasty and it goes a long way. There is only 2 of us at home and this food always lasts us for 2 days. This stew is usually eaten with a type of pasta rice called kritharaki or hilopites (small squares…
