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…

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,…
Umeboshi Wafu Pasta
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…
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…
Salted Fish and Kale Fried Rice
This combination may sound weird to you, but in Malaysia (and according to the recipe book that Makmah gave me) there is a fried rice recipe where you use salted dried fish (ikan masin) and kailan (which you can read more about here). These 2 ingredients are difficult to find here in Athens, and I…
Egg Fried Rice
I have not posted fried rice recipes for a long time, even though I have Makmah’s Present recipe book to utilise from. I made a roast chicken recipe that had leftovers the other day and I decided to make an egg fried rice recipe (and use the leftover chicken, shredded into small chunks) for…
Honey Lemon Ginger Roast Chicken
Don’t really have a good introduction to this recipe – I just had a few lemons and ginger at home, and I remembered the first time I attempted to make “Lemon Chicken” in university (during the time dinosaurs roamed the earth) and how disastrous it was. Ready made Tesco breaded chicken and lemon juice from…
