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…
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…
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…
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…
Eliza’s Lavender Gems
Eliza is a darling friend of mine – we have similar tastes (in clothes, men and food, too!) and I decided to create these little meringue ‘gems’ for her about a year ago. I based them on a recipe I saw on TV by Hope and Greenwood (Sweets Made Simple), but I decided to…
