Greek Food in Boracay?

The Mousaka. I love mashed potatoes on top.

Chicken gyro.

Yep, you can find great Greek food in Boracay. Its almost as going to Greece itself. I kidd... But hey, its not bad. (I had some of the Mexican here. You can pass on that.) We were looking at a dive gear at D'Mall. And yes, its actually called 'D' Mall. In D'Mall there is also D'Restrooms and D'Rock Climbing Wall. I am not kidding. But alas I stray.

We were greeted by an overly buff, think 'D' Rock size ( I am sorry I had to get one more in) but quite charming man and apparent chef of Cyma. Cyma in Greek means 'to flourish.' The service was great. But I found that to be true of all of Boracay. The food here was delicious. We had the gyros and the mousaka. Yummy! Also try Jonah's Juice located in Station 1. Its the best on the whole island and can't be missed.

Ahhh...Its Passionfruit !

If there is one thing I pride myself on, it's my knowledge of fruits. So, it's not often that I am startled when I find something I can't quite identify. Until this weekend in Jakarta of all places. At first glance, it resembled a pomengranate, albeit orange. Texturally its seemed alright. But then I began to crack it open and my fingers just dug into the inner spongy skin. Almost like opening open a rotten orange. And then, the thousand tad pole like seeds came jutting out. I ate a few bites (later I find out you can eat the seeds). It was tart and not all too tasteful.

Its passionfruit! I do think it tastes much better as a drink and mixed with other things. As a stand alone fruit, I have had far more juicer ones. Which reminds me. I better pick up some Kyoho grapes soon.

The passion fruit takes the prize of strangest fruit eaten this weekend.

An Introduction

Since moving to Singapore a year ago from New York City the first thing I realized is the lack of proper 'web guidance' on food in South East Asia. The big Apple has Adam Platt and Robyn Lee, just to name two who have helped me on my journey. Meanwhile since living here the past year, I have not been able to find anyone posting new and exciting blog entries to keep up with my happy appetite. I hope this blog creates discussions on new favourite eats from my readers as well as my perspective on some of the delicious and no so delicious foods that I have come across.
