Greek Food - Part 2

Greek Spinach Pie

Tasted little bit like white sauce lasagna. The overdose of parmesan and cheddar cheese in the pie have covered the taste of vegetable. Greek salad was good though. Lettuce used are fresh and the lemon dressing just blend well. 5 euro for this dish. Spinach pie can be found commonly at any Greek restaurant.

Pecan Cake

One of my favourite Greek dessert. You can taste the strong pecan smell when the pecan cake melted in your mouth. 50 cents euro for a slice. 

Ancient Greek Market

Look at how cute is this toy set

They have different cartoon characters too

The masks look kinda scary 

You can find myriad type of herbs in the market. Very cheap though. 1 euro per pack.

If the Mediterranean weather is a bit warm for you, its good to reward yourself with some ice cream. The Pistachio nut ice cream that i have is really good !!! 

This is how fresh Olive look like. 

Off Syntagma Square. Good place to shop for souvenirs. Remember to bargain.

Some other landmarks in Athens

                                Stay tune for more about Greece. I will post about Santorini soon.

Greek Food - Part 1

This post written by Andrew's elder brother called Alan Chong. Here comes the Greek food and some sightseeing at Athens, Greece! 

Greek Kebab

Way better than typical Turkish kebab than we can find in Malaysia or anywhere at Western Europe. Affordable price  (1.50 euro to 2.00 euro depending on location). A typical Turkish kebab cost 4 to 6 euro at Paris, London, Barcelona and Amsterdam. There are selection of meats ranging from pork to chicken, topped with onions, sour cream, crispy potato chips and chilli powder. Kebab is a very common street food in Greece. Most backpackers eat kebab to keep their stomach full while trying to save some money. 

Mashed Potato in Greek Style

Is also known as Fava in Greek. Another common dishes in Greece. The mashed potato is creamy and smooth. Topped with spring onion. The Cooked olive oil just blend so well with the mashed potato. 

At Zeus Temple. Another highlight at Athens

View from top of Acropolis. It remind me of the hill and residential area in Doraemon series. 

The first Olympic stadium in the world. 

Roasted pork served with bread. It cost just 1 euro.

At Parthenon

Greece flag flying high. 

Olive Tree

Different type of olive. Olive is a day to day food for the Greek. 

The Greek Parliament.

Look at the furry shoe that the guard is wearing   XD
