A Greek Catchup

Pen and I met up with Nick and Jess yesterday evening at West End for a catchup over dinner. We picked Kafe Meze, a little eatery tucked away at a corner street, for some authentic Greek cuisine. The set-up of the place wasn’t impressive – at a glance, you might even mistake it for one of those old coffee shops in Malaysia selling Ipoh Hor Fun or Teh Tarik. But the food, oh man, was good, very good.

We were overwhelmed with the Greek words on the menu and wasn’t sure which dish to pick in order to savour the true taste of a Greek meal. So in the end we ordered an eight course meal for all four of us! It was $33 per person and we were treated to pita breads with an array of dips, a vegetarian platter with grilled mushrooms, eggplants, beans and vegetables, Souvlaki (lamb, chicken and pork skewers), Greek salad, to-die-for pan fried goat cheese, a giant mushroom, a pork sausage (can’t remember what it’s called) and a BBQ squid. Every single dish had its own unique and rich flavour. My favourite was the goat cheese. :p

The total bill is a bit pricey (would have been worse if we didn’t have our entertainment book voucher) but good food and company made up for it.

Here are some pictures taken with my new Canon Ixus 75. (Thank you Pen!)

Vegetarian platter - May not look too appetising here, but it really is yummy!

BBQ squid which I couldn't eat much of due to my allergic reaction to Aussie seafood
