#haloumi cheese

Recently I went on a two week trip to Barcelona and Paris with my mom and we had a scrumptious brunch in Paris at a place I’ve been following on Instagram for over a year. Holybelly 5 is located in the 10th arrondissement, a short walk from Canal St. Martin and they’re a breakfast and brunch spot.

The glass fronted vestibule has a merchandise display with their mugs, their signature Mothersauce,…

After six weeks of travelling, it takes a while to adjust to the rhythm of cooking your own meals, let alone all those other tedious tasks, such as bed making and house cleaning. Where are those fairies who come and clean up? Home cooking routines return more quickly; after all, we do need to eat at least twice a day. After purchasing one packet of inedible bread, the sourdough starter was…

“I’d really like Haloumi for dinner.” I said as I went out the door. There was some in the fridge.  Haloumi is a wonderful thing. It’s cheese that can be grilled. It doesn’t melt it gust goes brown.  It’s one of my favourite things.  But then the resident chef (/beekeeper/gardener/handyman) dies something magical.  There was a box of gluten free couscous in the cupboard.  He took the following:…

1 nuked egg w/ Greek style yoghurt (2 heaped tbsp), cumin, paprika, chili powder and turmeric, w/ a slice of fried haloumi cheese

Santouka Ramen: noodle-less Shio ramen soup w/ spring onion, black fungus, bamboo shoots, and a marinated soft-boiled egg

First time trying haloumi and I didn't pat it dry before cooking; is that why it's this salty? Still good, though.

At dinner eating Haloumi cheese

Me: I like haloumi but it tastes really salty when you eat in restaurants, I wonder why?

My brother: Yeah, it's weird. Maybe they buy a different brand of haloumi or maybe they keep it in the freezer

Everyone at table stres at him because really how does freezing it effect the saltiness and why would they even freeze it in the first place?

My Brother: Coffee makes you thirsty

Me: So many things wrong with that statement but let's start with why?
