Finally, my craving for good Indian food has been satisfied!
One of the best Indian meals I’ve had in Germany so far was in Düsseldorf yesterday. At Anjappar Restaurant. I haven’t tried their restaurants in the Netherlands yet, but next time, I definitely will.

A friend of mine recommended Anjappar after she read my post on my disappointing Indian food experience few days earlier in Germany.

As soon as we arrived at Restaurant Anjappar, I asked if they serve Indian food the way it should be, and they certainly delivered on their promise!
While browsing through the menu, my eyes wanted to order several of my favourite dishes, but my stomach reminded me that it could only handle so much. 😄
In the end, I decided to go for a thali. The manager/owner suggested that I try the fish thali, and I’m so glad I took her recommendation. I loved every bit of it! The only challenge was the quantity—two types of rice along with chapati were a little too much carb for me. I managed to finish only the smaller portion of the spiced rice.

And then, of course, I got greedy and ordered chicken thali to take away as well! 😂
The food was satisfying, the service was excellent, and the restaurant was very clean—including the toilet, which is always a good sign!

All in all, it was a fantastic dining experience and a wonderful way to end my Germany trip.

Germany is a beautiful country, I must say. It’s one of my favourite places to go for a short break—to relax, recharge, and tank up on energy.

Honestly, outside the big cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, etc., I struggle to find food I can eat. In many smaller towns and tourist spots, the menus are dominated by pork, beef, game meat, turkey, and salmon as the main fish option.

Chicken is surprisingly hard to find, except in Asian restaurants when you happen to come across one. And eating out two or three times a day for several days in a row at the same type of restaurants isn’t exactly fun.

So, as much as I love Germany, I always end up looking forward to going back home—not just for the comfort, but for the food! 😄

Do people eat extra salty food in Germany and Switzerland? All the food I tasted here were extremely salty.

And Indian food, extremely disappointing.

P/S: I don't like to waste food but I could only taste salt here, nothing else.

Dilemma : waiters or waitresses who pat and rub the dogs (customers dog), shouldn't they wash their hands first before serving other customers? Don't get me wrong, I love dogs and other animals. But this is for food safety purposes.

Apfelstrudels.

Zah's specialty is Soto Madura, which she prepares for special occasions like Hari Raya and gatherings like this.

The recipe was handed down from her late mother which is the signature dish in their family.

​I have only eaten Soto Madura at Zah's house. In fact, I didn't even know it existed until I met her. It takes a lot of work to prepare, especially all the various condiments that go along with it.

​Have you tried Soto Madura?

Now I can say that I have witnessed the shooting stars of 2026 with my daughter. Three or four of them. But it went so quickly before we could even realise it. And the stars are brighter than ever before. The wonders of God.

My dearest friend Zah hosted lunch today for a few good friends. And Zah is not just a good friend—she is family. My kids adore her too. ❤️

I feel so blessed to have a few good friends here whom I can truly call family. Something that I'm grateful for.

Here you can see Zah making Vietnamese spring rolls with prawns as finger food before serving her famous Soto Madura. And those spring rolls were absolutely delicious—not just because they tasted amazing, but because they were made with so much love and care. 🥰

Thank you, Zahtje. Love you ❤️.

Happy 🐝 in my tiny garden! When we were little kids, we were always told to stay away from bees because they would sting us, so some of us grew up fearing insects. Now, I’m so thrilled to watch them enjoying the nectar from the flowers I planted with so much love—and I can get close to them without any fear at all.

A quick lunch in downtown Rotterdam. Pho… one of the best broths I’ve had, I must say. Every sip felt comforting and satisfying, and I walked out of the restaurant feeling completely nourished.

Truly, food for the soul. A good start of the day.
