Maimana Naan & Kabab Restaurant in Ajax - A New Gem

I came across Maimana Naan & Kabab Restaurant in Ajax quite accidentally, as I was returning from a haircut in the same mall in Ajax. It was a new joint, and such new restaurants in Ajax need to be explored.
Since then, I have been there twice. I have had their Chicken Tandoori Kabab and Mixed Grill Kabab.
It is kind of a fast-food place, with a simple, but rich set of meals. The interior is also simple but clean and decent.

Bacalao-Style Fish Stew

I accidentally turned into PBS's New Scandinavian Cooking where Andreas Viestad was making Bacalao Stew.

I was enamoured by the concept, and amazed that this stew, with its chilli component, could fit in as a Norwegian dish.

I did some research and found out more about the stew, and decided to make my own.

Tatemono Sushi Bar - Decent Food

I had been wanting to visit Tatemono Sushi Bar and Restaurant for a while. There used to be a Greek restaurant at that spot which I had visited (see review).

And finally I had the chance to visit it for lunch.

The interior is neat with a fusion of western and Asian design. It was crowded.

Spaetzle/Nockerln with Goulash

Spaetzle/Nockerln is one of my favourite dishes. I love it with a good plate of goulash. In Austria it is generally called nockerln though there might a slight difference between the two. 

Over the weekend I had made goulash and today I decided it was time to make spaetzle. I have some experience in Austrian cooking, so the last time I made spaetzle I went from my memory.

This time, however, I decided to check out a recipe but, as usual, I changed it slightly.
