LOL, used to grill halloumi over an open camp fire at Cyprus Scouts. Phenomenal :)

It’s a good thing I’m having some toasted cheese on toast right now, or I’d die of envy! As it is, your post only made me sick with envy. ;-) Mati used to serve saganaki, too bad it has closed. Cyma has a flaming saganaki that’s quite yummy, though not truly authentic. The waitstaff shout “Opa!” when they serve it. It’s an annoying gimmick, but I’ll tolerate it for the cheese’s sake.

Fried halloumi cheese is definitely my favorite!!!!! Of course, I also like raclette.

I trust that Maria Clara is campaigning for Obama and if sheâ€™s not she better not let me know or I shall never talk to her ever again though I can tolerate Silly Lolo campaigning for McLolo.

My haloumi cheese has been waiting. Thanks for the recipe. I love kesong puti. The one sold in Magallanes is very good fried in an itsy bitsy olive oil.

The first time I’ve tried fried cheese with lime, it was with a group of co-workers, one of the guys squeezed lime on his fried cheese. We all thought that was weird, before hand I’ve only tried lemon, but did I like it much, much better than the ketchup and mayonnaise the other girl whipped up anyway. *laughs*
Now that I think about it, I think I’m just your lime kind of girl. Like I prefer lime slices in my water, limeade instead of lemonade, lime on my calamaris, key lime pie than lemon pie. LOL.
I didn’t even think about dayap, the flavor would definitely be intense. Yummm.

connie, in Athens, ours came with a green citrus, which at first I assumed to be a lime. But when you squeezed it and tasted the juice, it was a green lemon, not a lime. I can see how this would be brilliant with a dayap, closer to a western lime, but it did work well with a yellow lemon as well…

The adding of sesame seeds is very inspired. Between lemon and lime, I do prefer lime anytime on my fried cheese. I will be one of them picky eaters in a restaurant asking for limes if my fried cheese were served with lemons.
