There's not a lot of Greek food in Singapore, so when I saw this interesting pastry, I had to try it. But first, I need to emphasise that I really did not like the overall experience at the eatery, so I would not recommend it for any other dish or reason except this particular pastry (see section below on the eatery experience). It is called Sarikopita Pie, which is Cretan Greek cuisine whereby simple thin dough made with olive oil is rolled into a cylinder shape and twisted into a turban-like shape before being deep fried in olive oil again. It is often filled with creamy cheeses such as feta, so this version is quite typical. And like in other places, it is also typically served warm, drizzled with honey and sprinkled with sesame seeds. In this case, there was also fresh oregano leaves sprinkled with it. Other versions might serve it with cinnamon instead.
