Unlike back home where a craving for grilled food is easily satisfied with a quick request to yaya (term of endearment for our much-missed household help) to make some inihaw (grilled food in Tagalog) or via a quick stop at the nearby restaurant or street corner, being a long plane ride away does make satisfying this craving not as easy as it used to be.
Good thing we managed to bring this with us when we started our “desert adventures”…
Though we still miss the smoky, charcoal-grilled flavor of food from a good, old-fashioned outdoor charcoal grill, having an indoor grill like this is certainly the next best thing given our circumstances 
This baby’s almost done… 
And yes, the shish taouk (Middle-East-style grilled chicken on skewers) on grilled vegetables turned out delish nonetheless! 
It doesn’t get any easier than this… just grill some store-bought pre-marinated chicken skewers (yes, folks, this ain’t home-made!) and mixed veggies (this much, I did – hahaha!) and you’re ready for a real grilled treat! For the veggies, I just cubed some red peppers, cucumbers, white onions and tomatoes, drizzled these with some olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and set them on the grill – they do make a perfect complement to the chicken.
