2.LOKUM
When two popular words come together, they create ‘Turkish Delight’. I guess most people heard it at least once in their life. It is like our sign among desserts. The taste of it is very delicious, soft, easy to eat. Also, lokum has different kinds such as with hazelnut, pistachio, roses and the colors of it is very enjoyable!
You can eat them while you are drinking coffee or tea. Moreover, most coffee shops in Turkey serve Lokum with that kind of drinks for its customers!
3.KÜNEFE
The perfect combination of cheese with dessert! As I remember, Künefe is the first dessert which includes cheese on it. You may shock about how they are making dessert by using cheese but believe us it is more than you can imagine. It is served with juices and milk. Why milk? Because it balances the taste! This portion for 2-3 people and the price of it changes between 50TL-60TL. Show this picture to the waiter/waitress and wait for your Künefe. 🙂
As a clue, cheese has to extend like in the picture. It shows its quality!
4.SÜTLAÇ
Like an art! Sütlaç includes two main things which are rice, milk. You cook them together with other ingredients; then, according to your wishes, you can bake it in oven or just eat after it gets cold. In the picture, you are seeing a baked version.
In this picture, you are seeing the cooked version only. For this, is you like, you can add cinnamon on it. They are good couples!
5.AŞURE
Health store! You can find what you’re looking for inside of Aşure. The day of Aşure, we are preparing it and distributing it to our neighbours. This is our traditional event and it represents good feelings because sharing it with people has meaning. Because everyone likes it, most restaurants make Aşure and sell for customers.
