11 Jan 2009 Kervansaray Restaurant & Night club

This place is a restaurant/night club in Turkey. Its a pretty interesting place, which entertainment show includes performances like various belly dancing, certain traditional turkish dances and singing etc. There is this guy in particular, i would like to mention. I do not know his name, but he is a very talented person. He is multilingual and can sing songs from almost any country. The place is mostly for tourists. So when a group of tourists is sitted, a country’s flag is placed on the table, so he knows which country you are from. I was surprised, when he started singing our national day songs like “We are Singapore”! Very impressive. The food there is not too bad. I love the chicken salad. I am going to make my own chicken salad and hopefully it will taste the same! haa! Oh, the dessert is pretty yummy. Ice cream with fruits!

06 Jan 2009 Turkish delight!

Now that i am back from Turkey, this week shall be Turkey week! i will be show casing food from Turkey from restaurants to streetside stalls! You can go try them when you head over or even if you are a pleasant turkish citizen! I had lunch at Galata tower at Istanbul. The view there is fantastic! You get a view of the whole city and the surrounding sea. The cold wind blowing at you! The food in turkey may need getting used to as our cooking style is very much different. But once you get used to it, i m sure you will enjoy their cuisine. Every meal will be salad, main course and dessert. Their dessert is very sweet! All soaked in syrup!

Galata tower used to be a lighthouse made from wood. Later they rebuild the tower using bricks and now it is a nice place in the middle of istambul. I had the grilled fish meal. The appetizer was a dish with many kinds of cheese! I am a cheese lover, but those type needs acquired taste man. The veg are pretty fresh. If you love sweet stuff, u will love the desserts there!
