Yemekleriniz chok lezizdi

"The food was excellent," it says in Turkish. Now where did I learn that? I found the translation together with many other Turkish phrases and expressions written on a placemat at Turquoise restaurant at SM.

If you knew me well, you would know that I choose my food very carefully and that I only eat (my meals) in a few selected restaurants particularly those which serve Halal food. My choices have been limited to KFC, McDonald's, Chowking, Sunny Point (at Victoria Plaza foodcourt) and Turquoise.

A Turkish restaurant that it is, Turquoise serves Turkish foods, plays Turkish music and is decorated with Turkish paintings and miniatures. My siblings and I absolutely love the place that we can't help but take some snapshots every time we dine thereat. :0)

The following are our favorite meals: (yumyum!)


CHICKEN SHISH - barbeque tender shicken cubes marinated with the chef's special seasoning. Served with rice, mashed potato (or fries) and barbeque tomato.




TURKISH KOFTE KEBAP -- barbeque ground beef marinated with the chef's special seasoning, served with rice, fries and fresh salad.


ADANA KEBAP -- turkish skewered ground meat kebap. Hot and spicy barbeque broiled ground beef marinated with chef's seasoning. Served with rice, mashed potato (or fries) and grilled tomato.

Now you know where to treat me. haha!

"Do not dismiss the dish saying that it is just food. The blessed thing is an entire civilization in itself. It is rare art which satisfies the senses while reconfirming the higher order of society, community and culture."
