Gourmet Burger Kitchen




Now it's hamburger time!
in İstanbul it became such a trendy thing to open a burger place
they all come up with the ''homemade burgers''
i have tried many burgers and believe me some were really bad especially this place in cihangir:/
here is a nice cheese burger with a creative touch

Hünkar




it was the beginning of summer
yes it was...
it was very hot,and now it's rainy,cold and grey
Until the next summer arrives let's enjoy this cold winter


Lunch with Murat at Hünkar
estimated date:June-July 2010
Actually i use to go to Hünkar very often
than something has changed
suddenly it was very expensive and the food not so great
i guess i wanted to give it a try
and i wasn't dissapointed at all
so if you want to try traditional turkish cuisine go to Hünkar

Menu
Artichoke cooked with olive oil and some tiny vegetables(potatoes,carrots and peas)
Spinach(cooked with olive oil,onions garlic...)Chicken and tomato rice
Türlü(a mixture of vegetables all cooked with olive oil
(onions,potato,green pepper,haricot,carrots...)

rating:miam
the prices were ok
the owners(2 brothers)just split
but still very good for lunch

Turkish and İslamic Arts Museum




From wikipedia.org:Free encyclopedia

The Turkish and Islamic Arts Museum (Turkish: Türk ve İslam Eserleri Müzesi) is a museum located in Sultanahmet Square in Eminönü district of Istanbul, Turkey. Constructed in 1524, the building was formerly the palace of İbrahim Pasha, who was the first grand vizier to Suleiman the Magnificent.

The collection includes notable examples of Islamic calligraphy, tiles, and rugs as well as ethnographic displays on various cultures in Turkey, particularly nomad groups. These displays recreate rooms or dwellings from different time periods and regions.
