One of the sweet delicious desserts which worth to be tasted is “Turkish Delight or Lokumcusu” …I have visited a factory attached with a shop selling it in Bursa…You can watch the method of preparing it using an electrical machine then pouring the mixture in patterns with additions which have different flavors…There’re plain with sugar powder , strawberry , red berry , apricot , Nutella , dried pomegranate , coffee , almond , pistachio and many different flavors…you really feel puzzled which type will you choose to taste…This dessert is tinder , smooth , mouth watering , melting in your mouth…The sugar content is balances not so high…once you taste it , a smile is drawn in your face
that’s why it’s called as " Turkish Delight " which spreads delight and happiness…It’s considered as one of traditional and popular dessert served with coffee or enjoying it solo…
Honestly I tried only the baklava and the ice cream (because of the show what the sellers do) when I was in Turkey, but I wish I could visit this place too. Did you buy some for home? Which was your favorite?
@Petra_M you’re more than welcome . Of course, I have already bought Baklava and Turkish Delight for home. I liked Baklava so much and I’ll make another post about it later
@ReemaGandhi Thanks so much for reading my post . Actually, they are covered by coconut but they are way different from Swiss Rolls. As you know, Swiss Rolls are mainly made from cake stuffed by jam. but, Turkish delight are mainly made from sugar, Four and different additions.
By the way, I like pomegranate flavor too It has a fantastic taste on the tip of the tongue
I loved seeing the photos of Turkish delight, @M_Yones ! All type of lokumcusu look so tempting! Which is your favorite one? I personally love the coconut ones. Have you ever tried them?
Do you also like baklava? I love eating it! Here is a photo that I captured of my favorite baklava.
@TsekoV Thanks for your sweet words . Actually, I loved each bite of those different flavors and of course I have tasted Baklava from (Hafiz Mustafa) which can be considered as the most famous patisserie in Istanbul. I promise to prepare a special post for Baklava as soon as possible .
I am looking forward to seeing your post, hehe. : ) I wanted to ask you if you are a local in Istanbul? I visited there recently but so far I didn’t know that the Hafiz Mustafa is one of the most famous brands for baklava and Turkish desserts. I think there isn’t a sweet thing I don’t like from Turkey. I simply love the cuisine there.
@TsekoV No, I am not a local resident in Istanbul but I adore it
well, Hafiz Mustafa’s Baklava is worth to be tasted especially the type which is fully stuffed by pistachio.
By the way, I’ve experienced tasting of different dishes in various restaurants in Istanbul and I also promise to make posts for each one. just keep in touch for incoming new posts
I am happy to learn that you also share the same love for Istanbul, @M_Yones ! No matter how many times I go there, there is that feeling that tells you one day you will go back again…
I am looking forward to learning more about the restaurants you visited and the dishes you tried there.
