First time trying Turkish food (Istanbul, Turkey)

This is the first time I experience Turkish food culture in Istanbul Turkey. They say Istanbul is the food capital of Turkey, so I have to really find out by myself.

Is Turkish food delicious? What to eat while visiting Istanbul, Turkey? In this video - I share my thought about Turkish food as I tried some of the strange, famous, and most traditional Turkish food in Istanbul, Turkey (specifically in Karakoy and Kadikoy neighborhood)

This video reveals one of the most epic experience I had in Istanbul so far as I explored deep into the local experience and food culture - you will get to explore with me the highlight of Turkish cuisine as I get a chance to taste various different Turkish food including Balık Dürüm, Baklava, Ayran, Adana kebab, Istanbul hawker rice-stuffed mussels (midye dolmas) and Kokorec (Lamb intestine)

What more of authentic Turkish food I should try in my lifetime ? - You tell me:)

And if we include more home-made type foods, OMG! Those are insanely delicious! You can find small “lokantas” selling that type of food, specially try the ones made with olive oil, super healthy, tasty and of course are different from the famous street foods.

For example:

Biber dolması
Yaprak sarması
Zeytin yaplı pırasa
Barbunya (one of my favorites)
Zeytin yağlı patlıcan
Zeytin yağlı Taze fasulye
And the list can keep going on 😍

Turkish food is everywhere in the World! The best food ever!!

[abbiereynolds]

Who else is here because they recently started watching Turkish shows and wants to know what the hell they're eating in all the scenes?😂😂

[Matt-ypio]

Love how you're getting more views than your last channel is getting now with less than a 10th of the subscribers! Shows the content you create is truly quality 😁

[sfenderbabil]

Nobody talks about olive oil foods which is inherently vegan and delicious

[RaynGelique]

Turkish food 🔥🔥 kebabs and baklava are so tasty you should try the baklava with Turkish coffee.. Angelique used to work in Dubai so she spoiled me with tons of Turkish imports because of the large Turkish community and influence there. ❤️

Tah, omg, thank you so much for including the name and location of those restaurants you visited. I love, love food. Very proud of you for being brave to travel alone, for ability to make friends everywhere you go. Great job girl. Keep it up.

As a Turkish myself I really liked how you put this video together including the historical facts. So lovely!

[RossieGo]

Your story telling skill + video editing = Beautiful craft

[MikeWMiami]

Another great video, Tah! And wow, you seemed to truly enjoy the delightful food there.

[SitzPinkler]

Dont get me wrong but just a minor correction: 5:58 Never seen a single person puts rice into the wrap before, we don't do that, I am turkish 100%. (And it looks better when you use fork, right? :P)

[emrex]

6:54 that wasn't Bulgur my dear (I think he said Baldo rice, which is the type of rice used for Turkish rice), it's classic buttery Turkish rice with Orzo

[donbrashsux]

Can’t imagine the world without yummy Turkish food..

[Yasin_Affandi]

[hmmmmm]

Regarding ayran, it is the most amazing thirst quencher in super hot or humid summer days. Chilled ayran is the best.
