👉🏻baklava (3pcs for $12+): we were joking how the portions were so small and that the 3 pieces were actually just one and we should get 2 more lol. But with that said, one mini bite portion is actually v heavy. It is essentially pastry filled with chopped nuts and drenched in sweetened syrup

👉🏻Turkish black tea / Turkish apple tea (a pot for $12+): what a small pot!! Tea appreciation indeed. Tried the black tea and added some sugar before I could appreciate it ☺️

Have always been walking by Arab street Haji lane area to get to my rich and good cake shop and have always marvelled at the pretty table chair decoration of the Turkish restaurants along the pedestrian walkway.

My my it was a tourist trap place to me 😅 but it was my first experience dining at a turkish restaurant and trying the Turkish desserts. So overall it was still an interesting experience.

👉🏻kunefe ($13+): this was something that I have been wanting to try since 8 years ago! But never got down to trying it because I became lactose intolerant. All of us thought this shredded filo pastry tastes like chaotah beehoon 🤭
