慕名而來買土耳其軟糖~~ 作為慶祝小妹跟少爺的第1個元宵節 >v<
上到去時, 店子門半掩著, 裡頭好黑呢,, 只有些微弱的燈光, 有個英語說得不是很純正的男店員來問小妹是不是要買糖果~~~ 他介紹小妹買1 pack 包裝好的雜錦糖果~ 當中有玫瑰軟糖和幾款nuts 口味的棉花糖~1袋有10數粒的~ $55不算貴哇~~

開開心心的買回家~~當晚就跟少爺嘗甜了~~~
先試玫瑰味~~哇真的很重玫瑰味, 少爺說像放了香水入口 -3- 軟糖質地煙煙韌韌, 有點飲糯米慈的感覺不過沒有那麼黏。
nuts 的外層有椰絲, 夾雜著1粒粒nuts~ 雖說是棉花糖, 其實裡頭跟軟糖沒2樣分別~
不過棉花糖更甜呢!!!

聽店員說糖果是每天新鮮運到店子的~~ 果然隔幾天再吃時就沒當晚吃得那麼軟, 變硬了1點了._. 小妹讓其他人嘗嘗土耳其軟糖, 他們都說太甜,, 哎唷, 或者下次再看看有沒有其他款式的糖果吧~

A gem in Hong Kong!

It is rather difficult to find Turkish delights (Lokum) in Hong Kong.

The rose flavor has a serene scent of rose, with a slight pink hue beneath its powdered white surface like the cheeks of a kabuki actress. Chewy and tender.

I wasnt big on nuts, but the owner let me try some of the pistacio treats. It looks like marshmellow studded with green dots. It has a fluffy texture, yet unlike "chinese Peanut candy" it doesn stick to your teeth. Very nice.

This is where you find your Turkish Delight fix!

The place is quite small, 3 tables maybe 100ft space.

$55 for 200/g rose, $38 /100 g pistachio

遲了很多才這篇食評,第一篇食評,絕對應該發給有價值的一間店.之前在報紙/雜誌已經看過相關報導,然後這一次是有事相求才來到這裡.點了土耳其咖啡和沙律.不用多久,咖啡就先來,附加一顆玫瑰味turkish delight.是第一次吃turkish delight,不太甜,很特別...咖啡是很小杯的,比一般咖啡稠一點,但不會苦,也比想像中易入口.另外,沙律真的是超好味! 雖然只有菜和蕃茄,可是特有的醬汁更突出了材料的新鮮.占卜及咖啡共收費港幣一百元,出於好奇,試了一遍.店主很有心機和耐性,花了頗長的時間去觀察及解釋占卜結果.這些事情,,,信不信由你.但對我來說,某些過去的事情好像也蠻準的...在openrice搜尋了這間cafe,主要是想請土耳其人店主幫我一個忙..然後,他真的幫助了我. 還跟我聊了一會..店主十分友善好客,令人輕鬆自在.在此萬分感激他的幫忙. 定必再次光顧.

遲了很多才這篇食評,第一篇食評,絕對應該發給有價值的一間店.
之前在報紙/雜誌已經看過相關報導,然後這一次是有事相求才來到這裡.
點了土耳其咖啡和沙律.不用多久,咖啡就先來,附加一顆玫瑰味turkish delight.
是第一次吃turkish delight,不太甜,很特別...
咖啡是很小杯的,比一般咖啡稠一點,但不會苦,也比想像中易入口.
另外,沙律真的是超好味! 雖然只有菜和蕃茄,可是特有的醬汁更突出了材料的新鮮.
占卜及咖啡共收費港幣一百元,出於好奇,試了一遍.
店主很有心機和耐性,花了頗長的時間去觀察及解釋占卜結果.
這些事情,,,信不信由你.但對我來說,某些過去的事情好像也蠻準的...

在openrice搜尋了這間cafe,主要是想請土耳其人店主幫我一個忙..
然後,他真的幫助了我. 還跟我聊了一會..店主十分友善好客,令人輕鬆自在.
在此萬分感激他的幫忙. 定必再次光顧.

在CS Lewis的Narnia 裡面,Edmound 因為white witch的幾塊土耳其軟糖,就出賣了自己的兄妹................

之前在歐洲讀書,很輕易便會買到的糖果,來到香港,竟然難過登天。

聽朋友說在旺角可以買到土耳其糖,有天行經旺角專登去了購買。

搭電梯上去,一開口便問有沒有玫瑰味的,因為在歐洲讀書的時候,土耳其的所有玫瑰味道的產品,不論是糖果,花茶,甚至果醬的那些,我也吃得津津有味,很思念這種味道。

老闆娘回應說,已售罄,要遲幾天才補貨,那時候我打算走,老闆娘說上到來不如試試其他味道,也好,也就試吧。

老闆娘在膠瓶中拿了一塊果仁和另一種味道(我也忘記了)給我,我試食完決定買了果仁。

老闆娘就拿了試食的那一瓶給我,還說38元是100g的?這樣之前的稱得上是"試食"嗎?
那一刻我無言了。
其實我絕不介意那10元8塊,但這樣的稱之為試食,是不是搞笑了一點?

更甚是,試食的時候,其實我的另一位朋友是在場的,雖然全程他沒有出過一句聲。

我不知道是不是生意真的很難做,或者是成本很貴,但在商言商或待客之道而言,老闆娘也應該跟我的朋友逆一句可以試一下,這個連試食攤位的阿姐也懂得了。

其實給兩位客人同時試食兩塊應該不會是太貴吧,但做出來是ignore了一位客人就實在是令人感覺太小家子氣了,而且試食是可以提高客人的購買慾,做生意不是客人說希望試食才剪給人家吧。

說回了糖果.........因為遷就香港人的口味,減甜很多很多很多,基本上跟我在歐洲讀書時吃到的完全已經是兩回事,但老實說口感依然是美味,或者吃的都是回憶吧。

真希望老闆娘可以改善一下做生意的手法,是肺腑之言,因為本人也是做生意的。

1stly I should point out that for some reason, all of the below Reviews belong to the 荃灣 shop - which carries a slight different concept than the main 旺角 shop. At Mongkok's 'I Love Istanbul', its an upstairs Cafe which 主打 TURKISH COFFEE AND TURKISH SWEETS, PLUS A FEW SAVOURIES AND SNACKS!


**************
TURKISH COFFEE -

I was only here for 1 thing and everyone already guessed rightly:
TURKISH COFFEE..!

This was made by one of the 靚仔 Turkish partners, whose photos are plastered all over the walls! Imported although finely pre-grinded Turkish Beans were boiled using a Brass/Copper Cezve Pot. When this is served, it already has sugar added-in, as is traditional. It carries that wonderful aroma associated with old-world bazaar markets and perhaps a little spice, but somewhat toned down compared to a fresh-grinded version.

Upon tasting my 1st sip it was surprisingly a bit weaker also less acrid than any previous experience. It was quite balanced, sweet yet lacking the piquant spice influence, its even weaker than a concentreated Italian Espresso despite the cup's bottom layer inundated with sand-like coffee sediments.
It also did not have any annoying, simultaneously 'bitter' yet high 'acidity' factor that one normally associates with brewed Turkish Coffee or perhaps more so with Greek Coffees. From my previous tastings, Turkish coffees are usually brought to the boil at least 2-3 times and forms an aerated Frothy Top, also a bit stronger in taste! Although I didn't experience these tonight nor a frothy top - it was for everyone's 'goodness' as it was compellingly addictive as is and suffers none of the weaknesses which usually deters me from downing Turkish Style Coffees without the usual 'cringe'!
On the other hand, some might find it toned down and it also occurred as a thought : WHAT IF, the coffee beans were freshly grinded on the spot rather than vac-packed ...


TURKISH SWEETS -

Apparently, the most proper way to drink Turkish Coffee is to take a small sip, then down a mouthful of Cold Water, before devouring a melt-in-your-mouth, original Rose Water flavoured Turkish Delight! One of these is included with my coffee and it really works unbelievably well as a COMBO.... droooool.....
No one had ever told me this 'trick' before - but now, I came away more educated than before!

I LOVE ISTANBUL regularly air-freight in fresh Turkish Sweets such as Cezerye (Nuts 軟糖) and the Turkish Delights of multiple nuts or fruitty Flavours, they're sold @ $20/100g, a bargain! I was given Complimentary Tastings of a few of their Cezeryes and Delights and must say, they're 100% authentic in taste and you wouldn't expect anything less.... I've already bought a few of these morsels for accompanying my next home-made Turkish Coffees, which I anticipate to make soon, seeing I happen to have a package of it at home by coincidence!

**************************
SUMMARY: A Really Lovely Shop on the 13th Floor on a busy strip in Mongkok and definitely worth patroning. They also do a Fortunate Telling service by reading the drinking pattern and 'coffee-sediments' left over from the cup. Saves the trip to Temple Street.

As a side-note - they are partially related to the famous Turkish place 'Our Restaurant' in the street behind, which I serendipitously visited prior to finding this shop weeks ago, perhaps I should review there as well 1 day. However, the version of Shish Kebab they will serve in THIS upstairs cafe is not of the street-stall Doner type, but a Home-style type made from pan-frying the meat and salads, then stuffing them into Pita Bread Pockets rather than incorporated into rolled Lavash bread. (I personally find that in Hong Kong, the Kebab shops don't also serve this Pita Pocket version usually.... most overseas shops do both versions.) The reason for this discrepancy as explained to me by the friendliy lady is because, its not practical for home-cooks to make a real rotating Doner Kebab so compromises are taken, but rest assured - it'll be Authentically Turkish, just with a bit of a twist.

CAN'T WAIT FOR MY NEXT VISIT
- RECOMMENDED.
