Turkish Delight

no no, I'm not referring to the chocolate.  Chanced upon a Turkish place when the bf and I were looking around SKY garden at suntec city.  We were looking for a cheap and good place (yes we're trying to tighten both our belts both literally and metaphorically.  The place is called Deli Turk and the wait staff and our love for lamb was what made us decide to try the place out.  The waiter who greeted us as we walked past and introduced the dishes to us even though we weren't sure about eating there was very friendly and even throughout the meal he was very attentive, asking for feedback and if we were okay etc.  

As we looked through the menu, we soon realised that it wasn't going to be as cheap as we anticipated, but I figured the portions are usually very generous so nvmd.. it will still be value for money.

So we ordered the shish kebab (lamb) and donner kebab (also lamb), yes, we love lamb. lamb lamb lamb.  If Mary had a little lamb, well, then Marajaded had a lot of lamb.  sorry, i just had to..

When the food arrived, my first impression was.. where's the rest of this meal? its not like there wasn't enough in front of me, but I just expected a more generous portion that's all. Their portions turned out to be Singaporean sized. see lah, being greedy again. but anyway, I suspect it could also have to do with the plates they used or they way they plated it, it just looked sparse on a seemingly small plate.

the food was good, the lamb was juicy but with bite in it and brilliantly flavoured. The rice that came with the kebab was weird, I think it was more like glutinous rice than regular rice, cause it was small, and starchy and harder than our regular butter rice. I could be wrong on this. It tasted like the rice they use for the nonya kuehs. the pita bread was also very good.

Next came our dessert, künefe, which is made from wheat flakes, honey cheese, topped with pistachio nuts and served in clotted cream. it's one of the best dessert's I've had. Man, this was the only time I've eaten a dessert and really really wished I had a camera. Its really sweet though, even the bf who has an extremely sweet tooth found it sweet (yes it's that sweet!). Best to share this with someone. And they even served this with some tea.

The total damage for 2 mains and 1 dessert including taxes was about $45, like I said, so much for good and cheap, but at least it was good!
