Halal food taster

Assalamualaikum :D I always craved for Malaysian food during my stays in Ankara but I knew it was impossible so any rice meals would be a better option. I found one at Bizim Lokanta, a small restaurant located near my new hostel in Kizilay. Interesting enough that it became m y most frequently visited restaurant in Turkey so I had a special memory with it! There was many other menu selection. All the meals were with reasonable prices. The alleyway in front of the restaurant. The grilled chickens which attracted me to come here! Grilled chicken with rice (7.50TL) The portion of the chicken and rice was very comparable! This is because it was uncommon for Turks to eat rice. Fyi the rice was not too sticky compared than that at Oktay Lokantasi . I knew that this meal was too plain so I requested some ketchup and the staffs there cooly bought one from the grocery shop next door. Haha! Salad which was included in the meal.  There was also...

Assalamualaikum :D During my stays in Turkey, there were few times that I went to Kizilay. Kizilay is one of the hectic town in Ankara where lots of restaurants available there. One of the restaurant that I went was Ala Doner which served turkish cuisines.  It was a double-storey and a corner lot restaurant. The ambience inside the restaurant. The open kitchen area. The menu.  Tavuk doner  It was a meal with pieces chicken, rotisserie, fries and rice. Unlike other Turkish restaurants, the saltiness of this doner just right for me. Sometimes I need a bit of salt.

Assalamualaikum :) Do you know that there is a faster way to Istanbul from Ankara? If you don't, now I tell you. hehehe :D Since 25th July 2014,  there was an Istanbul-Ankara high-speed train which takes only for 3.5 hours and this makes it an attractive alternative to bus which takes for 6 hours.
