Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:41:29 +0000 http://www.marketmanila.com/archives/egyptian-spice-bazaar-istanbul#comment-174915 [...] Çiya Çiya is in Kadıköy on the Asian side. You can read all about it in a previous blog post. I suggest you devote at least half a day to eating in Kadıköy. If you can, try to go on Tuesday when the huge market takes place. Otherwise, you can enjoy the regular daily bazaar selling all types of food. You can get to Kadıköy on a ferry from BeÅŸiktaÅŸ, Eminönü, Karaköy, and KabataÅŸ. The trip takes around 20 minutes and costs 1.40 lira. To visit the food bazaar and to get to Çiya walk out of the ferry terminal and head towards the tram tracks or the unfortunate landmark Starbucks. The bazaar isn’t touristy like the Spice and Grand Bazaars so its actually pleasant to browse. The shopkeepers are really nice and this is the perfect place to pick up some spices and dried fruit or nuts to take home with you. After Çiya, walk off your meal and dessert and get ready for more sweets. Visit Haci Bekir for kaymaklı lokum (Turkish delight filled with clotted cream. That’s right, you read it correctly. Filled with clotted cream.) and their sakızlı lokum (mastic flavored Turkish delight). Stop into Baylan for a Kup Griye (ice cream, carmel, creme chantilly, and nuts) and Beyaz Fırın for slice of their magical pastalar (cakes) and tea.

What is also amazing is that these turks are linquists, weren't they. soon as they know where you come from they will speak in your language. including tagalog. Anyone who can plan a trip, check turkey, it's really a secret country but lots and lots of history to discover and we all will be given a recall of our history. They are so good at preserving their culture. Good on yah, MM.......... it is fantastic and MM is right in informing us that look at the goodies inside, check their prices but buy them outside.
