In Istanbul, I have had a mega mac, a double Big Mac, it was awesome, McDonald's here I had that as a large meal, the missus had a spicy chicken thing large meal, £8, they do a special deal large normal Big Mac meal and 6 nuggets for £4

and before anyone gets judging me on eating McDonald's rather than local cuisine trust me I am smashing kebabs down me, it's getting daft, best one I've had so far was an iskender kebab which was basically doner meat (proper stuff here, less processed) served in like a tomato ragu over bread that's gone soggy with the sauce and a dollop of yogurt on the side, I'll definitely be trying that when I get home 

Late night food:

Islak hamburger

Patso

Tantuni

Cig Kofte

Try a plate of karisik kofte too.

Chinese tonight. Was just browsing the menu for something different. Anyone have the foggiest what Yuen Yeung Chicken is? Even Google doesn't seem to know

I've seen the tantuni about and wish I'd done it but don't think I'll have time, I go home tomorrow night, got tomorrow in Asia, I've had a few kebabs but want to try a proper non processed lamb one before going home, done a kofte, haven't even seen a islak hamburger, have been enjoying backlava but it swings wildly, had some near galata bridge this morning which was 3 pieces 1 tea for 7tl then had some near my hotel in sultanahmet this afternoon for 3 pieces, 2 teas 22tl, just got in from a meal and a drink its desperate out here, there's no one about

I tend to be l aning towards ottoman cuisine been some good surprising stuff on it, tonight I had lamb with a walnut paste with some rosemary sauce, the missus had and I've done this before at home and it's awesome, deep fried ravioli

Yueng chicken is like a chicken fried rice dish

kung po is my go to Chinese dish at the moment but I've bought a bag of Sichuan peppercorns, incredible stuff, lots of flavour, spicy and numbs your mouth in a really weird way

Not as much as I'd have liked, despite always picking up the bill :wacko:

Discovered passata, it's basically somewhere in between a tin of chopped tomatoes and a tin of tomato soup

so far tried it with grated onion, garlic paste, chorizo, harissa paste

awesome stuff

You only just knew about it!? I use it instead of chopped for everything with a tomato base. So much better.
