Turkish Food is Yummy

Tonight I met up with a friend on the spur of the moment and we went out to dinner at this tiny little Turkish place in Kobe called Murat. It was delicious. We had some thick and spicy lentil soup with freshly-squeezed lemon juice for starters and an appetizer platter with 7 different kinds of snacks, including Turkish feta, hummus, stuffed grape leaves and some really amazing cream cheese. Then we had some buttery rice and crisp sesame bread with a strange kind of tomato and egg dish that was wonderful. We finished everything off with a small bowl of gooey Turkish ice cream which was ever so slightly pistachio flavored.

Aren't you jealous?
