Ever since we landed in Turkey, the kids had been mentioning Nusret Restaurant like thousands of times! Be it Izzaty or Izzat. Mama ni tak pernah lah dengar this restaurant (obviously mama is so not up-to-date) until they mentioned it in Turkey. Never heard of the chef as well! (confirm mama kata bawah tempurung lol!). Even some good friends, Maryam Wong and Noreen recommended it. So we googled it and tersedak okay tenguk the price! So expensive! 😅
So memang tak plan lah kan nak singgah sini Lol! 🤭
But the kids tak habis2 meracun we all ajak pi makan sini tau... katanya, the Istanbul branches are the cheapest branches... other branches in the other side of the world are more expensive. So?? Ada mama kisah? Lol!
Anyway, we finally succumbed to their sweet talk... haha! Okay laaa... bagi chance... to celebrate Izzaty's completion of degree (why not kan... she totally deserve this right?!), we decided to have lunch at this super famous restaurant on our last day in Turkey.
So we made a reservation a few days before (the restaurant is usually fully booked! So it was advisable to make reservation)... we even studied the menu online to decide what to order (to make sure it was within our budget lol!). Rakyat marhain kan... kena la budget betul2 lol!
So right after the cruise, off we went to Nusret Restaurant which was located in the Grand Bazaar area.
Still had to wait in a queue even though we made reservation.... the place was full!
Sementara menunggu, sempat posing... shameless pose, ramai tenguk... don't care! 😆
Finally got our table.
Had to wait for a while before a staff came to serve us...
The famous trademark 'tabur garam' tu yang tak tahan tenguk... lol!
So what did we order? Tadaaaa...
Tomahawk Steak... TLR1,050
We were skeptical..
Nampak agak merah.... but surprisingly taste soooo good!!
Onion Flower... TLR95
This one pun sedap... like onion ring!
Nusr-et Burger Set - Cheeseburger with smoked beef, caramelised onion, cheddar cheese and French Fries - TLR190.
That's all! For the 6 of us!
Memang tak begitu kenyang la kan... just nak merasa je pun huhuuuu...
Total damage at Nusret Istanbul was around RM350. Okay laaa... not bad!
Been there! Done that! Lol!
#HussinClan were here! lol!
Before we left the place, sempat group photo kat sini again...
Senyum simpul masing2 dapat makan kat Nusret...
Jadi lah kan... merasa la jugak... kih kih!
Tak dapat bergambar with the famous owner... dapat bergambar with patung dia pun jadi laaa... ahak!
Dah kenyang... continue with our mission of souvenirs hunting.
Next destination - Hafiz Mustafa
Found a branch of Hafiz Mustafa nearby. Izzaty wanted to buy pomegranate turkish delight for someone. So we bought some for ourselves and family for souvenirs as well.
Sedap... not as sweet as I expected.. but still manis lah kan... nama pun Turkish delight hehe. But serious sedap! Highly recommended as souvenirs! And the packaging is nice as well!
This photo was taken when the box of Hafiz Mustafa arrived in our messy kitchen in Malaysia lol!
After leaving Hafiz Mustafa, we continue our sourvenirs hunting somewhere else - bought some more turkish delights from other brand (which was cheaper but not as nice as the ones by Hafiz Mustafa). MIL sempat shopping baju along the street lagi... kenangan baju turkey kan... haha!
That night, our transport came to pick up the 3 of us to the airport...
Sad to leave the others behind (
Mr Hubby was taking a flight the day after to Uzbekistan and Zamri and MIL will be taking flight back to KUL a few days later).... but at the same time, looking forward to be home as we really miss Malaysian food haha!
That's a wrap. As I mentioned in the last photo, this was the longest leaves I've ever taken (other than maternity and hajj leaves). 7 days in Portugal. 12 days in Turkey!
Landed in KLIA in the evening of 1st June 2022. 2nd June yours truly dah start kerja okay! Penat... but yeah, life goes on... huhuu. Luckily kena work from home aje. Tak dan nak ber'jet-lag' bagai...
Wednesday landed in KLIA. Thursday and Friday back to work. Saturday balik Melaka to attend Majlis menyambut menantu my nephew, Imran.
Alhamdulillah... dipermudahkan urusan.... thank you Alah.
