Kebab Varieties
Kebab is a popular dish that originated in the Middle East. It is made of various meats, vegetables, and spices, all skewered together and grilled over an open flame. Kebab has become a staple of many cultures all over the world, but it has its roots in Turkey.
Kebab is said to have been created by nomadic tribes living in the Anatolian region of Turkey hundreds of years ago.
The original kebab was made with lamb or goat meat which was skewered on sticks with vegetables and cooked over an open flame or pit. This style eventually evolved into what we know today as “döner kebab,” where the meat is cooked on a rotating spit over an open fire.
Today, kebabs are one of the most popular dishes served in Turkish restaurant in Singapore. The traditional döner kebab is still popular, but there are also other variations, such as shish kebab (skewered cubes of meat) and lahmacun (a thin flatbread topped with minced meat).
There are even vegetarian options, such as falafel kebabs made with chickpeas and vegetables. No matter what your preference is, you’re sure to find a delicious kebab to satisfy your cravings!
Kebabs are one of the most popular Turkish dishes served in Singapore restaurants.
There are many different types of kebabs, including shish kebab (grilled cubes of meat or fish), kofte (minced meatballs), and doner (shaved rotisserie-cooked meat). All these types of kebabs can be served with various accompaniments such as vegetables, rice, and flatbreads.
Meze Platter
The Meze platter is another common dish found on restaurant menus throughout Singapore.
Eating meze platters can be a delicious and satisfying experience. Meze is a traditional Mediterranean and Middle Eastern style of dining where a variety of small, flavorful dishes are served simultaneously rather than in a traditional course-by-course meal.
When eating meze platters, one might experience a variety of flavours and textures. Each dish is usually prepared with its own unique blend of spices and herbs, which can range from tangy and lemony to rich and smoky.
The variety of dishes can be enjoyed individually or mixed together to create a symphony of flavours. The appetizers usually have a variety of textures, such as creamy, crunchy, and soft.
Meze platters are often served with pita bread, which can be used to scoop up the various dips and spreads. Additionally, they may be accompanied by various side dishes such as olives, pickles, and feta cheese.
Borek
Borek is an oven-baked pastry filled with cheese or ground beef. The food is often served as part of a meze platter but can also be enjoyed as an entrée or even dessert.
Borek is usually cut into bite-sized pieces so that it can be shared among friends or family members. It’s savoury yet satisfyingly sweet at the same time!
