İste Nostalji Vol 1 :
Van Kahvaltı Sofrası
Bebek Senligi ve
Nusret STEAKHOUSE
I was just sitting in front of the computer and checking some photos when ı found the pictures which Lara and ı had made on a beautiful sunday at the beginning of last years summer, after we got rid of all our exams! After a little bit nostalgic and sad moments ( I missed Lara so much! ) and some laugh ı decided to share this great day with great discoveries with you.
Here is Nostalgia Vol 1 :
Van Kahvaltı Sofrası
Bebek Festival
Nusret STEAKHOUSE
Butun senenin stresini arkamizda nihayet biraktiktan sonra solugu Cihangir'de VAN KAHVALTI SOFRASI'nda aldik ve kendimizi ödüllendirmeye nefis bir kahvalti ile basladik.
After leaving all the stress of the year behind us, we found ourselves in VAN KAHVALTI SOFRASI, which is a cafe where only breakfast is served and we rewarded ourselves with a yummy breakfast!
Burasi İstanbul'un en renkli cafelerine sahip olan Cihangir semtinde bulunan küçücük bir kahvaltı evi. Küçük ama nasil kalabalik! Millet deli gibi sira bekliyo! Eger sabahin gec saatlerine kalirsaniz mutlaka siz de biraz beklemek zorunda kalirsiniz. O yüzden en güzeli tembellikten kısıp biraz daha erken hareketlenip erken gitmek!
Here is a tiny cafe , where they serve a huge traditional breakfast from the city ' Van ' in Turkey and it is located in the district called ' Cihangir ' which is famous with its cute cafes and is really close to the city center ' Taksim '. Although the place is so tiny, there are lots of people waiting on the line in order to have breakfast here! So if you don't want to wait , you should come in earlier hours like between 9-10 o'clock in the morning.
Gelelim Kahvaltıya: Fotografta da gördügünüz gibi masayı Serpme Kahvaltı ile donattılar. Bu secenekte kahvaltıya dair ne isterseniz var: Vana özel otlu peynirinden, recellere, tahin pekmeze, bal ile kaymağa kadar. Biz bir de ortaya bir mantarlı menemen söyledik.Siz de mutlaka söyleyin derim! Ve tabii ki Van'in leziz yöresel kahvalti spesiyalleri de kahvaltının içinde: Murtuğa ve Kavut. Özellikle murtuğa un, şeker ve tereyağı ile yapılıp üstüne bal ya da reçel döküp yenilen harika bir spesiyal! Bunlar serpme kahvaltının içinde ufak miktarda geliyor. Eger isterseniz ayrıca söyleyebiliyorsunuz. Çay ise limitsiz!
Enfes bir kahvaltının ardindan günümüzü biraz da kültürel açidan zenginlestirelim dedik ve ikinci duragımız Emirgan'da bulunan Sabancı Müzesindeki Rembrandt Sergisi oldu. Rembrandt ve cagdaslarının eserleri buraya Amsterdam'ın en ünlü müzelerinden olan RIJK MUSEUM ' dan getirilmis.
After a great breakfast we wanted to add some culturel event to our perfect day so our next stop was this ' Sabancı Museum' in Emirgan. We visited the exhibition ' Rembrandt ' ( who was one of the most famous artists ). They brought all his paintings from the RIJK MUSEUM in Amsterdam which is one of the most important museums of the city.
İste Rembrandt ve çağdaşlarının muhtesem eserlerinin bir kaçı:
Here are some great pieces of Rembrandt:
Sergide epey bir zaman gecirdikten sonra artık resimleri incelemekten gözlerimiz, ayakta
dikilmekten de biz bitik durumdaydık. Kendimizi disarı atar atmaz müzenin önündeki cimlere yayildik. Sabancı Müzesi'nin güzel yanlarindan biri de muhtesem bir bogaz manzarasına sahip olmasi. Biz de yorgunlugumuzu cimlerin üstünde İstanbul'un güzel manzarasını seyredip denizinin dalgalarını dinleyerek atıverdik.
After spending pretty much time in the museum we were so tired of standing und staring at the pieces that we left the building and immedietaly laid on the grass in the museums garden. One of the best things about the 'Sabancı Museum' is that it is right on the coast and has this great view of the sea and bosphorus of İstanbul. So we had some break laying on the green grass, watching the amazing view and listening to the waves.
As we had our break, we started to walk by the sea, from Emirgan to Bebek and in Bebek we came up this Bebek Festival where they put lots of food and drink stalls. So we took our raspberry cocktails with Jagermeister in it and sat on the coast, watching the great view of the city again...
Like all these trips and walks were not enough, we also made another craziness by walking up the huge slope from Bebek to Etiler! Actually that was my craziness that ı forced Lara to walk there so that we can do some sport! BUT at the end of this painful process there was something DELICIOUS waiting for us: Nusret STEAKHOUSE ( located in Etiler,Nispetiye Street)
İşte burası hayatımızın en güzel etini yediğimiz restorandı! Burada menü yok. Bir garson sizinle bizzat ilgilenip aperatifler ve ana yemek öneriyor. Bizle de çok güler yüzlü bir garson ilgilendi: Önden Lokum ve Spagetti adlı spesiyallerini önerdi: Evet, her ikisi de garip adlı ve muhtesem lezzetli et cesitleri! Aperatiflerin ardından ana yemek için pek de halimiz kalmamisti ama büyük ısrarların ardından bir Dallas Steak paylastık. Nasıl pisirilmesini istediğimizi sormuyorlar bile çünkü onlar en iyisini biliyorlar. Gerçekten biliyolar! Hayatımda bu kadar güzel pişirilmiş , pamuk gibi Steak yememistim.
And here was the place where we ate the MOST DELICIOUS STEAK of our lives! They have no menu in this restaurant. A waiter takes care of you and suggests you the specialities they have. You pick some apetizers which are also meat. For example we had ' Lokum ' and ' Spagetti ' . Both of them have strange names which are definitely not related to meat but are yummmy meat dishes! After the apetizers you have your main course which should be a steak. We were so full because of the apetizers that we shared a steak which was called 'Dallas'. Thank god we shared the steak because it was so huge ! But that was definitely the most tasteful steak we have ever eaten. They even don't ask if you want your steak well done or medium etc. They just know to make the steak in the greatest way!
We were just surprised by the amazing taste of the steak when our waiter told us that he won't let us go until we eat their special dessert, which is a type of our traditional turkish dessert called Baklava with pistachio and served with ice cream. They bring this dessert every day from the city called ' İmam Çağdaş ' where it is traditionally made. It was as surprisingly delicious as the steak! And how the waiter served the dessert was also really interesting: He separated the dessert into two pieces and put the ice cream in the top of one piece. Then he put the other piece again on the top of ice cream, so ice cream was now in the middle of this traditional dessert.Yummmyyyy
İste Lara ile geçirdiğim unutulmaz bir gün daha böyle sonlanıverdi. Kahkahalar, spor yapalım diye saatlerce yürüyüsler, ve nefis ziyafetler! Bir an evvel gelsen de yine devam etsek kesiflerimize :) Seni çok özledim Larisim! -Revna
So that was the end of this amazing day ı spent with Lara. Lots of laugh, lots of walks ( so that we do some sport in my opinion! ) and delicious food ! I hope you come as soon as possible my dear Lara so that we keep our great days like this :) Miss you so much ! -Revna
