Today was a sunny and bright day. It was almost like early spring in the middle of winter. Discovering new places in the old town was a great idea. Although it was tiring, we were satisfied the fullest.
We headed for a historical place which has been there since 1864. “Hafiz Mustafa Sekerleme” is in Bahcekapi, Eminonu. It’s a cute little place on a historical corner. Upper floor is not very comfortable but when you go there, you shouldn’t look for comfort or luxury. You’re blessed if you can even find a place to sit because it’s always crowded inside.
They have innumerable types of desserts and sweets. They even don’t know the exact number. In order for you to have an idea I can say they have 45 different types of Turkish Delight, 15 different types of milk pudding, 18 different types of Baklava … It’s just the beginning of a long list.
I tried “Raspberry Milk Pudding (Muhallebi) because it looked unique to me. Milk pudding is prepared by mixing some milk, sugar and rice flour. You heat this mixture till it is thickened. Mostly you put some cinnamon on it when you serve but here I ate something more than I expected. The raspberry jello with raspberries inside left a fantastic taste when mixed with the pudding. What a discovery! The portions are big so you won’t find yourself in the middle of the joy with an empty cup. N’joy your dreams!
