Turkish Cuisine: Tavukgöğsü Kazadibi - Caramelised Chicken Breast Milk Pudding?

By
You know I am a curious cat. I know that Turkish cuisine is famous for its sweets and desserts. Turkish Delights and Baklava will haunt you on every corner of the city. Fine, I give in! But let me choose the dessert, alright?


And so I did. A local pudding called Tavukgöğsü Kazadibi which has some chicken breast stock in it. Well, the menu actually said it has some real chicken pieces in it. Interesting.

The waiter at Bolulu Hasan Usta Sut Tatlilari, a patisserie and pudding speciality cafe shop on Istiklal Street recommended this to me when I asked him which dessert I should try that truly represents Turkey. So yes, he picked this pudding for me, he said it is very traditional and tasty. I could not refuse when he confirmed that chicken is really part of the recipe. My curiosity piqued and I want to try this chicken pudding! Ahora mismo. Pronto.

Are you curious or are your tastebuds saying yuck? =)

This actually tasted very good. Not too sweet compared to the honey dripping baklava. I even managed to finish half of this, which is already a feat, well with the help of the espresso of course.

I highly recommend Tavukgöğsü Kazadibi!


Caramelised Chicken Breast Milk Pudding. I did not know what to expect.


This is actually my midnight snack =) and as you can see it is full of activity outside on Istiklal Street.


This has my thumbs up. If you visit Turkey, try this! It actually doesn't take like chicken at all.

Balkan Roadtrip - Bosnia Herzegovina: Visit to Medjugorje / Medugorje

By

My friend Bubbles, whom I was travelling with in the Balkans, had a request that we stop over at Medjugorje. We got lucky because Medjugorje was on the way to Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is our next stop. Half an hour into our driving, we reached Medjugorje. Parking was not easy to find, but we struck lucky and found a space not too far away from the Saint James Church. Medjugorje or Medugorje is a world-famous Catholic pilgrimage site due to the Our Lady of Medjugorje, who claimed to have seen a series of apparitions of the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to 6 Bosnian children at  Križevac Hill .

Bangkok, Thailand: The Story Behind the Impressive Serpent Statue at Suvarnabhumi Bangkok International Airport

If you fly out from the new Bangkok ‘Suvarnabhumi’ International Airport, the huge, colourful and impressive mythical statue popular in Thai and Indian culture, the 3-headed serpent Naga (his name Vasuki) in a spectacular tug-of-war scene with its mid-section body wrapped around a stone, which is actually a mountain, and Vishnu one of the supreme deities in Hindu is sitting on top, will greet you as you finish immigration and step inside the airport’s duty free shopping area. You just have to stop and be dazzled by it. The whole installation is impressive and as I took pictures I wondered what the story is behind this scene. After much googling around, I found out that the statue is very famous in Hindu culture and religion. This legendary scene is called ‘Samudra Manthan’ in other words in English – the ‘Churning of the Ocean of Milk’. I have no idea why it is called the ocean of milk though, perhaps it is mere an expression of allegory. There is no official state religi...
