all right welcome back to Istanbul everybody today is bright and early Sunday morning streets are a
little bit quiet but we have blue skies happening and the weather is nearly 20 degrees I think
spring has sprung here in Istanbul so come along with us as we journey through our neighborhood
which is called which is a little quiet now it is Sunday morning but lovely neighborhood lots
of cafes lots of bars lots of smiling faces it seems to be trendy and awesome and there
is what seems to be a breakfast street because every time we walk down that street people say
Hey you want some breakfast even if it's 2 p.m yeah that's true it's like an all-day
breakfast street so let's go see if we can hunt and find some Turkish breakfast very good let's go
wow I tell you what the streets are a little quiet but the breakfast street
is bumping full of people oh Ivana made a new friend
[Music]
thank you thanks guys nice guy
thank you evidently if you bring a camera to
breakfast street you're the most popular person on this
Avon is popular today what's nice is it seems like there's locals eating in all the restaurants it's
not just a tourist place because this is an opportunity for people to give some tourist
pricing with all the crowdedness and all the sellers kind of approaching us but it seems
like there's locals all around so I would bet that it's pretty fair pricing or pretty consistent in
pricing like not uh negotiate for the highest bidder type scenario good thank you welcome
breakfast
uh okay breakfast or you want to look around
you know me I'm the worst tourist ever I go for the first one every time
change the garden we can look thank you
something nice happening
[Music] actually it was a nice place and we would enjoy eating there but they have
some music playing so for the video's sake we're gonna go back to the streets
I tell you what Ivana the vibe here is just nice because quite touristy but not at all
tourist trap very friendly very safe locals are involved and uh really nice energy for early in
the morning I think most of the people here are actually local I think so I think so yes
it's not a tourist trap rather it's just a very tourist friendly area let's say
breakfast oh upstairs yes
Turkish people are very friendly they're good sales people because they're not pushy but
they're very friendly and very outgoing uh not overwhelming just just kind of
good sales people yeah maybe anyone music is nice and quiet nobody can hear me sold let's
eat man there's an English menu there's the I'm starving there's I'm pretty hungry and
there's I'm hungry we should go I'm starving all right let's order this 400 for two people means
20 bucks a person no 20 bucks total 10 bucks each 10 bucks each by the way love your shirt
in this environment Ivana do you work here whoa so beautiful okay let's get it I'm starving man
it's sold I'm starving yes thank you thank you thank you
this does come with drinks tea okay okay thank you thank you
this is only maybe a third of our breakfast more to come but we're so hungry we're gonna
start appetizers appetizer with types of cheese I think and bread and olives
look at this spread
looks like chili or paprika or something
good
flavor is so strong
spices kind of like um Middle East is there any flavors in it oh man it's good the spices I did
not expect that you know Adam there's some not some kind of nuts in there
too maybe walnuts or not pistachio I think and a little bit spicy dude seriously good
this might be the best thing in a whole meal what that's just amazing food very
surprising flavor spicy and nutty what is it it's kind of like [Music] our nuts in it yeah
might be the best tomato in the whole world what this is so sweet but then just eat it I don't know
if it's right to go uh cheese and bread spread let me tell you the cheese is amazing the cheese
is amazing right creamy and delicious very fresh I wonder if it's like claiman a little bit buttery
hmm the cheese with the Ritz bread I don't know if this is right or wrong actually the
only thing I don't like about Turkish food is I don't know how to eat it it
might be a technique I'm doing right or wrong but the red spread with the cheese
very good
ham cheese and jam roll okay not bad so we've begun mixing and matching a
little bit of everything honey butter cheese bread
[Music]
you guys know the name of this bread let us know
thank you
okay the table is starting to fill up very nice I think it's like a Turkish
scrambled egg I can tell you what the volume is rising in here okay people
are getting excited the food is coming out we got sausage sausages yes there's no pork
sauce I don't think it's more of a sausages no pork sausage it's almost like a dessert like a
pastry with potentially cheese inside I like cheese and ham inside look at this
very good it's not a fried crab with cheese and ham inside I like
this but it wouldn't be four pans so it's gonna be meat sometimes or something yeah
uh the egg is actually gone invisible I think it's like scrambled like you said it's kind of whipped
all together oh it's good oh it's very good you're gonna love it you said that uh turkey has
the best of males you're gonna love this strong tomato flavor oh really really good sweet tomato
more bread coming uh fried bread oh that was good
that was good uh put this with the Tomato almost like donuts it smells
like donuts as well oh it's hot where's that one I think that's a melted cheese
peppers and tomatoes
the Tomato flavor you're right it's very good and also the pepper flavor is very strong yes
very fresh not too much spices in it flavor is just balanced just
balanced all the natural flavors from the veggies
now we want to try this for me
for my palette is going to be my favorite thing in the whole table I'm almost sure
of it this is just cheese you said oh my gosh oh my God that looks like the best thing I can eat
don't play with your food Ivana oh my God I hope no one in this restaurant saw me doing that
that was embarrassing good right Burger yeah I think
[Music]
it's funny they gave us Fork a knife we never used a broken knife except I cut the cheese
mix it too the eggs and the cheese
we haven't had much salty cheese yet it's more creamy and oily and a little bit more
like buttery cheese I like that better you like that better yeah I'm a salty cheese
man but I will go for some Turkish cheese you're a buttery cheese lady oh my gosh I
married a buttery cheese lady and you're a salted food oh a salty cheese kind of guy
now you're saying this with the tomatoes
foreign
it's amazing it's so good because I love salty food it's not salty at all but very good I'll go
for one more actually we'll level up fried bread fried bread buttery cheese and tomato and egg
and be there very good five star six star whatever you want I don't know I do want to try this
um sausage like blood sausage it looks pretty dark of course I don't think it's one
is it meat it might even be like vulgar
[Music]
I have a hard time enjoying food I don't know what it is my brain gets
a little bit phobia so because it's a mystery I'm not sure I like it or not
it's very oily don't [Music] but [Music]
it's not a lamb it's not okay the meat flavor it doesn't seem to be very salty or very fatty
it's kind of like oily yeah something new anyway about it we got a lot of food to do here I think
I know why they call the restaurant 11 Brothers because it's enough food for the whole family
even if you got 11 kids you know so let's eat dude what'd you say is your favorite so far
I love the bread [Music]
and special honorable shout out to the red paste the red paste
was very nice all right everyone let's eat man
good morning [Music]
[Music]
all right [Music]
all of you like the Scrambler because normally I don't like eggs in that kind of texture but
this one is very efficient to eat Turkish food you must use your brain because you gotta choose which
dip you want to use with this bread should I use the jam Nutella butter and honey you gotta make a
strategy and you can you can bite all the way down on a different sauce every bite okay Jam first
I like this bread by the way I don't know what it is yeah I think it's fried crab they roll it up
and then they fried yeah yeah it's got all layers inside yeah is it crispy or more soft the outside
is crispy but it's very soft yeah but not salty very good and of course Nutella yo I'm ashamed to
admit the nutella's almost gone I know I've never eaten Nutella before that bread delicious I mean
Nutella is not Turkish from Italy or something but in Turkey they have a lot of hazelnuts yes turkey
is the world biggest producer of pays online yeah okay okay so maybe the hazelnut is from
Turkey this one does got something in it Jesus buttery cheese and some green herbs see yeah yeah
it looks good actually I love this one [Music] I don't know what they're called today has been a
learning experience I haven't touched a french fries yeah that's that's the embarrassing part
of our diet Yvonne has been going to Harvard Nutella I've been going hard on French fries
really the two most familiar items on the table you know old habits are very hard to break okay
french fries can I finish this cheese go ahead yeah that's the best cheese really buttery cheesy
I think this came up it's another very dense form it's very buttery
it smells very good it goes so good with that red stuff oh it's good
and it's almost like um our travels in the Balkans have prepared us for turkey because in Romania is
a kuska and Serbia Ivar I think this is all sort of a familiar to that red paste also a
big cheese and meat culture in those countries uh cheese and meat kind of familiar food I think the
ottoman inspired the Balkan food so I'll tell you what I love about this kind of meal
because it's all different bowls and you share everything you have like an infinite
number of combinations so I feel like Yvonne and I could probably get the same order even
tomorrow and discover new things we love if I didn't try every single combination
wait or something that comes at one point and that's it but here the sharing is sort of nice
what I don't love about it is we wasted a lot of football there's no way to eat
everything and I have contributed to food waste today that's just the nature of the
meal and I will end the Vlog by saying this I will lower my voice to say this so I don't get yelled
at this is world famous Turkish tea it tastes like normal tea to me can you taste the flavor
of Turkish tea did you say something different uh the same thing yes the regular English tea
breakfast it tastes like regular tea I had this expectation in my head of oh Turkish tea it's
going to be something special something different maybe it's because we just came
from Pakistan where they have Pakistani tea milk chai totally different yes Gucci
but Turkish tea is just regular tea anyway that being said very good meal thanks for watching
hey look at that ifanna breakfast is over and the street has come alive everybody's out and about
what are you doing babe
