I struggled to find lokum (aka Turkish delight) in Kadikoy. You wouldn't believe it but it's true. Leaving the hotel I asked the reception and luckily he knew a place enroute. It was easy to find along the main street downwards and I suppose I hadn't previously ventured along that road all the way down to the ferry area.
There were many choices of lokum in all different flavours.
I'd tried many since coming home and each have that perfect lokum gummy texture. I have to admit the flavours generally aren't my style and so I think I'm happy sticking to baklava when it comes to Turkish takeaway desserts now.
But everyone is different!
