Hi guys brilliant to see ye back. I think turkish food has to be among the best in the world and what ye had was incredible. Certainly beats abrakebabra here in Cork after a night on the tiles lol.

[@ChasingaPlate]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 abrakedabra! What a name! Happy new year mate and hope you had a brilliant festive season! We’re desperate to get back to Turkey soon- it’s such an amazing place and the food was just incredible! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena

[@ordinaryguy1025]

Yeah I wonder if "Abrakebabra" in Cork is the same as "Abbra Kebabra" in Brisbane???? I thought it was quite delicious though when I tried it.

[@elegrin5170]

Turkish cuisine could be the most food cuisine in the world.Because we have approximately 300 main title names of turkish food. Authentic cuisine, Ottoman cuisine, village cuisine, middle asia turks cuisine, home meal cuisine, antique cuisine, fast food cuisine, Babylon cuisine,Lydians cuisine, Byzantium cuisine, Greek cuisine, Mediterranean cuisine bla bla.. Every piece of this cuisine includes about 50-70 food. Think about it. :) Because as a geographical, Turkey resides between most of antic culture. From past to present. Thank you.

[@FoodandFootprints]

Glad to see you back! Definitely hungry right now. Great b roll of the Bosphorus!

[@nicholascave3012]

You could ask for Turkish coffee at that place you drank tea. His coffee would probably be better than other trendy places. Locals drink coffee from those little coffee&tea joints.

[@ChasingaPlate]

You’re probably right Nicholas! We managed to find one the next day over on Kadikoy and man it was strong 😍 thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Azmi Yunos, so glad that our videos can help you hunt down these spots soon 😍 Woooo hooo!! You are going to eat SO well! We wanted to sample the coffee at Mandabatmaz in Beyoglu- we found out that the owner passed away recently so in case it's not open when you visit- we had a lovely experience at Fazil Bey's in Kadikoy. Also, you MUST eat this balik ekmek- it's on the list of the best things we have eaten all year! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqeuq6uerZhqm5Y Have an amazing trip and hope you enjoy the rest of our Istanbul series mate.

As a local, I can recommend going to Gaziantep, Hatay and Adana. These 3 cities are really good if you're interested in eating different and delicious Turkish foods. One of them 'Gaziantep' is added to Creative Cities Network by UNESCO. It is also best city in thwe World to eat baklava.

Hey guys love ur channel. Im going to Istanbul with my wife for honeymoon would you please recommend places and activities restaurants. As far as financial how much would i probably need for 12 days? Thank you so much ❤

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Pétros! Thanks for watching and we’re so glad you are enjoying our content! What a brilliant choice of city for your honeymoon 😍 Istanbul is such a romantic city! Literally everywhere we ate in our Istanbul series we would recommend. We always put restaurant details in our video description so check there for more information 😄 We tend to explore just by wandering around neighbourhoods and through local markets and Istanbul is the perfect city for strolling- there’s so much to see! If you have some time the boat trip we did to Anadolu Kavagi in our seafood video is well worth it too! We generally find Istanbul an affordable city to travel in- we would spend about $10 Australian dollars for the both of us for a casual meal out. And we never spent more than about $60 for a fancier, mezze meal (with alcohol). Hope that helps mate! Thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
