A few months ago I got a text message and email about Turkuaz, a new Turkish restaurant in town. At first, I didn't pay attention to the notification, but I saw the head chef's name, Sezai Zorlu, I almost fell off my chair.
Chef Sezai is the nice chef who made me hoşaf in less than half an hour. After making me the food, we talked about foods he ate during childhood days. And then out of the blue, he gave me tips about how to make relationship works. We both had Moroccan mint tea and I remembered glancing at his teacup, wondering if his contained alcohol (Why suddenly talked about relationship?). Hahaha, just kidding. He just loves conversing with people.
Tangent: several months ago, my blog stat showed a surge of visits from people googling in words : "Sezai Zorlu marriage". I was like...what the? When I told this to the chef's girlfriend, she just laughed and said,"Some stalkers need to have more guts and just ask the guy if he is married". So true.
Another tangent: It was during the interview in the new restaurant that I realized the chef has bluish green eyes. How fitting with the restaurant's name. I've always thought his eyes were grey-colored.

Back to the topic. He's been working in a restaurant chain for years, so the fact that he is now opening his own restaurant is quite surprising. I like his food, so I'd like to help.
When I forwarded the email to the Sunday bosses, they asked if I wanted to do it. Why, of course! So it was during my staycation that I went to the restaurant. You can read the review here, if you'd like:). And here are the photos I took there.
The interior of the restaurant and the lady of the chef:)
The amazing chandelier. This is actually taken by the chef. He was so excited to see my red camera. I think he's going to buy one:P
These are just the appetizer, not the main course. Yum!
Heavenly treats in a plate. My favorite is the finger-shaped one, it is filled with cheese.
Somehow I missed taking photo of the main course. But the dessert is always in my mind:)
