Selcuk, Turkey

After traveling through the middle east and Turkey I've found that my taste buds have changed. I'm extremely tired of tomato, cucumber, and hard boiled egg for breakfast. I used to avoid eating watermelon and eggplant/aubergine but find myself gorging myself with melon and trying different eggplant dishes.

Since we became a group of four our choice in food has been mezes. One: because it's easy to share, two: you get a variety of choices, three: it's vegetarian friendly. We found this place called Okumus Mercan Restaurant in Selcuk that serves these amazing meze dishes. We'd order maybe six dishes between the four of us and it was decently priced for good food. We actually ended up coming back here for dinner after scouring the town for another place with decent food.

Aubergine/Eggplant Melody


I don't have a picture of it, but one of the strangest things that we ordered and I ended up loving was this poached egg dish covered with yogurt and lemon juice. This isn't your typical type of yogurt you find in the states, or at least any that i've had before. Trust me, delicious.
