There's so many cool, hip (did i really just say that!), fancy, cheap, nice food places to try in Amsterdam. I am definitely a foodie and that's the first thing i'll want to try whenever I visit a place. I want to try it all. I definitely felt like a weekend in Amsterdam wasn't enough. I didn't even get to try the infamous Febo (vending machine style fast-food) because i was SO full the whole time. Oh well. Maybe next time eh.

So after being so inspired by Jess Beautican's wonderful 'what i eat in a day videos' where she features lots of mezze food, i finally got around to visiting a Turkish restaurant at long last. I was craving all the grilled veg, hummus, salads, peppers, potatoes etc. Did it satisfy? Yes it bloody well did.

La Turka

... is based in Manchester. We visited the one in Monton Village which is the newest to open. They describe themselves as a 'Turkish and Mediterranean restaurant'. They boast a fairly large menu with a wide range of everything from snacks - mezze platters - main meals and desserts. They even include a small vegetarian section in the main meals although, it isn't very vegan friendly. However, the starters and side dishes do have a few vegan options to mix and match. They also do breakfast and lunch. So you can go there anytime, any day!

But first, before i go on the food, i wouldn't be a blogger if i didn't show you my outfit would i?

Would i go back? 

How would i rate the food? 

Overall my food experience in Malaysia was interesting to say the last. I got to try so many new and different things some of which i loved and some of which i'm happy to leave behind (Durian and Roti). The food is so affordable over there, you can get a decent meal for like £1.50. It was astonishing. How could you resist? The food was a lot different than what i was expecting, a lot more fried, carb heavy and full of sugar. But there was a lot of healthy options if you chose that and we did enough walking to burn it off. I had noticed the university we stayed at was very health focused with motivational quotes printed on the walkway.

Stay tuned for my next Malaysia post where i'll share all the amazing touristy things we got up to.
