Chicken, fetta, and herbs wrapped in soft dough.

gozleme

... read on... for the best Gozleme, I've had so far... at the end of this post, and if you know of any, do drop me a line.

I had my first bite, my first taste of Gozleme, eight years ago, at this particular Kebab shop near my place...
I would definitely order one whenever I happened to be in that shopping centre around lunchtime... unfortunately, the quality soon dwindled... Their Gozleme may have the look and shape ... but it lacked flavours, the filling was barely there..., and all I could taste was just the golden brown cooked dough with a tangy sourish taste of lemon...

H tasted that flat Gozleme... 'and never again would I want to eat that piece of crap again...'H lamented.
Gozleme has become "the bad word" in his food vocabulary... he wasn't interested...not even when I said 'I'll make some...' ..... He was so not in favour ...


Turkish flatbread with fillings

My quest for a good Gozleme did not just die there... I have tried Gozlemes in many 'Kebab' shops... around Perth Northern, I have tried the one in Fremantle E-shed...
Most of the Gozlemes I tasted, couldn't match the one 8 years ago... I nearly gave up, thinking that perhaps that good Gozleme can only be achieved at home.... I still need to coax and convince that someone ...who I shall not mention here, again

All was not lost... I finally found the best Gozleme ... hers was the best! Judging by the long queue during lunch crowd, I wouldn't be far off if I said that... it's the Real Deal...and surprisingly H agrees!!!...generous with the filling and quite sizeable too...


If you are in Perth... do try out this Turkish treat in Harbour Town (opposite Lorna Jane)...

This is my version of Gozleme...superb for a BBQ get-together.


Wishing everyone who is celebrating
Have a happy wonderful
Eid~ul~Adha
