Turkish Delight

Finally!

Had a chance to try turkish delight.
First came across this confectionery in The Chronicles of Narnia.
Have been wanting to try it out.

Tadaa..
This was what I bought.
Was at Sunway Giza, Kota Damansara last night. Went into Village Grocer to check out the stuff. Love the things there. Most are imported and it's really fun checking out things that you don't usually find anywhere else.

Well, turkish delight is actually a jelly-ish kinda thing. Really sweet and had "perfume-like" smell.
Found in wikipedia that most are made with rose water. That probably explains the perfume smell.

Apparently the premium versions are made with either dates, pistachios, almonds etc. Saw the pistachio version in a middle eastern shop but did not have the courage to try. Doesn't look very appealing.

Anyway, it's fun trying something new but would not buy it again.
