5 Senses – Taste
TURKISH COFFEE
Traditional Turkish coffee is ‘black as hell,
strong as death and sweet as love’ according
to an old proverb, and served in small glasses.
Coffeehouses in Istanbul are generally rough-and-
ready places. Elegance is reserved not for the décor
but for the pastries full of nuts and honey, with
wonderful names such as ‘nightingale’s nests’ and
‘lady’s lips’. Traditional coffeehouses are also
the place for reading newspapers, playing
backgammon and enjoying a hubble-bubble.
Disajikan dalam gelas kecil, kopi tradisional Turki
“sehitam neraka, sekeras kematian dan semanis
cinta”, begitu menurut pepatah kuno. Kedai-kedai
kopi di Istanbul umumnya sederhana. Daya tariknya
bukan pada dekorasi, melainkan kue-kue isi kacang
dan madu dengan nama-nama cantik, seperti
“sarang burung bulbul” (bülbül yuvasi) dan “bibir
wanita” (dilber dudağı). Kedai kopi tradisional juga
tempat yang cocok untuk membaca koran, bermain
backgammon dan menikmati hookah.
