Turkish cuisine is referred as one of the world’s three major cuisine types, along with Chinese and French cuisines. Turkey has a long history of food culture which is both diverse and inclusive. However, in the eyes of many Hong Kong people, Turkish cuisine is no more than kebab. In fact, healthy vegetarian food can also be featured in Turkish cuisine. Buran came to Hong Kong from Turkey after he met his wife Grace. He opened a restaurant in 2009 and later moved it from Mong Kok to Ma Wan. The restaurant features vegetarian dishes, and he wants to promote the taste of his homeland. Apart from running a restaurant, Buran also organises various workshops for handicrafts such as making desserts and Turkish lamps and lanterns, so as to share the happiness and knowledge with people around him. For Buran, the most important issue is to teach people how to make Turkish sand coffee. In recent years, he has been keen on the coffee culture that has been inscribed onto the UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and he hopes to promote this brewing skill.
