Turkish traditions

Kerry Hotel Beijing has flown in guest chefs Harun Imre and Burak Kayalika from its sister hotel in Istanbul for a Turkish food festival through Sunday. It's an extensive spread of Turkish dishes offered for buffet lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch at the hotel. Created from centuries of Ottoman heritage, the country's cuisine combines the flavors of Central Asian, Middle Eastern and Balkan dishes, with yoghurt as one of the significant ingredients in dishes from robust griddled meats to aromatic rose desserts. Time-honored traditions such as Turkish coffee and Turkish ice-cream will also be offered. The winner of a lucky draw during the promotion will get airfare and hotel accommodation for a trip to Istanbul.
