"In the beginning, I was accustomed to turkey (Turkey) food. I cooked a lot of food until I melted the bread. I drank a cup of tea and dropped sugar. I ate pork and seafood. But I started to feel like bean curd and eggplant. Rong's whole sauce is delicious and starts to love Turkish food more and more. "Grace pointed out that Turkish food is very different from Chinese food, but there are also many types of soups, such as traditional red lentil soup, tomato soup, Wheat soup, and even cheese frozen soup.
