*Slurp slurp*
Two unique qualities that distinguish Turkish ice cream: 1) texture 2) resistance to melting. Salep, a flour made from the root of the Early Purple Orchid is used as a thickening agent, and mastic(a resin) that gives it the chewiness.

Located in the hustle and bustle of XiMenDing, this modern toilet restaurant adds a unique touch to our dining experience. The checkered tile covered walls are adorned with showerheads, while plungers hang from the ceiling along with fæces-shaped lights. The chairs are actual non functional toilets, dishes are served on plastic miniature toilet bowls, and drinks in miniature urinals. The perception of toilet being an unpleasant and unhygienic place was totally put off.
