I visited arab street today.
There were groups of students and tourist visiting the area as well.

Arab street are known for the fabric, turkish and malay cuisine. Quite a few eateries selling turkish food have opened up a restuarant there. One such cafe is '' Cafe Le Claire.''

I wonder how they got this name from. Perhaps the owner of this shop is called claire? There are actually 3 shops that are called cafe le claire but they all belong to the same company. You can choose to sit in any of the 3 cafes. They specialised in turkish food. What is common in turkish food?- Mezze platter and hummus.

I ordered a Arabic salad which comes with lots of diced tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, capsciums and feta cheese served in a bowl. The serving is huge and recommended for sharing. The ingredients are diced neatly and presentation is quite good as well. However, the dressing taste a little too sour. It has an acquired taste.

Worth a visit if you are a tourist or someone who wish to explore turkish cuisine.
