Turkish Breakfast at Bussorah Street Halal, Traditional, Unhurried
Most breakfasts in Singapore are done in 20 minutes. The Turkish version takes a different approach.
At Zuzu, next to Sultan Mosque on Bussorah Street, we serve a traditional Serpme Kahvaltı - the full Turkish breakfast spread that covers the table with small dishes and keeps them coming until you decide you have had enough. White cheese, olives, clotted cream with honey, fresh breads, menemen (eggs simmered in spiced tomato), and continuous tulip glasses of Turkish tea. Everything served halal, from a kitchen that prepares Turkish and Mediterranean food for dine-in and islandwide delivery.
This is a morning meal designed for sharing. The best version of it involves people who are not in a hurry.
What Is Serpme Kahvaltı?
The word kahvaltı in Turkish means "before coffee" a clue about how central breakfast is to Turkish culture. Serpme translates roughly as "scattered" or "spread out," which describes the format: instead of one main plate, the table fills with a rotating series of small dishes, each one meant to be explored alongside the others.
A Turkish breakfast spread at Zuzu includes:
- White cheese — firm, mildly salty, similar to feta
- Olives — black and green varieties, cured and seasoned
- Kaymak with honey — Turkish clotted cream, thicker than butter, served with a floral honey
- Fresh breads — soft pide-style flatbreads and sesame-crusted rings
- Menemen — eggs scrambled with tomatoes, green peppers, and spices in a small skillet
- Fresh vegetables — sliced cucumber, tomato, fresh herbs
- Turkish tea — served hot throughout the meal in traditional tulip glasses
Budget at least 60 to 90 minutes. The spread is designed to fill the table and be eaten slowly.
