I love going to the bazaar which only exist during the fasting month of Ramadan. Lots of food, goodies, clothes, shoes..anything and everything we would need to prepare to celebrate after a month of fasting.
Here you can see LOTS of yummy snacks that we serve to guests that come to visit. Pretty much spoilt for choice.
From Wikipedia
The Spice Bazaar, (Turkish: 'Mısır Çarşısı', Egyptian Bazaar) in Istanbul, Turkey is one of the oldest bazaars in the city. Located in Eminönü, it is the second largest covered shopping complex after the Grand Bazaar. There are different accounts regarding the origin of the name of the bazaar. Various spices from the Orient were offered here in the past, Egyptian Bazaar was so named because the spices used to be imported from Egypt. On the other hand, in the Byzantine period, the site of the Spice Bazaar was the centre of corn trade. And the word mısır has a double meaning in Turkish: "Egypt" and "corn".
The Spice Bazaar was designed by the chief court architect Koca Kasım Ağa, but completed by architect Mustafa in 1660.
