In this episode of Hammy Eats, Nick Hamman visits Lokkum, a hidden gem in Norwood Johannesburg, South Africa serving up authentic Turkish food the way it’s been done for thousands of years.
Run by passionate Turkish chef, Mikdat Şeker who brings generations of family recipes to life, Lokkum is more than just a restaurant, it’s a window into the heart and soul of Turkey, right here in Mzansi.
From homemade Van cheese only found in one Turkish city to creamy traditional yoghurt, Menemen, Sujuk with eggs, and flaky börek (aka spanakopita’s Turkish cousin), this is a breakfast feast like no other.
🍳 Nick gets a taste of:
• A rare handmade cheese from Van, Turkey
• Fresh Turkish cream served with local honey
• Menemen (Turkey’s answer to shakshuka)
• Sujuk & eggs – the ultimate spicy, meaty brunch
• Homemade yoghurt and butter the traditional way
• Warm bread, cucumbers, tomatoes & olives,
• the Turkish essentials Crispy, golden börek with feta and spinach
We dive deep into the rich culture of Turkish food, especially breakfast, the importance of family cooking, and how Lokkum acts as a cultural hub for South Africans wanting to explore Turkey through its food, and maybe even plan a trip!
🥄 What makes Turkish breakfast one of the most legendary in the world?
🇹🇷 Why do they say “meat so soft, it’s like Turkish delight”?
🔥 And can Nick keep up with the spice and flavour bombs coming out of this kitchen?
👉 Watch now to discover one of the most flavourful and heartfelt meals you’ll find in SA.
👍 Like the video if you love breakfast that’s more than just toast
