Pomegranate Pistachio Turkish Delight with Rose Petals Looking just as good as they taste, Mediterranean Delights, located at Orchard Exchange, had a splendid display of Lokum (Traditional Turkish Confections). Surprisingly balanced in sweetness and texture, they are mainly made with a gel of starch and sugar that are often flavoured with rosewater, mastic, bergamot orange or lemon.
Thus, after sampling the Pomegranate Pistachio Turkish Delight with Rose Petals ($7.70/ 100 gram), I couldnât resist getting a couple of pieces home as snacks for tea time. Though the initial flavour of the rosewater was strong, the subsequent bites do get better with the crunchy nuts. It also had a really pleasant fruity and floral aftertaste.
Embellished in a vibrant exterior of crushed pistachio, I also bought the Double Pistachio Turkish Delight with Pistachio Powder($7.70/ 100 gram) which was evidently more nutty. It too, had a subtle floral note as well as a nice soft-chewy bite to it.
