A Turkish 'what I eat in a day' video from a student living in a state dorm (KYK) in Istanbul. Breakfast at the dorm was a large slice of spinach börek, fries, white cheese, green olives and a cup of black tea. She skipped eggs. Later she went out to Pablo café with her boyfriend to celebrate reaching 6,000 followers. They ate an almond-topped berliner together, and she drank an iced latte. Dinner at the dorm was tavuk pilav (chicken over rice) with an ayran. Back in her room she ate a small bowl of green grapes while friends visited.
