What should I order on a first visit to  LA MOLU?
On a first visit to  LA MOLU, start with the signature dishes. In the morning, that's the traditional Turkish breakfast or Chef Ayşenur's Huevos Rancheros, a Mexican breakfast. Later in the day, go for the 18-hour sous-vide beef pide. For dessert, choose the syrup-free Tahinli Kuru Baklava or the no-bake  LA Blue cheesecake, with a Turkish coffee.
What makes  LA MOLU's baklava different?
Most baklava is soaked in sugar syrup.  LA MOLU's Tahinli Kuru Baklava is made without it: "kuru" means dry in Turkish, and tahini takes the syrup's place. The result is crisp pastry layers with a lighter sweetness and a toasted sesame flavour. Chef Ayşenur, who trained in pastry at Le Cordon Bleu, created it as one of  LA MOLU's signature desserts.
What's the difference between pide and gozleme?
Both are Turkish flatbreads, made in different ways. Pide is a boat-shaped bread baked with a topping, and at  LA MOLU it's topped with beef cooked sous-vide for 18 hours. Gözleme is thin dough rolled out by hand, filled, folded and cooked on a griddle.  LA MOLU makes its gozleme fresh to order.
