Döner

I bet it is hard to find this food in Asia especially in Indonesia (my homeland), Singapore, and Malaysia ( i said it is hard to find, it doesn't mean there isn't any)..
I mention only Singapore and Malaysia because those are only countries in Asia i had ever visited (pathetic???).

Well, Döner is one great food from Turkish kitchen.
This kind of food is very popular in Germany. It has been like an unstoppable fungus in these recent years as the döner shops grow faster than the local food restaurant.

It looks like this before it is sliced. Normally this seasoned meat is made from either chicken or lamb. this stack is usually made by a company and will be delivered to the sellers.
this stack of meat is cooked by radiant heat from a heater. it will spin to make sure every surface of this meat remains hot before it is sliced.
there are two methods of slicing this meat :
first is by using a very long sharp knife;
second is by using an electric knife, which seems to me like a hair shaver.


They serve it in many ways but there are three most popular döners, two of them are :

&

as you can see the left one is called döner kebab and the right one is named durum döner.

As far as i can spot they contain tomatoes, onion, cucumber, tzatziki (a white sauce), and green chopped vegetable ( i don't know the name of the vegetable LoL)

the third one is they serve it without the bread and the white wrappings, instead the sliced meat is served on a plate with french fries and tzatziki, it is called Döner Teller in German.
(Teller means plate).

hm... this food is always a choice if i don't know what to eat...
hahaha....
