Recommended. It is much safer and easier to configure renewal domain using automatic payment. Sometimes we tend to forget although the domain registrar send notification email.

Restoren Ottoman Turkish Istanbul Cuisine dibuka di Horizon Hills, Johor Bahru merupakan restoren makanan Turki yang pertama di Johor. Cukup menyelerakan dengan sajian tradisi dan resepi asli dari sana buat rakyat Johor. Ada lebih 60 menu jenis masakan Turki yang disajikan di sini. Memang rambang mata kalau nak pilih yang mana satu untuk dimakan. Serius... sedap dan mengenyangkan.

Kali pertama menjejakkan kaki ke dalam restoren ini, Mia cukup teruja dengan dekorasi yang berkonsepkan ala-ala Turki dengan penataan cahaya yang kelam tetapi cantik menerangi setiap sudut di dalam restoren.
