Buran came to Hong Kong from Turkey after he met his wife Grace. He opened a restaurant in 2009 and later moved it from Mong Kok to Ma Wan. The restaurant features vegetarian dishes, and he wants to promote the taste of his homeland. Apart from running a restaurant, Buran also organises various workshops for handicrafts such as making desserts and Turkish lamps and lanterns, so as to share the happiness and knowledge with people around him.
