Best Kunafe in Aman City



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanafeh

On the second day of our Jordan tour, Nabil, our guide challenged us to a quick food tour for our lunch. After a hefty lunch at the famous Hashem Restaurant, we walked down the street towards Habibah Alley to grab dessert just like locals. As we approached the alley, we started bumping into people standing around with plates, scooping out something like caramel topped with pistachios. 

This is the first time I tried a middle east dessert and threw in towel, and bowed to their sweet obsession. As an Indian, I was always mocked for my sweet tooth. Here, I felt that Indians and their crazy obsession with sugar is nothing!

There were a few varieties. What we have tasted was a very soft cheese, topped with deep fried crispy noodles dipped in thick sugar syrup and topped with pistachios. 

We felt that, the portion was big enough to be a snack not an after meal dessert. None of us could not complete our take. 

Next time, we will be prepared.

The worst place for Indian vegetarian snack in Singapore

As I go around looking for good food, I also try to taste Indian food
wherever it is available so as to know if I can recommend or suggest to my friends.

A few weeks ago I was at MBS with my family. I saw this 'Indian' food signage and went ahead thinking of getting some nice food. As I approached the place I saw that the majority food available was non-veg. I understand the biz angle. Its very hard to sell veg food and make money at places like MBS.

I went ahead and ordered Samosa which was the only vegetarian snack available and many people were also ordering. My expectation was that, at a place like MBS, definitely the food cannot be served mediocre whether it is a cozy restaurant or food court. But when I bit into the hot samosa, anticipating burst of flavours in my mouth, I faced a little disappointment.

The samosa was not cooked completely. If anybody, looking at its hot well done outer condition thinks that it is ready to eat and doesn't understand that the inside shouldn't be dry and taste, or feel or look like uncooked, will for sure end up with stomach ache or some other form of discomfort.

Its definitely not worth the money or the time spent waiting in que.
