Cafe Le Caire

I was at work and out of a sudden, I had a craving for something exotic, something middle-eastern. I flashed my colleague, N the "I AM CRAVING" look (by the way, she's the only one at work who knew about my food blogging activities). She smiled knowingly and I knew exactly where we were headed to...Cafe Le Caire, here we come!

We were both starving when we got there so we didn't miss a beat when the food arrived (that explains why I didn't have the pics of  the other dishes that we had) . Everything was yummy but surprisingly, the dish that had the greatest impact on me was our last (and the cheapest!) dish that we ordered - Foul Mesdammes.

Foul Mesdammes - $4.50

This chef recommended dish is made from slow-cooked fava beans that has been mashed. It's served with a side of Arabic bread for you to soak it in the rich and flavourful gravy. It's normally eaten for breakfast in Egypt but you can serve me this dish at any time of the day!
