Must-try desserts at the Food Festival - QIFF 2024

 1 .Japanese Cheesecake  

I'm a huge fan of Japanese cheese cakes .This one was absolutely brilliant. A delightful treat that won't spike your blood sugar but still satisfies your sweet tooth.This dessert strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and creaminess, just the way I like it.

2 .  The Omani  Halwa 


The Omani Halwa is known for its stickiness and intense sweetness. It's a popular treat that is typically enjoyed in small portions. The taste has a certain enchanting Middle Eastern charm that takes me back to ancient times to the tales of the Arabian nights.I bet even princes like Badr el budur used to savor this delightful treat.
It is a must . It came in pretty ceramic pots for QAR25 .
We had it at home with some ginger coffee .Just a couple of spoonfuls if you're watching your waistline.

3 . Um Ali at Sheraton Stall


The Hotel Sheraton's food festival stall had a single, exclusive dish on offer.
For QAR 29 for " the most delightful Um Ali in Qatar". I guess they got this title from a review site on the net .
Next time I go to the festival I might try it .
If you find yourself at the festival and haven't experienced this delightful Egyptian twist on bread and butter pudding, give it a try!
