Makan Makan In Qatar - Sweet World

Bump into a newly open Arabic dessert shop at Al Sadd Doha. Well I did wanted to find dessert to bring back home for my cousin who asked for it last month or so. The shop look very clean and nicely design. Girly or cute I would say.

The shop have a lot of variety of dessert from such as typical Arabic dessert, baklava, Kunafah and to chocolate, cakes and ice cream. The person in charge or manager is very well manner and friendly in such he offered me 2 free sample of Kunafah. I didn't try their baklava which I wanted to buy but from the taste of Kunafah I had, I am betting their baklava will be good as well. Overall I do recommend people to try Sweet World at Al Sadd Doha. It is located just next to Al Sadd Mall.

Makan Makan in Qatar - Arabic Ice Cream - Bohsali Al-Kasr

I read a review that there is a place selling very good Arabic ice cream and it is located not far from where I stay. So I try to google for it and found very little result telling me where it is. I did suspect a place where I use to go and buy Baklava but I didn't make the effort to actually verify whether the place sell ice cream because all I know is they only sell patisseries and I didn't know the shop's name

So as I sitting in my friends car I stretch my neck high up when I am about to pass by that shop again I saw the signboard and the shop name match the one on Google. I purposely stop and tell myself is something I must try.

Going into the shop, the feeling is the same as my previous visit, the boss sitting at the counter look fierce as usual. We greet him but he didn't reply and we went ahead to have a friendly chat with the staff. Over the counter, I could see there are about 6 different flavor and there is only 2 that capture my eyes which is the green and the brown color ice cream. They do have other colors like yellow, red and so on but I skip those because it looks like they use a lot of food coloring and very sweet just by looking at it. So I pick the Green one which is what I intended to at the first place. The green one are pistachios ice cream and the brown one is almond ice cream which is very sweet as what the staff told me.

My first bite.... WOW... the ice cream is full of flavor. Smooth and creamy texture. It has fragrant smell as the ice cream is filled with crushed pistachio. We ordered medium size which is the size of a cup of steam corn you purchase outside. On the top of the ice cream the staff added more crush pistachio and that just make everything perfect.


Makan Makan in Qatar : Patisserie Suisse (Kunafah)

Just I was blogging about kunafah in my earlier post, my friend bought me a kunafah from this shop. I will keep this short as it ain't nice at all. I don't know the exact place of this shop but it is along Turkey Central.


Doesn't look good as well.

Makan Makan In Qatar : AL Nashama Sweets (Kunafah)

I probably have mentioned somewhere before that my favorite food/dessert in Qatar are kunafah and um ali (bread pudding) but kunafah would be my top pick. All this while I am only having kunafah when my colleague brought to work as I do not know which are the best. I did once follow a local Qatari recommendation for his choice of kunafah.. well is bad and expensive.

Anyway this shop Al Nashama aka Habibah serve good kunafah. As usual all shop sell two type of kunfah, one is the crispy crust of vermicelli which this shop version is the orange colored one and soft semolina dough and both cover with cheese which is the main ingredient and the type of cheese play a big role how the kunafah taste like.  There 2 more shop that I know serve good kunafah and I will post it up when I have try it.
