Baklava - delicious |
Hello Sydney! As restrictions are being lifted, I'm still proceeding with caution so I decide for a small drive and some take away from Manoosh Pizzeria in Waterloo. I've been craving some delicious Lebanese pizza.
As a side dish, Mr Weekend Food Escapes is eager to try the Pumpkin Kebbeh (5 for $9). The Pumpkin Kebbeh is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a dominant chickpea flavour. I could not taste the pumpkin as much but you can see the orange colour in the middle. I recommend you order the garlic dip to accompany the Pumpkin Kebbeh. I was cheeky though and I dipped the pizza into the garlic sauce which was delicious.
Now for my favourite highlight of the meal, I order a Zaatar Beirut Style ($8). The Zaatar wrap encases halloumi cheese, tomato, grilled white onion and chilli flakes. First of all, I have to admit that I love Zaatar wrap which is a flakey soft wrap bread with a ground of spices of thyme, sesame seeds, sumac. The halloumi adds a nice salty intensity and adds to the zaatar flavours. I love it. I recommend.
Mr Weekend Food Escapes orders the Flaming Peri Peri Falafel Wrap ($9.50) with a zatar base ($1). This wrap encases falafel which is drenched in that Peri Peri mayonnaise sauce which is relatively mild. I really like the soft wrap bread and the zaatar makes for a more interesting flavour combination.
For dessert, I am looking forward to the Baklava ($3.50). This Baklava is absolutely delicious!!!! I bite into the baklava and experience the crunchy textures and I enjoy the syrup drenched chopped nuts. This was a flavour party in my mouth. I wish I ordered more than one piece. I highly recommend.
