I've always loved baklava, and here in Cairo, it tastes like absolute perfection. They pronounce it 'ba'lawa' and ten pieces cost me only 3EGP which is less than a dollar! For those who don't know what baklava is, it's made with layers of phyllo dough with honey syrup, chopped nuts and pistachio. Sticky sweet goodness. LOVE.
