&lt;/figure&gt;


&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m ashamed to say that it took me almost one month to discover this sweet, cheesy dessert after moving to Jordan. Originally from &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nablus&#34;&gt;Nablus&lt;/a&gt;, a Palestinian city apparently known for &amp;ldquo;high cuisine,&amp;rdquo; &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanafeh&#34;&gt;kanafeh&lt;/a&gt; is one of those things that they just can&amp;rsquo;t make fast enough. At one famous shop called Habibah in downtown Amman there is always a line, and it&amp;rsquo;s even a bit stressful ordering there unless you know what you&amp;rsquo;re doing!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another good place to buy kanafeh is at a sweets shop called Nafeesah. Both it and Habibah have several shops around the city, but I&amp;rsquo;m still not sure which one is better.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Red, Orange, and Yellow Rice at Bab al-Yemen</title>

    &lt;/figcaption&gt;
    
&lt;/figure&gt;


&lt;p&gt;You haven&amp;rsquo;t lived until you and your friends have eaten seventeen different colors of rice, meat, and sauces while sitting on the floor at the &lt;em&gt;Bab al-Yemen&lt;/em&gt; restaurant in Amman. If my experience is anything to go by, every item on the menu is downright delicious — including the humongous, flame-kissed flatbread that would be almost as fascinating to see being made as it was to eat.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;h4&gt;Everybody likes baklava!&lt;/h4&gt;
        
    &lt;/figcaption&gt;
    
&lt;/figure&gt;


&lt;p&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s a shop in one of Amman&amp;rsquo;s downtown markets that sells traditional sweets. I&amp;rsquo;m not sure who was more excited about this half kilo of &lt;em&gt;baklawa&lt;/em&gt; — me, or the jovial young Jordanian selling it.&lt;/p&gt;
