< p > I’ m ashamed to say that it took me almost one month to discover this sweet, cheesy dessert after moving to Jordan. Originally from < a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nablus" > Nablus< / a > , a Palestinian city apparently known for “ high cuisine,” < a href = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanafeh" > kanafeh< / a > is one of those things that they just can’ t make fast enough. At one famous shop called Habibah in downtown Amman there is always a line, and it’ s even a bit stressful ordering there unless you know what you’ re doing!< / p >
