My roommate and I found a bakery on the outskirts of the neighborhood we live in. I have no idea what the name is or what we have been buying from them, but they have the most delicious sweets in the world. We found this gem while taking a walk the other night. Our run to the ATM turned into a junk food haul.
When you first enter the bakery you will see plates of cookies wrapped in plastic wrap, a soda machine, and then on your right a wide array of Jordanian baked goods. Almost everything is covered in honey or pistachios and the smell is incredible. The man that works there is very nice and tries to show us whats really really good out of all the treats they offer. On our first trip we bought Kanafeh ( which I spoke about in a previous post) and these desserts that taste like pancakes drenched in real maple syrup. We bought a total of 6 and I spent 1 JD ( $1.44 USD)! We have been there two more times since this initial experience and each time we try new things. Finding this bakery meant a lot to me. I really wanted to come to Jordan and experience different aspects of the culture and life here. I found out later that night that this bakery is the same place my host family goes to, which started a whole conversations. Food always bring people together and it helps create memories. They'll be plenty more posts about this particular bakery and eventually I will remember the name.
