Cafe Le Caire
39 Arab Street
6292 0979


I had a sudden craving for falafels today! The best place in Singapore for some good Middle Eastern cuisine is no doubt the Arab Street areas which is littered with numerous exotic cafes/restaurants.

 

Immediately, I knew what I wanted once the waitress passed us the menu. The Foul and Falafel set ($7.50) came with more pita breads than I could finish. Now, "foul" is not referring to the smell of this dish. Rather, it's the national breakfast dish of Egypt. I love this! The thick stew-like dip was wonderful paired with the pita bread. Slightly tangy, I could eat this on its own.


These little deep fried balls of spiced chickpeas satisfied my craving just fine. Moist on the inside, the outer part was just a tad dry but hey, I'm not complaining!


  
I'm so in love with falafels that I bought a pack of premix to make them at home so I can have them everyday! I can't wait to see how they turn out to be!

WELCOME!

In ancient Greek mythology, sirens are creatures which have the body of a bird and the head of a woman. They have such sweet voices that sailors who heard their songs were lured into grounding their boats on the rocks on which the nymphs sang.

To me, food are like the sirens in so many ways. Intoxicating, wonderful, beautiful and yet, so very deadly if you let them get the better of you. Food is a big part of my life and it’s meant to be appreciated and savored slowly. I admit that I am extremely particular about what I eat. If it’s not something I want to put in my body, I’d rather not eat. Some people eat to live while others live to eat. I’ve yet to discover which side of the camp I’m in… What about you?

I hope that you will enjoy reading about my food adventures as much as I like writing them. And many thanks to my family and friends who always wait patiently for me to take photos before digging in!
