✨️Eid Mubarak to All ✨️
在台灣過Ramadan 齋月 真的挺辛苦的~
因為工作時間并不會縮短,但在許多阿拉伯國家,上課、上班時間會有所不同。在台灣讀大學時封齋覺得還好,並不是什麼問題。 如果在家鄉過的話,相當於台灣的大節日,放炮🎉,放煙火🎆,走親戚和朋友、拿錢💸🎁、還有各種零食和甜點🥰哦!不講了。Anyways,😆今年的Ramadan感覺比以往的快許多,不是才開始嗎?怎麼那麼快就開齋節呀~
.........以下是齋月的含義.......
Ramadan是一整個月時,開始和結束都是按照阿拉伯的月曆,(看月亮🌙)每天要在太陽出來前,吃些食物,等日出就不能進食了,直到日落才能吃喝。沒錯!你沒看錯!就是吃還有喝都不行!
所以才會說這比飢餓24小時還厲害!
許多人常常會問我,這樣好殘忍呀😱那麼為什麼你們要怎麼做呢?
Well, 封齋有許多含義,許多宗教都有這個‘’封齋‘’。只是有沒有持續的去實行就另當別論了。
那我們主要原因之一,是體會窮人的感覺,(同理心)。沒錯,封齋不是為了個人卻求(減肥等),而真正的平窮人或災區的難民,他們的一天有食物,就要謝天謝地了,何況是水,不見得有水能喝!有髒水他們就很開心的喝了!他們要這樣是一輩子的,除非有變動,那我們這算甚麼呢?才十幾個小時呢!
................
好啦!為了慶祝開齋節,今天我來介紹的是:
Kunafa 庫納法 Kunāfah(阿拉伯語: كُنَافَةٌ),
是黎凡特的傳統甜點,也是著名的中東甜品。

中文版的🎥請點影片

Let's talk about Kunafa!
If you’re not familiar with kunafa, it’s quite simply a dessert pie and there are many variations across the Arabic restaurants in town. So there’s crunchy crust or soft, there’s cheese or clotted cream, the Egyptians even do versions with mango or banana and now they even made a taro kunafa! Now you find kunafa in lots of social media 's trends. such as the Dubai chocolate. This isn't just a regular sweet. Kunafa is a historical sweet. It has been out for centuries. Some also say that kunafa originated from Nablus, a city in Palestine, or Egypt in the 15th century. Furthermore, some accounts claim it dates back to the Umayyad period when it was eaten as a full suhoor meal (the morning meal before fasting for Ramadan begins) in Damascus.
So, what is this Kunafa?
well, most kunafas are stacked or filled with either cheese or cream, then steeped in a sugar syrup perfumed with rose water or orange blossom water and topped with crushed nuts,such as pistachios.

Where can I find Kunafa?
Popular in the Arab world, particularly the Levant, Egypt, and, of course, Palestine, other varieties of knafeh can also be found in Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans. the most traditional ones are the one in Palestine , Jordan, Egypt, Turkey and Lebanon.

特別的起司所做成的,台灣沒有,而且許多起司或種類,翻譯成中文...怎麼都是奶油或奶壯起司等😅超難翻譯的
➡️Kunafa大部分所用起司名稱:
Akkawi or Nabulsi Cheese 🧀


白白的,QQ的,是不是很像豆腐🤣🤣🤣


最後送上自己在家裡做kunafa的影片✨️
我知道台北有幾家餐廳有賣Kunafa, 但在中東吃起來的味道還是最棒的!🥰🥰🥰 溫溫的加上超起司的味道!真的絕了! 下次再見✨️
ps 忘了說,最近流行的trend裡面的迪拜巧克力,其實就是把Kunafa包在巧克力裡。老闆娘說她懷孕時,又想吃 Kunafa,又想吃Chocolate,因此製作出了這個巧克力~
