Knafeh.
/kna-feh/· n. · Levantine Arabicfood
"Shredded pastry soaked in syrup, filled with soft white cheese."

Hot from the pan, gooey, sweet, with a gentle saltiness from the cheese. Ordered by the piece or by the kilo at Lebanese sweet shops. The Nablus version (from Palestine) is considered the original. What you'll find in Dubai is good. Best eaten immediately. Fights have started over whose recipe is better.
