What a day,what a day,what a day!After arriving in Alexandria Tuesday night,i wake up about 9am make a call to a friend of a friend who is going to give me the tastes of this beautiful seafood city.Its 11AM and a young gentleman by the name of Tyson who is originally from Seattle now lives here with his wife Olla who is from here for the last four years.We shake hands and head out to begin our journey.First stop,breakfast.We arrive at a busy but small place called Muhammed Ahmed.A typical egyptian breakfast includes;pickled baby eggplant,pickled carrots and cucumber,pickled beets,Fuul Iskanderani which is fava beans topped with diced tomatoes,and tahina,pita bread of course,and a omelette of some sorts,we chose the spanish omelette.Its a full house here all the time because of the reputation as being the best to come for breakfast.Everything made sense as the aged cheese and the pickled veg along with the warm pita was the perfect combo.To finish the we had a cup of turkish coffee.Yes,Tarik was drinking coffee.Quite good,a bit sweet but thick.We finished about 80%percent of our meal and headed to the next place.So make sure you come here for breakfast first before anywhere else.SHUKRAN Muhammad Ahmed (That's thank you in arabic).
