Couple of my friends took me to a turkish restaurant for my birthday this year. they ordered this crispy, flaky and sweet pastry and we were served a bubbling hot dessert that i used as a cake to blow the candle. the candle almost melted in the hot dessert. i was sold the minute i had my first bite it was sweet, crunchy, creamy and absolutely delicious. i heard the name of the dish but it hardly registered in my brain because i was busy eating it. then i saw usha's post for knafeh and then i realized that.
