🇪🇬 EGYPT | UMM ALI
This episode of RiskyRoadz To The World Cup: we’re heading to Egypt.
After so many savoury dishes, it was time for something sweet… and what better choice than Umm Ali, Egypt’s most famous dessert.
And it tasted even sweeter after Egypt’s historic World Cup win over New Zealand — their first World Cup victory in 92 years.
From Mahmoud Mokhtar El Tetsh to Mo Salah. From the pyramids to the World Cup stage. Egypt’s football story is one of pride, patience and belief.
🍮 UMM ALI (EGYPTIAN BREAD PUDDING)
