Dubai viral Kunafa cheese review 🤩

Dubai’s most popular street food dessert now available in Pavilion Bukit Bintang! Popularly known worldwide as it has caught up social media’s attention on the unique dessert made with loads of stringy cheese and some even portraying it with lots of caramel sugar, now it’s time for us to get a taste of it in Malaysia itself!

The store is located within Pavilion, in the ground floor @Pavilion Food republic or also popularly known as their food court. Their food court is well organised and clean, so do not worry if you’re not a fan of food court’s food cause this is a must try! (They serve all sorts of Arabian food and dessert)

Kunafa Cheese - It’s made with semolina and cheese, topped with crushed pistachios. The upper layer (the crust) i believe it is melted sugar and coconut which gives it all sorts of flavouring! Has a combination of rich, creamy salty and sweet flavours, the upper layer has a soft nutty-like texture, with the bottom layer soft and gooey. It’s my first time having troubles explaining the taste buds on this as it has no other comparisons to it. This is unique and I will surely recommend anyone which has the chance to give it a try!

The workers are very friendly and funny to customers too 🤪 The best part of it, they will perform how he will be able to pull the cheese whenever you start filming them!! I will surely be back to try the other desserts as this dessert was an eye opener to me to middle eastern desserts.

Do remember to share it at least with 2 people! It’s too sweet and filling and a little on the unhealthy side if you’re consuming it all alone 😣
