One of the many reasons to visit Sydney is for @knafehbakery ; an outdoor bakery run from a converted shipping container decorated with street art. They serve the most delicious, sugar syrup covered warm knafeh you'll ever come across. For those who are unaware of what kanfeh is; knafeh is a Middle Eastern sweet cheese or cream dessert, topped with pistachios and drizzled with sugar syrup. It varies from region to region in the kinds of cheese or cream used. Did I also mention it's run entirely by bearded bakers who happen to break out into dance performances sporadically and are able to bring a smile to everyone's faces despite the long cues and tedious waiting times? They tend to change their location on a weekly basis and as a result Instagram/Facebook would be your bestfriend to determine where to track down these elusive Palestinian knafeh bakers. The knafeh pieces are $8 a piece however in my opinion its worth every penny the moment you first dip into the gooey, cheesy texture and salivate at the sugar syrup that embellishes the wholesome dessert.
