Some people prefer having dessert before the main course, and probably because they say “life is uncertain, eat the dessert first.”

1. Baklava

Originating from the Middle East, Baklava is loved by people all over the world. You might have heard a Turkish say “I’m not rich enough to eat Baklava every day” which relates to the history of Baklava being reserved for wealthy families.
Made with a filling of almonds, pistachios, butter, and honey between layers of filo pastry, the dessert tastes as good it looks to the eyes. Baklava is now available in variants like walnut, dry baklava, milk topping, vegan and sugar-free, etc.

2. Ras Malai
