Mark Wiens was particularly impressed by the unique Alexandria-style breakfast, specifically the stuffed falafel that released a cloud of steam and melted cheese when opened. He noted the distinct difference in local food preparations, such as the blended texture of the fool and the use of light shami bread for rapid-fire sandwich tasting.
