Bouza 3a Kousa and Other Weird Flavors at Fadi Fruits

By on April 21, 2017 in Food

Fadi is a quite popular fruit and vegetable store in Jnah that has been recently making rounds around social networks for the zucchini-flavored ice cream. The thing eventually went viral simply because “bouza 3a kousa” has been always regarded among the least appetizing things to try.

And it seems like he’s intending to continue with these weird flavors! Over the last few days he posted about spicy chocolate ice cream, and just today he added a new beetroot flavor!

Aside from ice cream, Fadi is well known by the way for the high quality vegetables (at a relatively high price) and the seasonal products that you can’t easily find in other stores.

Costco in Beirut

By on January 10, 2012 in Lebanon

I’m pretty sure it’s not the real Costco, but it does exist, and it has the major American products you might be looking for.

The place is located in Jnah, and I went there last Sunday after a friend told me about it. They have a variety of products ranging between clothing, food and home goods. Part of these available products (especially food) can be found at other large supermarkets like Spinneys, at almost the same price if not lower, while other stuff cannot be found anywhere else and are a bit pricey.

Note that Costco is not the only store of its kind there in the area. There’s another place called “Amtrag” located just next to Costco, in addition to a store called “Brands for less” known for importing the German brand “Tchibo” located 100 meters down the road from TSC Jnah. I believe they’re all worth a visit!

Below is a map showing where Costco is in case you want to check it out.

How can you eat this?!

By on September 2, 2010 in Lebanon

I saw this pack of “Fesikh” (Dry fish preserved in salt) at TSC Plus Jnah. The second I held it in my hand I felt a shitty smell invading my nose even though the fish were still enclosed in nylon!

To my knowledge, Fesikh is very popular in Egypt especially during Sham El-Nessim, I wonder how the hell can Egyptians eat such thing!
