I recently had this delicious dessert called a Basboosa at Zahav Restaurant in Philadelphia PA. I never had a basboosa before and also never heard of such a dessert so I looked it up to see wtfork a basboosa is.

The basboosa is a small cake that’s popular in Middle Eastern Countries. It made of cooked semolina and soaked with a simple syrup and is often but not always topped with an almond.

In Arab Countries coconut is a popular flavor and often orange flower water or rose water is a part of the syrup.

And That’s WTFork a Basboosa is.
