Summary: This Beijing food note follows an afternoon at the International Silk Road Food Festival, with Palestinian sweets, Kazakh milk tea, and familiar halal stalls in the Jintaixizhao area. It keeps the source's restaurant names, dishes, and street-food details while presenting the account in clear English.

The International Silk Road Food Festival was held at the Fortune Center in Jintaixizhao this weekend. The Bengali stall Benjibi and the Egyptian stall Cleopatra, both regulars at food festivals, were there.







We got hungry at the Palestinian booth and ate the Palestinian national dish, chicken rolls (Musakhan), and the traditional Middle Eastern dessert, Umm Ali. A child also gave us some Palestinian coffee to drink.

Musakhan is known as the national dish of Palestine and is especially popular among Palestinians and Jordanians. Palestinians heat up freshly made flatbread (Taboon), then roll it with roasted chicken, onions, sumac powder, allspice, saffron, and fried pine nuts, all brushed with olive oil.

Umm Ali is made from puff pastry, milk, cinnamon, and pistachios. It is a classic dessert served at holiday gatherings in places like Palestine and Egypt. The name Umm Ali sounds strange, but it actually refers to the mother of Sultan Mansur Ali (who reigned from 1257 to 1259) of the Mamluk Sultanate. This story involves the change of dynasties between the Ayyubid Sultanate and the Mamluk Sultanate 700 years ago. In 1250, the last queen of the Ayyubid Sultanate, Shajar al-Durr, remarried the Mamluk Sultan Izz al-Din Aybak. In 1257, Shajar al-Durr assassinated Sultan Izz al-Din Aybak. The mother of the new Sultan, Mansur Ali, had Shajar al-Durr arrested and killed. To celebrate the death of Shajar al-Durr, Umm Ali made this dessert and handed it out to everyone. People say each serving contained a gold coin. Everyone who received the dessert shouted 'Umm Ali,' and that is how the dish got its name.

















We drank Moroccan tea provided by the Moroccan Embassy at their booth, and at the Kazakh dessert shop Bazaar Sweetheart, we had milk tea with butter and roasted rice, along with baklava filled with plenty of walnuts.

Bazaar Sweetheart is located in 798 and is the first Ili Kazakh dessert shop in Beijing. Their milk tea is delicious and has a very rich milky flavor.











There were also goods from Iran, Turkmenistan, and Afghanistan for sale at this food festival. If you have time, you can go check it out tomorrow. view all
