Zitat:Meet the Filipino chef behind TikTok’s viral Dubai chocolate bar
---
Originally sold by Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, “Can’t Get Knafeh of It” is the brainchild of Filipino chef Nouel Catis Omamalin and British Egyptian entrepreneur Sarah Hamouda, who partnered in 2021 to launch the company.
When Hamouda tapped Omamalin for his culinary expertise to create a chocolate bar brand that was “beyond ordinary,” he sought inspiration for his flavors through nostalgia.
“I always go back to the nostalgia of things, the childhood memories of a certain culture, even any culture in general,” he told Arab News. “It never goes wrong when you think about nostalgia.”
Omamalin thought of knafeh — the Middle Eastern dessert with chunks of pistachio enjoyed as a treat by Arab children — and how it had a particular crunch that lent itself well to chocolate.
“Everyone was just having the same kind of (chocolate) bar, and we thought, why not have a dessert in a chocolate bar? And knafeh is my favorite Arabic dessert,” he said.
“So, I thought, let’s try to fuse them, and the challenge was to make it like dessert on top of chocolate without making it too sweet. That’s how the pistachio knafeh came about, because this is something that I am really passionate about in the kitchen — to recreate how nostalgia in this region would be enjoyed in a different manner.”
