I love Om Ali!! It's the richest desert I have ever eaten! Here in Dubai I could eat only at Fairmont in the lounge bar and I think at Crowne Plaza.

>>>Om Ali it means the mother of Ali,a woman has a son his name is Ali.
Legend has it that Om Ali was the first wife of the sultan Ezz El Din Aybek. When the sultan died, his second wife had a dispute with Om Ali, resulting in the second wife's death. To celebrate, Om Ali made this dessert and distributed it among the people of the land."
I don't know,this is what they said ...

>>>Mrs. Om Ali loves her son Ali too much,but he asks for milk every half an hour, so she add nuts, puff pastry, cream to make it heavy and give it to Ali every 4 hours...

By the way, when asked about the origins of the dessert this is the story I will tell my children and everybody else, and hopefully they will tell the same story, so in time the legend of the Om Ali dessert will change. Smile That's what I mean by 'let's change history', 'make a difference' ha ha
