On Friday we took a bus to Jaffa with the sole purpose of experiencing what was touted to be the best malabi ever.
We found some excellent bourekas along the way at a nearby shop also on Jerusalem Blvd. They were too hot to eat when we bought them so we let them cool a bit, then savored their delightfully flaky goodness before we moved a few doors down to our destination.
Some consider the best malabi in Israel to be right here at 94 Jerusalem Blvd. in Jaffa. The recipe is evidently Bulgarian, handed down through generations of the Levi family.
It's standing room only, and the choices are minimal as is often the case where the food is spectacular and specialized. We chose one traditional malabi with rose syrup and another chocolate with the same. The original was quite something and won hands-down, though the chocolate pretty good too.
