The Blue Elephant 2

When the film version of The Blue Elephant hit screens in 2014, the film quickly became a cult classic, gaining the love of audiences and show business icons alike. Written by Ahmed Mourad in 2012, the novel is a dark and twisted cautionary tale about loss, addiction, and inviting the spiritual world into your life, without considering the potential grave costs. Marwan Hamed’s masterful take starring Karim Abdel Aziz and Nelly Karim proved to be such an enormous hit five years ago, now the whole team is back for a second run this summer. We sat down with the stars to find out what is in store when The Blue Elephant returns.

New Menu at Kazoku in Swan Lake, New Cairo

To tantalize our taste buds, Chef Othman from Kazoku has rolled out a new menu to tempt us. Innovative, fun and a full sensory experience, it shouldn’t be missed. Browse an entirely new menu of what could be considered one of the best sushi restaurants in New Cairo, comprising of innovative and tasty sushi and Japanese cuisine.

Signature Dishes & Dishes Sampled

Signature dishes include the Grilled Wagyu Beef with Seaweed Butter, Smashed Potatoes and Lemon Ponzu Mayonnaise; Miso Glazed Black Cod with Honey Miso Sauce; Roasted Lobster with Chili Ponzu Butter; Chilean Sea Bass, Oven Roasted with Jalapeño and Ginger Sauce.

The temptation to order more than you could possibly manage is overwhelming. Everything on the menu simply screams out to be tried. Luckily, Chef Othman and the team at Kazoku have beautifully curated tasting menus to meet situations like this. Dishes complement each other, allowing a full experience and range of flavors and textures.

We launched our meal with a special nigiri selection. Fresh shrimp, sea bass, salmon and tuna, all delicately balanced on individual mounds of rice. The creamy wasabi, pickled ginger and soya sauce on the side worked perfectly. With a platter of moist, pink seared Salmon Tataki with Lemon Basil Soy and Mustard Miso, a generous portion of Chirachi Roll sushi, along with a ceviche of shrimp and octopus, coconut leche de tigre and grilled pineapple, we were kept busy until our other dishes arrived. Chilled Noodles may sound a little strange to the uninitiated, but teamed with slivers of peppers, crab and sea bass, they were heaven. The Lemon Ponzu dressing and onion crisps must be the secret.

By the time our Beef Gyoza and Corn with Herb Ponzu Butter arrived we were slowing to a more relaxed pace. Flavors were subtle but intense, a journey for our palates. The Grilled Rice Hot Pot with Lemon Dashi Broth was crammed with several types of mushroom, and filling. Teamed with panko-breaded Chicken Katsu with Japanese curry sauce and baby potatoes, we really had a challenge to finish our plates.

We did, however, save a corner for dessert. The Bento Box was a treasure trove. Four individual bowls, each with a mind-blowing sweet confection, from Matcha Brûlée, to Yuzu Lemon Curd with Sesame Nut Crumble, a decadently gooey Dark Chocolate Fondant with Caramel Popcorn and Chocolate Semi Fredo.

It was a challenge to budge from our very comfortable seats, so we sat back to absorb the great music and buzzing atmosphere before reluctantly heading home.

Other Menu Options that Appealed & Beverages Available

The Chilean Sea Bass caught our eye, but we would happily try anything on the menu, it all looked so good.

Beverage options include a well-stocked bar as well as soft options. The cocktail menu is divine and a ‘must try’.

Décor and Ambience

Chic, contemporary with just enough visual interest in the form of beautiful pottery to bring an authentic Japanese mood. Good background music that amped up as the Kazoku filled up with eager diners. Seating options vary, with high tables, bar seating, and some tables outside, overlooking greenery and attractive water features.

Clientele mix: Sophisticated 25+ crowd who know where to find great food.

Price range: High end, but so worth the indulgence.

Worth noting: Even on a week night we saw the restaurant fill up quickly, so reserve in advance.

New Menu at The Birdcage, Semiramis InterContinental

As summer temperatures start to soar, so does our craving for fresh and spicy food. With that in mind, it was time to check out the new dishes at our favorite haven for what could easily be called the best Thai restaurant in Cairo, The Birdcage.

New on the menu: Kai Hor Bao Toey (Fried Chicken in Pandan Leaves), Kai Priow Wan (Fried Chicken in Sweet and Sour Sauce), Molten Chocolate Cake with Caramel.

Dishes Sampled

One of the loveliest things about dining Thai-style is the thoughtful addition of little elements to whet your appetite. Like the fresh pineapple and mint drink that came to the table as soon as we had settled into our chairs, and the generous plate of shrimp crackers with sweet and sour sauce and coriander dip that we nibbled on while perusing the menu.

We were set on trying something from the new items, along with some old favorites, so we went for Kai Hor Bao Toey, Koong Sai Mai (Deep Fried Konafa-Wrapped Marinated Shrimps with Thai Herbs), and Som Tam Thai (Green Papaya Salad with Peanuts). The pandan wrapped chicken was a work of art; each chunk of marinated tender flavor-packed chicken was delicately presented in its own individual leaf wrapping, a treat for the eyes as well as the palate. Each dish came with accompanying dips and sauces, complementing the balance of spice and flavor. Chef Narong also brought us a dish of fresh chili sauce to add even more fire if we needed it.

Spicy it was, but that served to enhance rather than overpower the subtlety of the amazing spices in the dishes. Our main dishes of Kai Priow Wan and Neau Pad Namman Hoy (Stir-Fried Beef Fillet with Oyster Sauce, Ginger and Vegetables) arrived with individual bowls of perfectly steamed rice, and were melt-in-the-mouth. The presentation of every dish added to the enjoyment, we could feel the care that had gone into everything.

Allowing for a twist of the arm, we indulged ourselves in two scrumptious desserts, Kloy Tod (Banana with Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice-Cream) and Molten Chocolate with Caramel. No regrets at all, may we add.

Other Menu Options that Appealed & Beverages Available

The Bento combinations look tempting, as do Chef Narong’s Degustation menus. Beverage options include a full bar in addition to juices and soft options.

Décor & Ambience

Contemporary with Thai elements, creating a relaxed mood.

Clientele Mix & Price Range

Hotel guests and a good showing of local residents who come for great Thai food. Price range is on the higher end, but totally worth the splurge.

Opening hours: 1 pm to 4 pm. Dinner 7 pm to 11:30 pm.

New Menu at ONE OAK in Majarrah

If you’re searching for a large and airy space for your next outing with friends and family, ONE OAK’s new branch in Majarrah aims to be one of the best restaurants in Sheikh Zayed and offers just the right atmosphere and menu for a variety of cravings. Boasting a large selection of appetizers, salads, grilled meats, poultry, seafood and sushi menus – there really is something for everyone at this Cairo food scene favorite.

New on the menu: Mix Satay, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Lobster Pasta, Japanese Cheesecake, Fried Banana Wrap, Maltesers & Twix Tart, and several new sushi items.

Signature Dishes & Dishes Sampled

Signature dishes include the Fried Prawns Cocktail, The Skewers Family, The Black Stone Steak Grill, Gourmet Burgers, Lobster Pasta, and the sushi menu.

After whetting our appetite with the yummiest cinnamon and brown sugar butter and bread rolls, we explored the menu while snacking on delicious steamed edamame beans. We quickly selected and tucked into an array of starters; six hand-rolled dumplings stuffed with beef, chicken, shrimp and served with a trio of sauces: sesame oil, soy sauce and sweet and sour sauce; followed by a hearty Rocca salad packed with finely sliced arugula, mushroom, green apples, parmesan cheese, and topped with crunchy caramelized walnuts and black balsamic dressing: the perfect option for a light and healthy lunch.

Next came the 12-piece combo platter of signature ONE OAK sushi: two salmon nigiri, two shrimp nigiri, four crispy rolls, and four Philadelphia rolls. The sushi lives up to its reputation of being fresh and flavorful, and serves as a great as a starter to share between friends.

Our main courses swiftly arrived next, the Beef Teriyaki and the Sesame Ginger Salmon. The thinly sliced steak glazed with a savory teriyaki sauced and seared in sesame oil with green onions was beautifully presented and cooked perfectly to order. The meat was tender with a generous serving of sticky teriyaki sauce and was accompanied with a side of plain rice.

Similarly, the grilled salmon fillet was flakey and tender; marinated in sesame, ginger and lemongrass and served on a bed of asparagus and a side of chunky sautéed vegetables. The vegetable offered just the right amount of bite, and thankfully didn’t arrive soggy or overcooked.

To cap up a delightful meal, a shared portion of delicious chocolate cake with ice cream satisfied the sweet tooth craving along with a much-needed cappuccino.

Menu Options that Appealed & Beverage Options

The grilled meats section seemed tantalizing, along with the Thai Shrimp Coconut soup, Salmon Tartare salad, and the Japanese Cheesecake.

Beverages available include a large selection of soft drinks, fresh juices, smoothies, non-alcoholic cocktails, and hot beverages are available.

Decor & Ambience

This large space has an industrial feel with modern furnishings. Cast iron light fixtures throughout offer adequate lighting without being too harsh, and the music is pleasant and not intrusive. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating with a large breezy terrace for those hot summer nights, with an array of seating options for  different sized groups. The service on a weekday was impeccable and attentive.

Price range: Above average, but worth the money for the quality of food.

Tabibi: Seniors and the Risk of Hyperthermia in Summer

Summer time is a time for fun and relaxation for most people. But for seniors, who have a higher sensitivity to heat, a little more caution needs to be exercised to avoid any health problems. Older people are at significant increased risk of heat-related illnesses (collectively called hyperthermia) during the summer months. Hyperthermia ranges from mild conditions, such as a rash or cramps, to serious and potentially life-threatening conditions such as heatstroke.

Factors that increase the risk of hyperthermia in elderly people include:

  • Age-related changes such as poor blood circulation and inefficient sweat glands.
  • Heart, lung, and kidney diseases, as well as any illness that causes general weakness or fever.
  • High blood pressure or other conditions that require changes in diet, such as salt-restricted diets.
  • Certain medications such as diuretics, sedatives, tranquilizers, and certain heart and blood pressure drugs which can hinder the body’s ability to regulate temperature.
  • Taking several drugs for various conditions, (it is important, however, to continue to take prescribed medication and discuss possible problems with a physician.)
  • Living alone: some older people are frail or have reduced mobility or have a mental illness which makes it difficult to take adequate care of themselves in hot weather, and they may ignore symptoms of hyperthermia.

To reduce risk of hyperthermia, remember to:

  1. Stay hydrated

Your feeling of thirst often decreases as you age. So don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. By the time you feel thirsty, you may already be dehydrated. Aim to drink 6 to 8 cups of water a day. If you intend to spend much time out in the sun, you may want to aim for a higher number of cups to avoid dehydration. If you have a kidney condition, you need to talk to your doctor before you increase the amount of fluid you drink.

Avoid drinks containing alcohol or caffeine as they increase the water excretion from the body.

  1. Stay cool

Draw your blinds and curtains, and turn on your air conditioner. Try to limit your outdoor activities and stay in the shade. You don’t always feel the effect the sun is having on you in the moment.

Taking tepid (not too cold or too hot) showers can help you cool down. If not easy, you can wet washcloths or towels with cool water and put them on your wrists, ankles, armpits, and neck.

  1. Dress lightly

Whenever you can, wear loose, light-colored clothes (dark-colored clothes absorb heat). Top it off with a lightweight, broad-brimmed hat

If you are travelling for a summer vacation, additional precautions are needed:

  • If you are travelling by car, stop for a rest at least every two hours. Frequent leg movement is important to avoid stagnation of blood in the lower extremities which can cause heaviness, swelling and increased risk of blood clots.
  • Make sure you have essentials :
  • A sufficient supply of your medications in a secure pillbox.
  • Sun protection items such as sunscreen and a hat
  • First-aid kit
  • Emergency numbers
  • Know medical facilities at your destination.
