All Things Sweet Our Ramadan Dessert Guide

Nothing tops off an iftar feast like a bite of quality dessert, so we have gathered some of the best places around town to satisfy those cravings.

8 Tips for Fueling Your Body Right in Ramadan

 

By Dana Dinnawi – Certified Health Coach

The absence of food and water that our bodies go through while fasting, leads to dehydration and blood sugar imbalances.  Which are normal and expected. However, the way we interpret these symptoms is what leads us to overeat and feel bloated, heavy, and lethargic after iftar.

The mass amounts of food we typically consume at iftar, although large in quantity, are usually lacking in quality. And this is key. When you haven’t eaten all day and your blood sugar is low, yes you will feel like all you need is sugar. But what your body needs is not sugar per se, but simply fuel. If you fuel yourself with good protein and vegetables, the feeling will go away. If you fuel your body with processed carbs and refined sugars, you will feel heavy and exhausted because these foods do not nourish your body on a cellular level.

And these foods will dehydrate you. Your body is already deprived of liquid all day and then you fill it up with foods that dehydrate even more. With each passing day, you will find your energy decreasing, your headaches increasing and your bowel movements becoming more irregular. I love Einstein’s quote, “Insanity is doing the same thing over and again and expecting different results.” If you want this Ramadan to be different, if you want to feel different, then you have to eat differently.

What Happens to Your Body When You Fast?

The gateway to your health is your digestion. Your digestive tract starts in the mouth and ends at the anus. Many people suffer from digestive upset somewhere along the tract, whether it is acid reflux, indigestion, constipation, diarrhea, or stomach cramps. So unless you balance your digestion, you will not be able to feel good during Ramadan, or any other time.

  • The most important tip I can give you is to not to eat everything at once. The main culprits that make you feel tired, sleepy and heavy after iftar are the grains and sugars. The grains (pasta, rice, breads) are naturally processed and not digested well by our bodies at any time of year. The meal will literally just sit in your stomach for hours, undigested and putrefying, which leads to bloating, constipation, headaches, dizziness, moodiness, and lack of energy.
  • Don’t mix proteins and starches. When you do that, you slow down your digestion and the food sits in your belly for many hours, causing discomfort. This is because proteins take the most time for the body to break down, so it’s best to combine them with easily digestible, leafy green or non-starchy vegetables that aid in the absorption process.
  • Grill or bake your proteins instead of deep-frying them and avoid breaded varieties. You can substitute almond flour or flax meal for flour.
  • Fill at least half of your plate with vegetables, whether a salad or cooked vegetables, or a combination of both.
  • Avoid any fruit with your meal. Fruit is made up of simple sugars that pass through the stomach easily and digest quickly. However, when they’re eaten with complex foods that take longer to digest, like protein and starches, fruit will linger in the stomach and start to ferment, leading to bloating or an upset stomach. Wait at least 3 hours after iftar to consume your fruits.
  • Use raw honey instead of traditional sugar syrup on your desserts
  • Avoid bread with your eggs or foul at sohour time, as bread is very dehydrating and as a result, will make you thirsty throughout the day. Instead, have your eggs with avocados, tomatoes and greens—all very hydrating.
  • Drink 2.5 liters of water between iftar and sohour

Qedra in Zamalek

We must admit; we had been big fans of traditional sandwiches. Until we tried Qedra for a cheap place to eat in Zamalek. Now we rank it right up there, alongside Mo Salah! Try great Egyptian food in Zamalek, Qedra’s sandwiches hit the spot without any heaviness or oily aftertaste. They are fresh, clean and super tasty, from the first to last bite.

Signature Sandwiches

Foul, in all its variations. Ta’ameya with Labna and Rocca, Spicy Ta’ameya, Omelette with Kiri.

Dishes Sampled

As soon as were hit by the aroma of the baladi bread cooking away in village-style oven it was a no-brainer. Forget about shami bread, baladi was definitely the way to go. The menu at Qedra is rich, but we decided to go with the popular choices of simple foul, ta’ameya, omelette, and fries. Please note at this point, we made the trip from the outer reaches of Cairo, and then waited in the mid-morning queue to pay for our order. That takes commitment and a hearty appetite.

The bread was just as we had hoped for, fresh from the oven and appetizing. Every filling was perfectly seasoned and in just the right-sized portion. The ta’ameya was fresh, with a crunchy casing and soft, lightly spiced interior. Nestled in the bread pocket, with crunchy ‘slaw and tahina it scored high points with us. The omelette was great as well. Again, the seasoning was spot on and there was no oiliness. The foul was a treat, and the spicy fries were hot, aromatic and filling. Well won over, we can see Qedra becoming an all-time favorite for us.

Other Menu Options that Appealed & Beverage Options

The homemade Baba Ghanoush sandwich, the White Cheese with Fresh Tomato, Olive Oil and Thyme and Foul with Basterma are on our shortlist. Beverage options include water and soft drinks.

Décor & Ambience

Funky, natural, fresh light organic colors. Food comes in Qedra’s trademark brown paper bags, all very eco-friendly. Ambience is busy, busy, busy.

Clientele Mix & Price Range

A cross section of every element of Zamalek society. From local workers to the well-heeled, all rub shoulders to place their order and emerge clutching their prize.

Price range is totally affordable. This has to be the best deal in town. We fed our entire team with what would normally cover lunch for two.

Contact Information

Opening hours: 7 am – 11 pm.

Ramadan Hours: 10 pm – around 3 am. Seating for Qedra’s sohour will be available right next door at the Armed Forces Club, while takeaway and delivery will carry on as usual from Qedra.

Delivery: From 8 am – 4 pm. Ramadan hours 10 pm – 3 am.
