Sweet Leban, 2901 Honolulu Ave, La Crescenta-Montrose, CA 91214

A newish Lebanese Armenian bakery café, Sweet Leban bakes a wide variety of cookies, croissants, eclairs, cakes, baklava, lahmacun, manakish, and more. Custom cakes are also available. Sandwiches (e.g., basturma, sujuk, lebni) were reasonably priced at $10 - $12.

The pastries and cookies were not labeled and I didn’t see prices, except for the breakfast items, sandwiches, and drinks (e.g., Armenian coffee).

Ma’amoul filled with pistachio paste ($2.08): this was a big cookie, the exterior of the cookie was dusted with powdered sugar. It was like a shortbread cookie (not too sweet) filled with “pistachio paste” which wasn’t like paste but more like a softer cookie that was lightly pistachio flavored

Ma'amoul Mad ($15.60): little squares of a pastry made with semolina flour, layered with pistachio paste & topped with chopped pistachios. It was interesting – somewhat like a soft spiced cookie. The pistachio flavor wasn’t that strong.

Za’atar croissant ($3.64): huge and soft with a lot of za’atar spices inside, not really a proper croissant

If you pay cash, you get a discount. Sweet Leban is in a strip mall with easy parking. Service was friendly. I’d like to try more. The food and baked goods seem fresh and well made.

So , I finished eatin’ 🥳🥳🥳🥳

N i added two pieces o’ the oriental sweets (so delicious 🥹)

Btw they r very tiny pieces literally in the size o’ half o’ my thumb , so don’t worry they weren’t too much ☺️

.

So, time to count calories :

1- half a chicken breast with 2 tablespoons o’ broth = 216 cals (fo’ chicken) + 10 cals (fo’ the broth) = 226 cals .

2- moroccan zaalouk = 48 cals .

3 - 6 pieces o’ oriental sweets (1 piece o’ kallaj = 335 + 3 pieces o’ knefe with dates = 426 cals “n it could be more less than this number 😳🥺 i know because the pieces as i said (are literally the size o’ half o’ my thumb) + 2 pieces o’ baklava = 668 cals) = 1,216 cals 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬 OMG 😳 .

4 - 1 tablespoon of cheese sauce = 28 cals .

5 - 1 glass o’ sugarfree black coffee = 2 cals .

————

Total = 1520 cals were eaten in this meal ONLY !

.

😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

.

Sooooooooooooooooooooo !

.

I drank my coffee …………. After I finished my meal .

.

N i made myself , a new glass o’ coffee .

.

N im drinkin’ water , im about to finish 1 bottle now ! W my glass o’ coffee .

.

N thank god ill be walkin’ today to my private class (where the center is) .

Not plannin’ to eat more than this amount o’ cals to be honest this is so shockin’ (no wonder why i was overthinkin’ by the 1st bite 😓 idk I should’ve stopped or somethin’)

.

Gonna be chewin’ gum , n drinkin’ coffee there (or til i come back home n drinkin’ as much as i want) but chewin’ gum throughout the day is my plan .

.

Yah !

.

Tell me in the comments how to know how much i need cals a day ?! Like how to calculate it the right way ?!

Knefe at Keba

[kamalahq]

I'm addicted to knefe pistachio chocolate, although I've never tasted it

[anime75]

soOOoOooo

i burnt myself about four weaks ago trying to make baken (don't wory the baken came out perfict just a small price to pay)

but my friends told me not to itch it and what did i do? (itch it)

so it ended up becomeing a cut because i bite my nails and don't clip them so they got theas jaged sharp edges that cut me.

and what now three weaks later it no longer looks like some one cut me with a rusty knefe becasue my friends put tape on it so i couldent itch it.

the moral of the story?

dont itch your burns and listen to your friends so they dont have to practicy pin you down to put duck tape in your arm.

E passeando pela região da 25 de março olha só o que a gente encontra. 😍😋 . #knafeh #knefe (em Fenícia Culinária Libanesa)

[handgemachteseife]

Libanesische Knefe - ein Traum 🤩🤩🤩 Es gibt viele Varianten, und in Libanon wird sie anders gemacht aber diese Art schmeckt mir am Besten. Hier gehts zum Rezept: https://youtu.be/5Zxnv4Jjsd4 Zutaten: Eine Reihe Zwieback 4 Mozarella 500 ml Milch 70 g Weichweizengrieß Orangenblüten-und Rosenwasser 3 EL Margarine Zuckersirup https://youtu.be/OLZunIZUigA Passendes Brot dazu (Ka3k): https://youtu.be/gZ8ZPIl5P3k Zubereitung: So zuerst zerkleinert man die Zwieback mit der Küschenmaschine. Dann gibt man die in eine Form, schmelzt die Margarine und gibt die dazu. Gut durchkneten, und auf die Form drücken. Dann die Mozerella in Scheiben schneiden und auf die ganze Form gleichmäßig verteilen. Dann kocht man die Milch mit dem Weichweizengrieß, einen Schuss Orangenblüten-und Rosenwasser und rührt solange bis die Milch fester wird, und anschließend kippt man das ganze Über die Mozerella. Dann kommt bisschen Paniermehl drauf muss aber nicht sein, man kann auch bisschen Zwieback nehmen und dann auf die Oberfläche rauf und paar Margarinen stücke. Dann gibt man das ganze in den Ofen bei Ober-Unterhitze 200 Grad 25 min. Am Ende trennt man die Ränder mit einem Messer gut ab und man kippt man das Ganze auf eine andere größere Form, natürlich erstmal die andere Form über die Knefe und dann mit viel Schwung umdrehen und abklopfen :) Im Video ist alles gut zu erkennen :) Mit Zuckersirup und Pistazien verziehren. Viel Erfolg! #knefe #knafe #künefe #süßspeise #rezept #recipe #kochundbacktutorials #kochen #backen #dessert #ashta #mozzarella #käse #zwieback #arabisch #libanesisch #lebanese #كنافة #كنافة_لبنانية #لبنان #وصفه #video https://www.instagram.com/p/B8WWDUIKZeZ/?igshid=2rdybqdiujwv
