The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

As summer kicks off, the culinary scene sparks with innovations. The latest culinary food trend in summer 2024 is Hawaiian, which combines sweet treats with savoury food, such as mango and chicken or the controversial pineapple on pizza. There are some Thai-inspired options, too, that will elevate your summer dining experience. So, here are the best Hawaiian & Thai kitchen-inspired treats.

1- Bayouki’s Chicken with mango and Habenero sauce

Bayouki’s fresh rotisserie chicken features a new menu item this summer. Fresh mango cubes with habanero sauce are added to a whole chicken, creating a burst of sweet and spicy flavours that promise to last all season long. Dive in and savour the taste of summer with every bite!

2- Tao’s KHAO NEIW MAMUANG

Located in New Cairo’s Dusit Thani, Tao brings back its iconic innovation of mango and rice every summer. Despite being on their dessert menu, the treat isn’t as savoury as it sounds since they utilise sticky rice cooked in coconut milk, making it stand somewhere between a dessert and a multi-flavoured meal.

3- Som’s Pineapple Smash Burger

Sheikh Zayed’s new burger spot, Som’s, has announced its summer-limited-edition pineapple smash burger. Bringing an array of flavours together, the pineapple smash burger is a must-try experience.

4- Maine’s Peanut Butter and Jam Burger

Combining a traditional favourite and elevating it with a burger, Maine’s PB & J burger is another must-try on the list. The burger comes with salty peanut butter and spiced sour strawberry jam, giving it an edge while keeping everything on the same pallet.
