"Head to Karmel Mall for a cup of steaming Somali shaah (a.k.a. chai, or spiced tea) at Hamdi, where two kettles are kept boiling all day. First comes a pour of white sugar into the water; then a scoop of black tea leaves; then fragrant ground ginger, cinnamon, and cardamon; all finished with steamed milk. Grab a sambusa or some malawax (sweet cardamom crepes) to-go — or pull up a chair for a heartier breakfast of nafaquo (hard-boiled eggs that are rolled in spiced mashed potatoes, then battered and fried)." - Joy Summers
