Back in the early 1980′s when there were not many places to dine in Q8… i remember us going to the TSC Jeans on Fridays and ordering a very popular dish back then “Escalpoe Panée”… the dish was so popular back then and i suppose it still is in Egypt since whenever you see a movie/series where [...]
