. "0"^^ . . "Last Thursday, a friend and I wanted to go see some Fringe festival plays. We decided to each make a list of the top 3 plays we wanted to see and debate the whole thing over dinner at Rumi Express which neither of us had been to. Totally worth it, dudes.\n\nI got there early and was famished, so I ordered some hummus and a basil lemonade while I waited. The hummus was creamy and just right - not too much tahini, nicely oily and sprinkled with paprika, accompanied with a whole (uncut) pita which is good cause it's fun to tear chunks. \n\nBut yeah, the lemonade was the clincher - clear and refreshing and the basil totally works. When Catherine showed up, she had a sip and said: \"Ca vaut le d\u00E9tour!\" - so yeah, at the very least, the lemonade's worth the trip.\n\nFor my main dish. I felt nostalgic so I ordered a foul platter. Foul is a traditional middle-eastern breakfast that my grandma makes. And while this one certainly doesn't hold up to grandmaman's, it was still very decent - with well-seasoned fava beans in a light, lemony, cumin sauce with accompaniements of pickle slices, mint leaves (mine were kinda wilted unfortunately) and a chunk of mushy flat bread. \n\nIt was a generous, totally gratifying helping but yeah, the lemonade was definitely the clincher!"^^ . .
