My new favorite American-style supermarket. Additionally, there is the "Alfa" chain I visited earlier this afternoon, which is like a Wal-Mart, complete with clothing, music, DVD's and exercise equipment. There's also a "Sedanoui" which is a smaller scale market closest to the dorms, and is the cheapest of the three. All have unique factors of appeal. I've been operating off of bateenban sada (whole wheat bread), diet Sprite, Baraka water, Jif peanut butter and imported apples. Soy milk doesn't appear to have made it here. All three markets were also comprised of about 3/4 Westerners. Zamalek is the wealthy isle of expats and diplomats. It's quaint, but detached.
