Daylight filters through the branches of a pomegranate tree hanging over one tall wall of this open air cafe. The enclosed courtyard is ringed with partitioned alcoves and tables, and lebbek latticework arches overhead, connecting large swathes of sun-faded cotton in an attempt to provide shade. Lit incense censers clutter the tabletops, casting a heavy haze of scented smoke across the area. A tall cafe proprietor stands behind a counter covered in numerous braziers, coffeepots, cups, and bottles.

4	a chunk of creamy cheese			A chunk of creamy cheese is normal food. 1) Chewy and creamy, the mild cheese has bits of spicy pepper laced through it. 2) The sharp bite of pepper in the cheese is soothed away by the otherwise mild flavor.	50
5	a goblet of barberry port			A goblet of barberry port is alcohol. Eventually, it will make you drunk. 1) The full-bodied port tastes of sharply acidic barberries tempered with sweetened citrus.

This liquid's color is blackish red.	100

Eventually, it will make you drunk. 1) Hints of absinthe, heather, and lavender create a complex interplay of flavors combined with the smoky intensity of the peated whiskey. 2) An unusual undercurrent of grapefruit and rose rises up through the strong whiskey, briefly overwhelming a variety of other, complicated notes. This liquid's color is pale honey.	100

Behind the Scenes

The coffee shop is almost certainly named after the Khan el-Khalili, a large souk in the historic district in Cairo. Moreover, Khan'Kel Bazarr's name may itself be an allusion to the Khan el-Khalili.
