Akmal Saleh has a fascinating past. Originally immigrating to Australia from Egypt with his family nearly 30 years ago. He sums it up in his own inimitable style – “My parents didn’t tell us where we were going. We thought it was two hours away. Twenty hours later, we got off a plane and we were on another planet”. Akmal has had a very interesting food culture background, and talks very fondly about a dish that resembles green snot!!
