Phaja Siri Paye, Lahore !!!

PHAJA SIRI PAYE

Thirst of food keeps a person busy in search of some delicious and worth foods. And a person like me who cannot live without eating always keeps me busy in search of that kind of food. My hunger of food one day takes me to the Phaja Siri Paye which is situated in the back side of Badshahi Mosque. This place is famous for its breakfast. And it is said that the start of the day of a Lahori is depend upon the breakfast. According to my point of view the whole day depends upon the breakfast of a person. So, I think Phaja Siri Paye is the best place to start your day. The taste of that Siri Paye has no replacement because no one can make the taste like that. Phaja Siri Paye is one of the oldest shop in Lahore and situated near the historical places which is a specialty of that place. It is said that phaja has a magic in his hand and I think it is true because a person like me who can tell from the smell of the food that how good is the food is convinced in such a way that I cannot like any other Siri Paye except that shop. The taste, the gravy and the smell of that food remind me the taste of that food again and again. And I think if a person lives in Lahore and haven’t tried Phaja Siri Paye then he hasn’t tried the real taste of food.

Kulfi Lovers Take Notice !!! ( Keranche Matka Kulfi Islamabad )

Everyone loves desserts of all kinds but there's something about ice cream kulfi that makes everyone happy.  People have an emotional response to kulfi it's more than just a food. Last week we friends made a plan to visit ‘keranche matka kulfi’ and belive me it was one of the best experience. Finally got to see something good with traditional touch. Matka Kulfi is located in F10 near Maroof International Hospital. It is a small shop with open air sitting arrangement. They made ‘khoey wali kulfi’ in matka so named as matka kulfi. As per hype the taste of the kulfi is awesome and the way how they serve is spot on. It is economical not expensive.  I would heartedly prefer the ones who are visiting F 10, that to give a try to this New matka kulfi. Seriously, I still can’t forget those seductive bowls. Man when I took the first spoon, it was surprisingly luscious. Generally, we see that kulfi creates mess but due to those traditional clay pots. The presentation of kulfi was spot on. Its texture worked as sedative on my taste buds!

Its not about the taste but the hygienic factors which they have into account while making the kulfi. Kuddos to the team!

Friendly advice; They should change their name from ‘matka kulfi’ to ‘matki kulfi’ as the size of the bowl is way to small. Still I think it’s a best place for late night hangouts!!

Wonderful experience of Chinese Food in Karachi !!!

 When one hears the word Chinese food, obviously what comes to our mind is the Chinese soup, Chinese rice, Chicken chowmen, and sea food specifically prawns.

But this restaurant serves you more than what you even not know about a true Chinese food except a few trending ones.

Peking Chinese Restaurant is a pure Chinese food point which is located at one of the most crowded areas in Karachi. It is located just at the beginning of the Bahadurabad Area if you come from the route of Agha Khan University Hospital road. It is located at a very prime location just at the area’s starting point.

The owner of this restaurant is Muslim Chinese.  When I first time visited there, they greeted us very politely and with grace. This was very respectful.

There interior is mostly as usual decorated with Chinese handicrafts, paintings which gives a view of the ancient china and that the cutlery is also bought specially from china. It really gives a real feel to an individual of being in china itself. And so was also hypnotized into it!

Not many of the individuals know about this restaurant but when one goes, it really craves to visit the place again and again. Due to its food which hypnotizes a person into real china where you imagine of being there and enjoying their traditional dishes.

Well, let’s jump toward their food.

They serve an excellent variety for Chinese food. Ranging from their soul warming soups to their main course dishes giving us an end to the extras if you want to have some heavy topping.

I’m going to start with their soups which are 3 in total, different from each one another. At first is their classic chicken corn soup. This is no doubt as a top priority for every soup lover. It’s filled with loads of juicy chicken strips, scattered egg whites, sweet corn and fresh green peas. Then comes their hot n sour soup. This soup is filled with marvelous ingredients which give a you crazy, hot and mind blowing taste. This soup is full of small shrimps, egg whites, corns, peas, chicken and hot sauce. Although their some of their food have the same ingredients as others, but the way they prepare and make gives a mind blowing and marvelous experience of their food and its taste. In the end comes their special soup. This soup has all that you can think of. From the toppings of chicken corn soup, to hot n sour soup, and then giving it a unique taste and texture, by adding up tofu in it. This really shoots it taste to the limit which everyone craves for.

Now let’s come towards their main course.

Their main course carries the all favorite chicken egg fried rice, which includes a special kind of minimized shape of rice grain which has a really different taste. It’s worth trying. Then they have the star of their main course, the chicken chow men. Their chicken chowmen is filled with marvelous Chinese food scents. And it’s all made in the special Chinese egg noodles. Which have a totally unique taste.

But wait! Who can forget the mighty prawns? They serve an exquisite variety of king prawns in different forms which include some of their dishes into a whole prawn  either stir fried or grilled and topped into gooey tempting Chinese sauces. This is way out of one’s imagination. And that they also serve prawns into the form of prawn balls which are either filled with a great variety of spices and deep fried, or rolled into the crispy breadcrumbs and baked. These kinds of prawn based dishes also give a unique flavor.

Now as I introduce with their new and unique dishes which seldom people know around, they provide Kung Pao chicken. This dish is based of chicken drum sticks which are prepared into a totally unique and different style. They are deep fried with a thick coated batter. The taste of this dish ravishes every individual there.

And I shall also be mentioning another of their crown dish that is Egg Foo Yung. As the names recalls the word egg, this dish is basically based on chicken or prawns which is mixed with different sliced veggies and spices, and in turn coated up with the egg and baked in oven. This crown dish just makes an individual rise into the cravings of this dish to have it every time when visiting this restaurant.

This restaurant Is always filled with delightful aroma of Chinese food, humble music in the background and with pure Chinese culture based interior.

For the Chinese food lovers, one should definitely give it a try before checking out the rest of the costly Chinese eateries as it provides all of its food in very economical rates.

Till then, see ya later!
