@waleed KARACHI Sadly places that charge a entry fee is meant to deter the common pakistani (less than Rs 20,000 / month salary). Same problem occur when the "Pindi boys" started showing up at the Islamabad Malls after the construction of the Metro Bus. We make fun of the Indian caste system yet we created our own.

Appropriately named 'Fatso' is definitely going to add a few inches to your waste, and clog your arteries!! Yum, enjoy, until a visit to the cardiologist!!!

@waleed KARACHI Believe me - you can cook all of these at home. All you need are the ingredients and internet. You will easily find video recipes for most of these. Greetings

@Hassan Prices of food items are equivalent to the rates in markets of developed countries. I wonder if this food is for Pakistanis or Foreigners.

@Meher : You can see lines of people outside "Irani hotels" in the evening where Karachiites are busy feeding, 20, 30, 100 people a go. You can see this happening all over the city all the time. Try doing it yourself also. Go to a 'hotel' and negotiate a price with them and then start serving poor, hungry people (beggars, street kids) as they come by

its the festival of rich people and do not show the identity of Pakistan. i hope our local cuisine much better which shows in pictures and these type of event produce a gap between rich and poor which is dangerous for country stability
