Chinese Food Festival At Beach Luxury Hotel

Evenings are getting somewhat chilly in Karachi these days and the season definitely calls for night-outs with friends and comfort food. So, a couple of weeks back, Beach Luxury Hotel had a Chinese Food Festival which was perfect for a dinner get-together with my blogging buddies.

Since it was a food festival, Beach Luxury offered a buffet dinner. The first thing we had to warm ourselves up just a little bit was obviously some soup. They had quite a variety and I opted for hot and sour soup which was a banger and I loved it. The main course had a decent number of options and some of my favourites were crispy fried lemon chicken, steamed chicken dumplings, and prawn tempura. There was a beef stir fry which I had with some fried rice but it was not the best I have had. Two interesting dishes for us Pakistanis were hot stir fry squid and ginger crabs. I love food festivals for the very reason that we get to try something out of our comfort zone and it is mostly a pleasant experience as was this.

The only things that felt a bit off for the theme were the salads and the desserts as we got the usual green salad, pasta, chickpeas, custard, ice cream etc. I so want to try more authentic Chinese cuisine, particularly desserts so I really do hope Beach Luxury takes notes and brings us some more good stuff next time.
