Celebrating the spirit of hospitality
and sharing in Ramadan, the good people at Pearl Continental Hotel invited me
for an Iftaar-Dinner buffet on May 13, 2019 - the very first Iftaar invitation of the
season. Organized at the grand, spacious PC Marquee with all the necessary
arrangements being done flawlessly, the buffet was a visual treat to the eyes
displaying a huge variety of main course meals and desserts being artfully arranged
on the round table.
Of all the buffets that I have tried
during this season so far, I believe that Pearl Continental Hotel has an edge
over them when it comes to food plating or presentation (and I'll let you be
the judge here after browsing through the pictures). Speaking about the taste,
what had appealed to my palate were Tempura Prawns, Fried Rice, Sweet &
Sour Fish and Chicken Wraps. Their live barbecue section delivering piping hot
food items including Pasta, Chapli Kebabs, Sajji, Tempura Prawns, etc is worth
giving a try!
The buffet also featured a decent
selection of our regular Iftaar items including Pakoras, Samosas, Dahi Baray,
etc. that I skipped for the dinner and desserts part looked more enticing to my
taste buds. Moreover, there was a separate corner for tea enthusiasts where a
good steaming cuppa was served to the guests.
The service was remarkable throughout
the meal with their staff and chefs on a constant round, making sure that we enjoy
the food (and know about what we are eating :p).
The event concluded with a lucky draw
activity where prizes were distributed amongst the selected winners. I was fortunate enough to win a whole bag of
goodies by Mehran Foods, which has made my kitchen Eid-ready with its savory
delights.
Priced at 2600 PKR (excluding GST),
the Iftaar-Dinner Buffet at Pearl Continental Hotel could be your next choice
of visit if you enjoy eating BBQ at a comfortable dining spot. Also, there’s
some good news for Faysal Bank card holders who can avail 40% off on their
reservations. Hurry up before the offer lasts, as they say! ;)
