Shopping

The cities of Pakistan rightly boast of rich oriental bazaars as well as modern shopping plazas. Bargaining is not uncommon in the market places. Leather, woolen, cotton, brass, copper and wood works are some of the specialties. Onyx ware is in abundance. Gold and silver jewellery, intricately handcrafted, is also a major attraction. Pakistani carpets and rugs are among the best in the world.

Pakistani Cuisines

Pakistani food is rich and generally meat based. All restaurants offer a range of “Kababs”, barbecued chicken and grilled meat variously spiced and marinated. The most popular meat is lamb followed by chicken. Beef kababs are also popular. Flattened bread (”nan”) baked in a deep gas or coal-fired or thinner floppy bread (”chapati”) pit is invariably served with all meals. If you like curry, there is a whole variety available everywhere. The popular local drinks are “lassi” (yogurt beaten to a rich paste with water and sugar added) or fresh lime in water sweetened with a rich helping of sugar. The food is not expensive. However take care and avoid drinking unboiled tap water or raw vegetables.
