Im so proud of my brother K today. Yesterday, it was one of those days only K can have: things were all over the place, K here and the car there, Bhabbi and the kids elsewhere, and so on... And he had invited a restaurant owner friend he had just met, along with some of his friends, plus some of Ks foodies friends for dinner. It was 7 p.m. when K headed out to get groceries for the meal: guests hed invited over at 9 p.m. It was an insane pressure test. So, after all that, when someone who eats in some of the best restaurants in the world, and is one of the toughest food critics in Lahore from what K tells me, has this to say about the meal, what more do I possibly need to say. Yesterday, I was honored to be invited for a dinner by one of the top 10 contenders of Master Chef Pakistan, Khuram Haroon. It was a fabulous spread with starters of Humus with seared lamb and Nachos Habanero home made Salsa. Not sure if many know about Habanero chili but its among the most spiciest chili in the world. Hummus was perfectly made with zest of lemon squeezed over it and lots of olive oil served with toasted crunchy pita. Perfect, the way I like it. For the main course, it was a FIESTA starting with Turkoman Rice made with Lamb and Tomato Rice which tasted just like Spanish Paella, Sichuan style Sweet and sour fish was next followed by Crispy chicken and broccoli with an oriental sauce. Bouranee Baunjan (Afghani Eggplant with a tomato and yogurt), Cottage Pie (with a twist ), Prawn fettuccini in white sauce topped with paprika and Olive oil. Beef Steaks served with Demi-glace cream sauce with refried Beans and Sautéed vegetable. If I was to describe each and every dish here then it will turn into a short story rather a review but one word to describe the food, Brilliant. Hope Khuram BHAI will channel his talent towards a proper restaurant business soon as his food tasted lot better than some of most expensive restaurants in town. - Asad Sheikh.
