Gol Gappey
I’ve noticed a very weird difference between the Gol Gappey (Pani puri) in Karachi and in Lahore. There are two types of gol gappey: meethay and namkeen. In Karachi if you ask for meethay gol gappey they will put some white and red chutney inside and give them to you with the same namkeen water whereas in Lahore if you ask for meethay gol gappey they will give the plain gol gappey but with a different sort of meetha water.
Has anyone else encountered this or is it just me? :p
yes i have , and dont ask for meethay gol gappey in peshawar .
It is always weird when a Karachiite asks for some food item they’re used to of in Lahore and get a shock when the item is served.
May be this happens to Lahoris’ visiting Karachi as well. I don’t know.
I had Gol Gappay (Called Phuchkay that time but now they also call it GolGappay) in India a decade ago, they just have a single flavor and use their special Leaf-Made plate to serve. (directly dipping in the Water and serve in Leaf-Plate)I am certainly agreed with TM; I cannot forget eating Biryani in Isloo.. baaqi kahani is almost same… (But I was failed to have the whole plate)
I visited Lahore 10 years back. All I remember is diving into the great food at the “Qarni restaurant” on a famous road. It was like YEE HAWWWW baybee…I hardly remember any other stuff and famous places.Love Lahore…Love Karachi..Love Pakistan…
