Quetta / Attractions / Bazaars
Prominent
bazaars of Quetta are on Shahrah-e-lqbal (Kandahari Bazaar) and
Shahrah-e-Liaquat (Liaquat Bazaar and Suraj Gang Bazaar). Here
you can find colourful handicrafts, particularly Balochi mirror
work embroidery which is admired all over the world. Carpets,
with their pleasing and intricate designs, fur coats, jackets,
waist-coats, sandals and other creations of traditional Balochi
skills.
In the old
bazaars one comes across quaint old tea-shops. These are the local
"clubs'. There are also many popular eating houses offering different
types of delicacies. Among the delicacies you must try is "Sajji"
(leg of lamb). which is roasted to a delightful degree of tenderness
and is not very spicy. The tribesmen of the valley also enjoy
"Landhi" (whole lamb), which is dried in shade and kept for the
winters. "Kabab" shops are very popular, the best being Lal Kabab,
Tabaq, Cafe Farah and Cafe Baldia. They serve Pakistani and Continental
food, while Cafe China specialises in Chinese cuisine.
Some of the
finest mutton in the country is raised around Quetta. It has a
delicious smell which can be sampled in the "Pulao" that most
of the eating houses offer.
The one rule that I have found to apply throughout the world is
that if you, as a male seeking a female, aim for youth and beauty,
then you are better off in small towns than in big cities.
