Good morning everybody and welcome here to Karachi
0:43
After a pretty long journey, Alhamdulillah, I made it This is Pakistan's largest city with over 20 million people living here
0:49
And it's located in the province of Sindh, down in the southern part of the country
0:54
I'm actually starting my trip here at the Food and Agricultural Expo here in Karachi
0:58
It's actually the first of its kind in the whole of Pakistan. It really highlights and educates people about Pakistan's production of all food and the distribution across the world
1:08
So I'm really excited to check it out. Inside they say there's live food preps, chefs cooking food from all over the world with very high rated chefs inside cooking
1:17
And also some tasters as well to really taste the flavours here in Pakistan
1:21
As you guys know, Pakistani food is some of my favourites in the world
1:25
And I actually think it's one of the best cuisines in the world too. Later today, I'm actually heading on a food tour across Burns Road, which is one of the famous food streets here in Pakistan
1:34
But just to line my stomach for that, I will head inside and show you what's happening inside the venue
1:39
and also taste some of the famous Pakistani food you can find here in the country. Chalam
1:51
Welcome to Pakistan's first food and agriculture event here in Karachi. This is an event with live chefs from all over the world, including Italy and Thailand
2:00
cooking worldwide cuisine using Pakistan's homegrown ingredients, and inside is also a variety of local sweets and food for everybody to try
2:08
Let's check it out. Hello, this is Jamal Khan from Medco Foods
2:12
Basically, we are the biggest rice exporter from Pakistan. We are exporting about 65 countries right now
2:25
First thing I'm trying is gulaganda
2:39
This is ice with I guess a lot of sugar on the side
2:43
Look at the colors of this. Beautiful. Let's try it. Wow
2:53
Wow wow
3:12
it's amazing what's the name of this
3:21
I am loving the atmosphere in here It's so so electric and incredible. It's very very quiet, which I'm loving. It's so much more of an intimate space
3:30
So many stores around here I just tried Pani Puri and this incredible ice dish, which was so sweet of course
3:36
We're here in Pakistan another food show is just about to begin a live cooking class and these guys are actually from Azerbaijan
3:41
So I can't wait to take a look at this. I'm sitting on the front row so I can give you a really good look inside the live cooking class
3:54
Oh So the Azerbaijanis just cooked. It's beautiful. I would call it dolma. I'm not sure what they call it in Azerbaijan
4:24
but let's try it freshly cooked straight from the stage the meat is so fresh they literally just cooked it straight in front of my page
4:44
this is the beauty of this place tasting food from all across the world using Pakistani ingredients is amazing
4:54
Nice fish. Of course I can't come to Karate without coming to the beach
5:05
Pakistan's coast is around 1400 km. You probably can barely hear me because it's so windy
5:12
It's at the end of monsoon season so of course the sun is not out
5:16
There are camels on the beach. The weather is very cloudy and it's so so windy
5:23
but the beach is so busy there are thousands if not tens of thousands of people here they're just
5:31
in front of me i love the beach here i came here last time when i was in karachi two years ago
5:36
and i loved it so i'm gonna head down hopefully sit have a have a chai of course and uh enjoy the view
5:43
do muggies too camels, horses, so many families here ah there's the bun kebab
5:53
there are so many people here Only Jay
6:27
Yes, just three letters. Jay AY. Nice to meet you. Two minutes onto the beach and countless people have already walked up to me offering me chai
6:37
offering me anything I want from street food to horse riding. And the kindness in Pakistan really it just shocks me every single time
6:46
No matter how many times I've come here this is my ninth trip. And Pakistani hospitality is unmatched
6:54
I now need to find some chai and try and get through all of these people
7:03
This guy even has a Pakistani flag on his head The most Pakistani camel ever
7:09
You can see they dress them up in traditional seating There's pom-poms all over them
7:16
This beach is so busy, there's people swimming I speak Italian
7:26
You speak Italian, Russian, English You speak Russian? No
7:37
Just a little You speak so many languages And his English is unmarked
7:48
driver named Muhammad and his English is so fluent. Many people think in Pakistan that
7:55
people cannot speak English or any other foreign language but actually the literacy rates here
7:59
in Pakistan are so high. Even in the far reaches of the mountains in the north so many people
8:04
speak English in different languages. It's a common misconception but Pakistanis are
8:10
I'm incredibly educated. Amazing. Of course now I have to go home and eat biryani in Karachi
8:18
I have to before I leave. How are you? Hi brother! Okay, final stop of course here in Karachi on day one has to be biryani
8:29
I've wanted to try it for so long. And last time I was in Karachi I didn't get to eat it that much
8:34
But I've just arrived to a location called Al-Freshman. My friends recommended me this place and of course it's in the most crowded area with locals and that's when you know biryani is good
8:43
