[RECAP] Sunday Brunching Food Crawl Meetup

Hello LocalGuides,

 

I want to share my experience from a recent meetup that I've organised - Sunday Brunching at Marriot Hotel Islamabad. It was a great experience overall. Given it was a hi-brunch so the timings of the meetup were after 1PM till 6PM - strange that usually brunches start before 12 noon but this hotel had a different timing.

 

Anyways, I reached around 1:30pm - excited to found out about two local guides already there. We waited for few minutes for more local guides and by 2pm we were good 10 people ^_^  We started our brunch right after that, was hungry after all 😄

 

Brunch dishes were countless 😄 from

10 types of pickles to 5 types of desserts to some 10 desi (Indian/Pakistani) dishes and then a separate corner for Chinese/Thai and to my surprise there was Japanese on the menu too. I inquired about this variety of menu - and the head chef said we cater to many foreigners and because of that we included every bit of food items 😄

 

Moving forward there was a variety of drinks, desserts - there was station where you can get you omelette made in front of you too. While I was taking pictures, I found out that there was a citizen from Canada sitting in the area, he asked me about the meetup and turned out he was a local guide too. I offered him to join. He told me how he use Maps in his country and how he reviews the places and especially businesses - he told me how he told his home construction workers to work well and your company will get a good review from my side 😄

 

Anyways the food was delicious. We took a lot of photos - I also talked to the marketing manager Mr. Zeeshan and asked him about hotel Google business page - he said we have added all information but don't use it frequently - I motivated him to get it started, he was convinced 🙂

 

Let me share few pictures below. All photos link

All in all a good meetup. Hoping to plan more 🙂

I changed the topic label to Meet-ups as it fits better there.
