The
following excerpt is from an article listing The Top Ten restaurants
in Pakistan.
...a far cry from the Central Asian exoticism of the Khan Klub is the
trendy Hot Spot in Islamabad. Pop memorabilia and movie posters have
helped recreate the easy, laid back ambiance of an American diner (complete
with juke-box) in a converted train compartment in the heart of Islamabad
- an unlikely location for a selection of excellent homemade ice cream.
The
chocolate ice cream here is rich and creamy, the lemon sorbet dangerously,
deliciously tangy and the strawberry frozen yogurt divinely inspired.
An additional attraction for ice cream
aficionados is The Hot Spot’s unique collection of horror and cult cinema,
which includes everything from classic Alfred Hitchcock to the latest
David Lynch film. Now if only chefs in Pakistan were as creative as
these celluloid legends.
