Eid 2016, Prettier and Sweeter with Gul Khan and Fiori Cafe

It’s not very often that I come across people I genuinely like. Call me a snob, but I usually don’t click with people, for of course my personal bazillion reasons. But when I do, I fall in love way too quickly. Just very recently I got an opportunity to come across a beautiful family at our very own Dolmen Mall Clifton Karachi.

No they weren’t a bunch shopping prior to Eid, or enjoying food at the food court, but actually were a local chocolate seller. Dolmen mall has been hosting a “Bazaar” at the food court area for quite some time now, and this was the very first time, me, my husband and our little one happened to stop there for a little sneak peak, while we were waiting for the food that we had ordered.

My little one is obviously a fan of balloons, so our first stop was at a balloon stall, I am not sure of who runs that service, but I came across two very polite and creative young women, who were making customized balloons for all the kids out there for just 250 a piece. My son got a spider man made, and it was way too accurate and cute.

After that our second stop was at Gul Khan, a local brand that makes hand painted khusas (flat shoes), utensils, décor items etc. Their shoe collection is definitely to die for, as its one of a kind and is very vibrant yet chic-ish-ly cultural. I didn’t shop there, although I regret that decision now, but I will be spending my money for this noble fashion addiction soon. I usually come across many ladies trying to find reasonable and good quality hand painted kola puri’s and khusas all over social mediums and thorough my blog and it’s a big shout out to all you gals out there, try Gul Khan. Gul Khan is a go to place if you need to amp up your fashion wardrobe this season, also because I think khusas and kola poori’s match with anything and everything, be it eastern or a western fusion look. As i couldn't take any pictures of the stall, I'm afraid i wont be able to post any here, but make sure to click on the hyper link above and see the magical creations yourself, before you are fashionably obliged to order some for yourself.
The Ultimate Chocolate Spoon

The final stop was at a chocolate stall, and this is where I met the most creative and down to earth family, who were selling hand crafted chocolates, and to be honest, their customer service made the chocolates taste way sweeter than I can explain. The brand is called Fiori Cafe, run by Mrs. Amna Zia and the gentleman dealing with us was her son Mr. Nasik Zia. The stall had a beautiful arrangement done with different flavors of chocolates, all imported. My husband being the ultimate chocolate lover tried their chocolate mousse, and to be frank, it was so delicious, one wasn’t enough! My son tried there mini chocolate bar, which he finished within seconds and I got the cutest spoon I’ve ever seen in my life, which was actually all edible as it was made out of pure chocolate!

Nasik told me that his mother actually makes all the chocolate assortments herself, and personally looks over customer dealing and one on one costumer interaction. But while our little conversation; he also mentioned that because she stands at the stall herself all day, she was on a break, while he was handling the sales. On my request he made me meet his mom, and after meeting her I realized the secret to her delicious chocolates creations … the secret surely is the unique mother's love, that she leaves in every bite the customers take.

A genuinely sweet family, serving a deliciously sweet treat!
