Pakistanis are passionate food lovers who enjoy dining out, especially at well-known restaurants and cafes. The popularity of Hi-Tea and Dinner Buffets has increased significantly as people prefer indulging in a variety of dishes with family and friends. While high-end restaurants are praised for their quality and service, the reality behind the scenes is often quite different, as revealed by various chefs and restaurant employees.
One of the chefs, who has worked in top hotels, shared shocking insights about food practices. He stated that while customers only see the deliciously presented meals, they remain unaware of what happens behind the scenes. He highlighted that a significant amount of leftover food from customers is not discarded but reused in different ways.
The chef further explained that these leftovers are collected and repurposed in hotel kitchens instead of being wasted. He emphasized that this practice is common, and many people have no idea about it. Due to his experience, he now avoids ordering food from hotel room service as he knows the reality of what is being served.
He urged leading hotels to reconsider their portion sizes, suggesting that reducing food quantities would help minimize waste and prevent unnecessary reuse. He believes that controlling food portions is a more ethical and sustainable approach.
This revelation has raised concerns among food lovers, making them question the hygiene and quality of food served at top-tier hotels and restaurants.
