Yesterday we sampled cuisine from different parts of the world as Lulu Hypermarket started the Food Expo 2018 – Taste the best of the World for the next 2 weeks.

The Expo is a groupwide event dedicated to promoting the impressive range of high-quality food items from around the world. It also creates an engaging shopping experience for the customers, while continuing to provide shoppers with the most competitive prices in the store and online.

We tried different types of food from Indian and Chinese to Arabic and Thai and many more countries of the world cooked in different types of spices from all over the world. The menus at Lulu change daily from breakfast to lunch and evening dinner, offering over 30 varieties of dishes per setting

There are over 20 different types of biryanis and this goes up with promotion’s or festivals. Did you know that Lulu sells over 700,000 Shawarmas’ a year in Dubai? And they sell over 100 types of salads, and over 500,000 kilos of fruits.

I am a fish lover and liked the variety the hypermarket had from Norway, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Oman, Kuwait and the UAE. The fish mongers cut and clean the fresh fish and give suggestions on which fish is best for their meal solution.

The Lulu Bakery has almost 100 different product ranges from various countries across the world, USA, UK, Spain, Italy, India, Canada France and the Philippine’s to sell in our bakeries in Dubai. They source and use ingredients from Germany, Holland, Belgium, Australia, Austria, Indonesia.

As part of the Food Expo 2018, several food-related competitions including Cookery Contests, Junior Chef Contests, Family Cooking, Salads & Sandwich, Cake Icing, Fruit & Veg Carvings & Potato Peeling, as well as live-cooking demonstrations, are being held in the stores.

During the Food Expo 2018 shoppers can win Gold, Range Rover, FJ cruisers, Quadbikes, Gift Vouchers and more. For our fans on social media, there is a game, which can be played, by adults and children alike to win prizes.
