lahore - food paradise

OK. Another rant coming up. It really pisses me off when locals call Lahore a food paradise. WHAT??? Most of the local food (which I actually like, being Malaysian, which automatically makes you a foodie) do tend to taste the same after a while, and there are only two other ways of cooking in Lahore, deep fried or bbq'd. What food paradise? Can't get Korean, Vietnamese, middle eastern, south east asian, and there is practically no choice for Japanese or Chinese. And don't get me started on western. No french, italian etc. Just the standard fare. Everything is swimming in sauce, cream etc. Can't even get an aglio olio. No fresh seafood, not that they would know how to cook it (see comments on cooking methods above). You get the idea. When one is "katak bawah tempurung" ie Malay for frog under coconut shell, one should not make such grandoise sweeping claims.
