Lulu Hypermarket on D-Ring has kicked off its annual three-week food festival. According to the Gulf Times, it looks like there’s some crazy stuff going on, including:

A spate of competitions including eating competitions on pizza, bananaa, chocolates, ice creams, donuts, grilled chicken, noodles, and chili eating competition for men, juice drinking competition, drawing and quiz will be held all along during the festival period….

Special counters and kiosks promoting exciting offers on major food items, free sampling and tasting, and raffle draws by LuLu and major suppliers etc are also set up. Suppliers namely Maggie, Shama and Al Areesh have organised promotions like scratch & win and lucky draws as a part of their sales promotion activities.

More on the festival here. Sadly, there’s nothing going on in the less-crowded, easier-to-park at Lulu Gharafa.

Let us know if you go! We’d love to see pictures.
