The Special Fries!

Potato or "aloo" is a very Nepali thing. You can eat an aloo, or you know, you can be an aloo if your friends call you that lovingly. Who doesn't love aloo? Well if you ever ask anyone to volunteer to eating french fries or any sort of dish which includes potatoes, I'll always be the first one in line. In Nepali, there is a saying "Potato is the king of vegetables". This is because they can be eaten in a hundred different ways; boiled, fried, pickled, in soups, as stand-alone dishes and as a part of cooked meals. Late at night and need a quick time easy bite? Aloo to the rescue! See, aloo is always there, even when no one else is. 


Okay, I may have talked a lot about aloos so let me actually focus on the dish. The place that I'm talking about today is the Shavi's fries, which is located in Thamel. I previously did a blog post about this place about two weeks ago. This place is adorned by a giant chalkboard wall which is really interesting to look at while you are waiting for your fries. They have empty wooden barrels for tables, which adds a rustic touch to this place. 



Originally, I went to get some churros but the staff suggested me to also try their special fries which I'm glad I did! It was one of the best fries I've had. I ordered the "Berlin Currywurst Fries", which consisted of pork, cheese, fries and mayonnaise. This combo perfectly complimented each other and each bite was so full of flavors. If you love fries, you'll absolutely fall in love with this dish. There are a lot of special items among the fries to choose from, and you'll definitely have your hunger be vanished as it is quite fulfilling. 

This was Rs.450 and totally worth it!

Cheap Sunscreen to buy in Nepal

 Skincare.. I didn't know much about skincare, but thanks to the lockdown, I learned more about it, and a year later, here I am, a skincare enthusiast. When you go and browse for skincare advice, I am sure you'll get sound product advice, but the one problem I have with that is the price. Finding a good product at a reasonable price is a hassle here. On top of that, we have to deal with fake products too.  Sunscreen is such an essential part of skincare, and it's honestly one of the expensive skincare products. How do they expect me to reapply it every 2-3 hrs when a 50gm bottle costs 1k and will last me 2 weeks? I am surely no expert, but with the passing time, I have been able to try many products, and hopefully, this may help some of you out there.  Disclaimer: These are products that worked for me. What works for me may not work for you so do be wary of that. Also, I've only stated my experience with the products and not the science behind it. My Skin Type: Sensit

Street food

If you're a Nepalese and not had any single street food till the day, are you really Nepalese? I am a big street food enthusiastic, I would be ready in any given time of day to embark on the glorious sausages, mushrooms, syabhaley and other delicacies that you get. These are my personal favorites- 1.Egg roll in Boudha I don’t think that many people know of this hidden gem. It lies in the alleyway of AT Burger near Boudha Stupa. They have this small stall which only opens in the evening and certainly serves the best egg roll you could find. They stuff the roti with half-boiled egg and other heavenly things which I don’t know the name of, but it’s definitely one of my personal favorites. The best part is it costs you less than 100 Rs. Also, make sure you reach there at around 4–6 because they’re in limited stock. 2. Chaat in front of People’s Plaza I was one of those people who was never really fond of chaats or eateries of that sort, but this place definitely made an i

Top 5 places to go to when you're broke!

Let's face it, we all have those days when we're penniless. I don't know about you guys, but if I look at my situation I'm broke almost 50% of the time, and tbh that's because I spend most of my money on food. Anyways, I've made this post so as to help you guys out, because trust me I know how it feels. So, let's get the list started- 1) Narayan Dai ko momo Momos! who doesn't love momo? If you're a Nepali, I'm pretty sure you enjoy having momos. One of my favorite places to go to for momos whether I'm plenty on cash or broke, would have to be "Narayan Dai's momo". I don't think this place would ever let you down.  With the juicy momo and the "takka pareko jhol", it makes you fall in love with it and is totally worth the 150rs. Samosa 2)  Tiptop  If it was up to me I would have samosas every single day. Every time I get a chance to go to Newroad, I make sure to go here because it's sup
