Chicken Laphin!





Laphin! Half of you may have drooled on hearing this name (and the picture) and the other half may be wondering what this new species is. For the other half, Laphin is originally a Tibetan dish and it has been getting quite popular in the Kathmandu valley as well. It is a cold noodle dish. The interesting thing about the dish particularly is the noodles, the noodles are made from starches extracted either from potato or flour, and is cooked overnight. Once the extract has settled, they are cut and formed into noodles before being dipped in a sauce made from dried chilies and vinegar.

Laphin is quite popular in the valley and many places have tried to put their own unique kick to it. I'm a big fan of laphin. You could also say I've tried almost every type of laphin found in the valley at least. The place I visited for this blog to be posted is 109 degree. They had quite a unique dish which as you know is chicken laphin! There aren't many places that sell chicken laphin so seeing this made me quite excited.

So this dish had quirky features. For starters, the "chicken" was chicken sausages (I like sausages so I guess that was a good thing ). The laphin was white laphin( never tried white laphin, but I was excited to try it). The presentation was nice.Honestly speaking, just the laphin and the sausages were a bit plain but when I did mix all of the components of the dish, it came alive.  I would have preferred it to have a bit more spice .Other than that,  the dish was nice, the presentation was also an 8 on 10.


The price, on the other hand, is a bit more on the expensive side but for all you laphin lovers wishing to try out a new flavor, you may love 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
