Best Cheesecakes in Town


 
Cheesecake is probably still a new thing for many people in the valley, unless you’re a dessert freak, which I hope you are because they are delicious.
But here’s the thing, because cheesecake is still a rare delicacy here, all places do not make good cheesecakes, I repeat, they do not make good cheesecakes. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
Cheesecakes are of two types: baked and non-baked. If you ask me, both kinds are heavenly. What matters most for a good slice of cheesecake? The texture and the creaminess. It is cream cheese after all, duh! Before we get into the good places, let me tell you where not to go for a slice of cheesecake. The cheesecake at Baker’s den, Naxal in front of Bhatbhateni is awful. Yeah, sorry but someone had to put it out there. I remember my friend pointing out that cheesecake at Dhokaima café is soo good, so I went and tried it. It felt okay then, but when I tried the good ones, it felt like a miserable excuse for a cheesecake: sorry.
Now that the *cough not so good cheesecakes have been mentioned, let’s brace ourselves and dig in to the good ones. If you are craving for a good slice of baked cheesecake, go for 
-          Sports bar and café at Jhamsikhel 
If you want a cheesecake at a reasonable price, because they could get quite pricey, try the cheesecake at Sherpa bakery, Patandhoka.


If you want a good slice of non-baked cheesecake, visit
-          Himalayan Java outlets



-          Garden Tea House at Sankhamul


-          Imago Dei at Naxal


-          Sweet Lane Thamel at Astrek Park


-          Deli Akuj

Try a decadent slice of cheesecake. I’m sure you will not regret it.

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

The Leaving vs The Left Behind

  I still remember,  I was standing near the entrance looking out at the garden. I was at my best friend’s home and she had gone to get her ever famous chips chilly for me. I was to leave for Bangalore again, in a couple of days. While I waited, I looked out at the garden and this thought came into my head. “Who is it harder for? The one leaving or the ones left behind?” Is it going to be harder for me in a new place readjusting and exploring, or my best friend here, who will me miss me? Is it harder for a person to settle in a completely new place with a completely new lifestyle and have to find new people or for a person to see the same old places, the same old alleys and reminiscent the good times they had with their friend who are not around at the moment? It was a random thought that filled my mind a couple of minutes and then I got over it. Some time after resettling here in Bangalore, my best friend sent me a reel. The reel was about 2 close friends who used to lived ...

Most Asked Question

  Coming back home after one year has been a rollercoaster of emotions for me the past month. Getting to see everyone again, embracing family and friends, working on an office desk again, walking through same old alleys and of course, devouring delicious food that I so dearly missed. I am actually almost through the food list that I have been saving. But the people have been asking me the same question a lot: do you like it here in Nepal or in Bangalore? And the answer has always been the same for me: I like it wherever I am. Kathmandu is home, it is warm, and it is where family is. Bangalore is a different vibe and freedom and excitement. Kathmandu is a different fun and Bangalore is different fun, which is why I live in the moment and enjoy where I am. My mother always tells me: “ La wani tha nya wani ma” in Nepal Bhasa meaning “ the fish must go where the water goes”. The meaning while very basic is also very deep. If the fish does not flow with the water, it cannot survive. I...
