Best Brownies in Kathmandu

 


I’ve had my fair share of brownies; trust me. I can really only blame my sweet tooth, but I cannot say I haven’t enjoyed the brownie hunting thoroughly on more than one occasion. Who doesn’t enjoy a warm fudgy brownie with ice-cream on top? I definitely do. Of course, the pandemic put a halt to my hunting season; but nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised to find a new brownie place in town.

Kharayo bakes recently launched this heavenly delight. And from day one, or at least since the day I saw their sponsored ads, they caught my attention. They looked delicious, fudgy, and just so aesthetically pleasing. I wasn’t sure yet, if they were a treat to the mouth but they definitely looked like a treat to the eyes. They have all these interesting flavors to try out. The most peculiar of which, I felt was white chocolate and rose. Things began to hype up and they began gaining more attention with their attractive package that they launched during the Dashain season. Reviews about how good they are were flooding in and I was literally at the edge of my seat, waiting to try them out.

And that day came when he got me a box of kharayo brownies. I kid you not, the brownies are as fudgy as they were promised on the page. The flavor is intense and they just melt in your mouth. It’s the fudgiest brownies I’ve tried here, yet. The brownies looked so pretty, I almost didn’t want to ruin them by eating, but of course, my sweet tooth took the better end of that decision for me. So yes, these are definitely the best brownies, at the moment. You can have them anyway, as they point it out in their boxed: plain, in milkshakes, with ice cream or by warming it up. Whatever way you have them, they are more than likely to make you ecstatic.

What I was disappointed was with, and I am being totally honest here; is the size of these brownies. They are really small. That wouldn’t have been a problem if they didn’t look of reasonable size on their profile. So the pictures are deceiving. But maybe it’s just me. And for that size of brownies, they are a little bit of expensive.

Are they worth the hype and are the reviews about them correct? A big YES! They are definitely to be tried out. They bring the meaning of fudge to fudgy. But is it something you’d want to order again and again given their size and price? I’ll let you decide that for yourself.

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...

Best Places for Breakfast in Kathmandu

The only reason I love sleep, more than the reason that, well, it’s sleep, is that it’s like time travelling to breakfast.  Yeah, no kidding. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Whoever named that meal breakfast, was straightforward. I don’t know who named lunch and dinner, but the breakfast guy? He cut in straight to the point, didn’t he? Because breakfast is literally breaking your 8-10 hours fast. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper, they say. So, you don’t really want to compromise on breakfast now, do you? Now, this is no backlashing, but in many restaurants around town, the most breakfast things they have on the menu are omelet and toast. Yeah, I was disappointed too. There’s this restaurant in Mangal Bazar, where my best friend and I met up early morning. We decided to have breakfast. The restaurant overlooks the courtyard so it’s a beautiful place to talk over a cup of coffee or tea. She and I ordered a cheese ...
