Artisan Pancakes

Cafe Joshi, although established not too long ago, has gathered quite a hype especially with their pancakes. So one day, my bro and I decided to go for it and taste this aesthetic dish for ourselves.

Situated in Maharajgunj, just opposite of Saleways Departmental store on the Main Road, Cafe Joshi should not be hard to find. The interior is simple and minimal design. Decorated with house plants, the place gives a nice vibe. That was the first thing I noticed, the house plants and the greens. They were inviting.

We went for the creme brulee pancakes. The Strawberry pancakes sounded just as good but creme brulee pancakes sounded new to me. We went for it.

The pancakes were a piece of art when they came. We were in awe of how pretty they looked; almost too beautiful to eat. Three stacks of pancakes, one on top of the other; fluffy as clouds and a scoop of ice cream on top. This screamed ecstasy. And that first bite, just like it; I swear. Just as light, just as fluffy. It was like cake. A pancake that could actually be cut as a mini birthday cake, only making you just as happy. Have this as breakfast at Cafe Joshi and I promise you, you will have a great day.

Yes, they are a tad bit expensive for pancakes but these pancakes are artisanal; they’re a treat for your eyes and your mouth. Appealing to look at and just as appealing for your tummy; these pancakes are worth it.

Go ahead; plan a Sunday brunch with your buddy and dig into these artisanal pancakes. They have a range of flavors : creme brulee, strawberry, USA Today. Choose to your heart’s content!

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...
