Pocky Sticks You’d Pocket

P.C : Kneadbitz

Have you ever bitten into a Pocky stick and thought “Why aren’t they available in Nepal?” they’re the perfect snack. They’re not too sweet; they’re chocolatey; they’re crunchy and easy to take along wherever you go. Well now, my fellow pocky enthusiasts, you do not have to look far, for Kneadbitz have come up with their own version of pocky sticks. In fact, they’re better than pocky sticks. They’re delicious; they’re reasonable of price and have I mentioned how addictive they are? No? You can never have just one.

What started off as a Christmas special with the candy cane design has taken a hit among the market as more and more people are finding these chocolate sticks worth trying. And honestly, who can blame them? Kneadbitz; and if you haven’t noticed how creative that name is, please do give it a thought; have introduced the perfect go-get-it snack. If you like baked goodies to munch on and if you like chocolate… well there really is no way these chocolate sticks can go wrong now, is there?

I was beyond myself to get a hand at these chocolate delights when I first ordered them. And I have no shame to admit that I did not even realize when I had gobbled down a single chocolate stick in mere seconds. It almost broke my heart a little when I got to the last stick. Kneadbitz chocolate sticks are now available in dark chocolate, white chocolate, coconut and coffee. They’re the pocky sticks that you’d love to pocket in a jiffy. These chocolate sticks make a great present for someone and of course a little pampering for yourself to indulge on. Hush, now! No one is judging you.

Go ahead; get yourself or someone else a pack of these delicious treats. I know I’m definitely getting another pack.

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 Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...

Baklava in Kathmandu

Baklavas are considered the Mount Everest of pastry making and what better delight than to know that they are, now, available here in the country that Mount Everest is situated? TazaTreats, newly initiated by Taza brings to you this delicacy. A fine treat with walnuts or pistachios in layers coated with sugar, Baklavas are an explosion of flavor in your mouth. A dessert from the Middle East, first brought in from the Turkish or Greek heritage, Baklavas are a new thing in Nepal. But you’d be more than happy to know that the taste is something that would fit well with the Nepali palate. Baklavas are slowly gaining attention around the valley. I see that more and more people have been trying them out. And they come in these beautiful handcrafted boxes, making the experience even more worthwhile. When we first got a box, after clicking enough pictures, of course, I had to inky pinky my way to choose which Baklava I should go for first. They’re just right for sharing or surprisi...
