Biggest Burger in Town

P.C: Arija Shakya

For some time, I’d believed I’d found the best burger in town and I had comfort in that very thought. I was almost reluctant to try burgers at new places. But when more than few people started suggesting I try the Lama Grill Burger, I got curious as to whether it really was better than Burger Shack. That and it is only like 5 minutes away from where I live. So, one fine evening my sister and I planned to have dinner at the very place.

Lama Grill Burger is a quiet place tucked away inside the city. Not a really big place either but inviting. The menu looked interesting; we were looking at a place that had various options of burgers; truly heaven for burger enthusiasts! What caught our eye on the menu was the Mt Everest burger and this is one of their best sellers. Rightly named Mt Everest burger, the burger stands tall and proud and oozing out goodness. This has got to be the biggest burger in town. Several patties sandwiched between two buns; the burger can seem intimidating but also a fun challenge if you’re up for it. Grab a handful of your friends and order the Mt Everest burger because this is no one-man’s game.

But of course, my sister and I knew there was no way we could finish the Mt Everest burger, just the two of us. We ordered the Nangsi Chicken Burger and the American Classic Burger. The very first thing we noticed about the burgers was how shiny and glossy their buns looked. These buns looked sleek! They should because these buns are homemade here. Generous with cheese, this burger is a party in your mouth if nothing less. I felt like Marshall Erikson of How I met Your Mother in Season 4 Episode 2: “Best Burger in New York”. Every bite made me feel happy. And as for my curiosity, yes burgers at Lama Grill Burger are better than Burger Shack and they are cheaper, too. It is a must-try!

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...
