Cotton Candy Burrito: A Good Idea?

Take it from a fellow desserts dweller, is there anything as too many sweets? Maybe. But is there a possibility of avoiding new sweets in a new place? Absolutely not. And perhaps this is what drove me to say yes when Aaisha asked me one fine day if I’d like to go to a new place called Loop City?

Loop City just introduced Cotton Candy Burritos here in Kathmandu. While somewhat of a thing in other countries, cotton candy burrito is fairly new here. All we see is cotton candy being sold on sticks on the street, but a cotton candy burrito gives you a good amount of cotton candy with scoops of ice cream goodness and all kinds of toppings that you’d like. Yes, they make their own cotton candy.

The place is fancy, giving you vibes of cotton candy all over. It literally feels like you’re walking inside a cotton candy with pale pink walls and baby pink furniture. They give you quite a show, making cotton candy right in front of you. The cotton candy burrito is something you’d want to try on their menu. Choose the ice cream flavor and the toppings you’d like to go for. They give you happiness swaddled in a paper, right on your palm. Cotton candy burritos are a mouth full, to say the least. It looks huge but once you dig in you’ll get straight to the ice cream with the soft melt-in-the-mouth cotton candy. The blueberry ice cream they recommended to us went well with the sweetness of the ice cream.

A must-try: Yes

Would I go for it again? No. This is a one-time thing. It is just too sweet and basically just cotton candy and ice cream for the price.

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...
