Bhungro Restro

We were in search of new restaurant to try different taste. As we stroll around basanatapur, we saw a restaurant banner behind a temple. "what an unusual place to open a  restaurant ?" was the first question that popped up in my head. We were so curious to know what exactly is behind that small door. We didn't waste a minute and walked into the restaurant.

Few people were lighting up candles as it was Tihar.  I saw a room with two pool tables and few players enjoying their evening. Then what I saw after that was unexpected. May be due to its location (next to the Hanuman Dhoka Jail!) and small door - I expected a small newari resturant with momo as main dish "local type" where you sit in a lean wooden bench and enjoy your momo with lots of soup. Instead there was small garden with few sittings and a old beautiful traditional house and I must say well maintained. I wished to explore more so we get inside. To my surprise, it was no less than the restaurants at Thamel.  I loved the lights, sitting arrangements, ambiance and the music. They also have a small bar in there .

We just ordered coffee, we did not order other dish as we had to hurry. But I went through their menu and price was not as high as we find in the restaurants in Thamel (resonable price) and they have continental dish along with newari food items and sticks.

Next time, my gathering with friends will be definitely at Bhungro Restro. Must challenging job will be to find the resturant ; ). For your hint, it is opposite to Kal-bhairb and next to the jail of Hanuman Dhoka Durbar Square. There is an art school in the same building. You can view the photographs and hunt down the place.




Behind this temple you will find the restaurant.




I will really appreciate if you can post your experience at this place.

Bajey ko sekuwa - what are they doing with their brand?


On our way to people's dental hospital we saw Bajey ko sekuwa restaurant at sorakhutte and we were so eager to get try that resturant. We had such a nice impression of “Bajey ko sekuwa” after we visited the restaurant at battisputali. The ambience and the food were both good there. When we reached “Bajey ko sekuwa” at sorakhutte, the building looked ok and the kitchen was first before we entered the building which also looked ok with few cooks and helpers. There were around 5 rooms in first floor and we choose one and waited for waiter to come and take orders. The floors were not cleaned , the furniture were old and dirty seemed like abandoned house with old lamps. We got bored as no one appeared so we decided to leave. When we left the restaurant, the people at the kitchen were not even concerned about it. In Nepal brand does not have any value, even the well know restaurant chain has such customer service. From next time, I will not go with brand name in case of restaurants as there is no consistency of service or quality.


Then we went to Harati restaurant , a typical newari restaurant with low price . we ordered tuccha( set with beaten rice, bhatmas , haku chuela , aluachar, and kachila ) and mixed chatamari along with some soft drinks. I am not a really good fan of kachila which is uncooked meat, otherwise tuccha set was good but I really enjoyed chatamari. Sadly, Harati restaurant no longer provide momo due to lack of LPG. According to the owner, the restaurant currently was unable to provide momo due to lack of gas but it will keep on serving other newari recipes to its customers. I would definitely recommend to try Harati restaurant at sorakhutte.

lyrics of "Lips Of An Angel" by hinder

"Lips Of An Angel"
Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now.
Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fightNo I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweetComing from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why you calling me so late?

About Laughter

A friend of mine send it to me and I really agree with it

"Laughter is the best medicine!! It changes your very chemistry, your brain waves. It makes you more intelligent. Those parts of your brain that were asleep suddenly become awake. Laughter reaches to the very source of your brain, the heart. Someone who laughs won,t have a heart attack. If you are laughing you will not commit suicide. Laughter will bring you to a world of silence, because when you stop laughing, suddenly there is a silence. It certainly cleanses you by getting rid of all your garbage. Laughter makes us feel more alive, exciting and creative. The best laugh is the belly laugh, experience it fully, because laughter is the best medicine. "

----thank you keshav. and I agree 100%

Jokes

A man, whose level of drunkenness was bordering on the absurd, stood up to leave a bar and fell flat on his face.

"Maybe all I need is some fresh air," thought the man as he crawled outside.

He tried to stand up again, but fell face first into the mud.

"Screw it," he thought. "I'll just crawl home."

The next morning, his wife found him on the doorstep asleep.

"You went out drinking last night, didn't you?" she said.

"Uh, yes," he said sheepishly. "How did you know?"

"You left your wheelchair at the bar again."

**********************************************************************************
Three idiots decide to go hunting. The first one says he's going to get a buck. He goes out, and indeed comes back with a buck. The other two hunters ask how he did it. He says, "I see tracks. I follow tracks. I get buck."

So the second hunter says that he's going to get a doe. And he does. They ask him how he did it, and he says, "I see tracks. I follow tracks. I get doe."

So the third hunter says, "I'm just gonna shoot at anything I see."

So he goes out and comes back half a day later all beaten, bruised, bloody, and totally trashed. The other two hunters ask him what happened and he says, "I see tracks. I follow tracks. I get hit by train!"

Who is Smarter than the Smartest?

Once four MBA students were boozing till late night and didn't study for the test which was scheduled for the next day. In the morning they thought of a plan. They made themselves look as dirty and weird as they could with grease and dirt. Then they went up to the dean and said that they had gone to a wedding last night and on their return the tyre of their car burst and they had to push the car all the way back and that they were in no condition to appear for the test. The Dean was a Just person so he said that you can have a retest after three days. They said they were ready. On the third day they appeared before the dean. The Dean said that as this was a special condition all four were required to be in separate rooms for the test. They all agreed as they had prepared well in last three

The test consisted of two question with a total marks of 100.
