10 quick food reviews from Nepal from the winter break

1.  Never ever ever eat anything at Gokarna forest resort, they're unbelievably overpriced and the food absolutely sucks yuck. Decent breakfast though.
   
   
2. Unless you know a guaranteed good place, avoid eating momos in general at a new place, particularly the veggie ones.
   
   
3. Tibetan food is as good as it gets, and is getting increasingly popular in Kathmandu. "Keema noodles" isn't something that was there even two years ago and now everybody is eating it left and right.
   
   
4. Crispy fried chicken and burger house isn't that great, unless I guess you're eating the fried chicken stuff. Not particularly affordable either, like it used to be back in the day. Their sandwiches are disgusting, the mayo tastes like the bodily fluid it resembles. And oh the resemblance!
   
   
5. Kathmandu needs more doner kabab places, way more.
   
   
6. Nobody knows how to do herbal tea in Nepal, there's no concept of any other tea besides the 'regular milk tea' even in decent restaurants.
   
   
7. You don't need to call the Naan-inspired pizza 'pizza', it's so good without the pizza connotation though I imagine you probably need the foreign clientele?
   
   
8. Newari food is the GOAT. Not to be stuck to traditional gender roles but it'd be a dream at this point to find a partner who's good at Newari food.
   
   
9. It's still not easy to be a vegetarian, unless you really like Indian food.
   
   
10. So many new places, so much beer, so much money being spent, I wanted to go to the ole' Rumpum cart that I've written for over 12 years now, it's got a sad story behind it, but that didn't happen. Because I was sick etc.
