This is a part of 'project 110, going back and re-filling', writing is happening 8ish months after the date.
Just completed writing about the CG mall a few posts ago, and here we are writing about the food on the ground floor of the building.
This is buy far the most successful part of the building, it's not even a debate. The businesses are in various states of failing elsewhere in the mall, but the food outlets always have some business going on. The seating area has people sipping on their overpriced coffees and slurping their terrible-tasting momo ko jhol.
I had mustang alu, a sandwich, and momo in the food court. The alu was decent, if unconventional, the sandwich reminded me why I should never get sammiches in Nepal due to the disagreeable mayo, and the momo was...just okay, I'll admit it wasn't any worse than an average vegetable momo in Kathmandu. But still, yet another reminder to oneself to not trust anybody on momos but people of the capital, particularly the newars.
Again, lots of young guys and girls who'd finished their SLC exams or +2 exams meeting friends, figuring out the future and stewing in the luxury they hope to find themselves in after they escape the country in foreseeable future. Most conversations were around that as well, but that's neither novel nor interesting. What I did find curious was the presence of a couple of restaurant chains that appeared to have branches all over the country except in Kathmandu. They were decent.
What's the verdict: go here for food, or the movies. The shops are a bad idea.
