HUNGER HUNT: Newari Sausages, Red Chyang at Bulal

Leave a comment

This week M&S HUNGER HUNT went to Bulal in Gwarko to stuff ourselves with some Newari-style sausages, mushroom choila and some ‘Hyanguthon’ or red chyaang. Bet you didn’t know about that one!!

If you truly want to eat local, you have to learn to follow your nose into the uncharted world of local, hard-to-find eateries, like Bulal, with its own horde of returning patrons, located at the inner part of Gwarko, right outside Patan, where they serve rare Newari snacks and beverages.

दुधकोशीमा स्थायी पुल बन्नेकाम पुरा नहुँदा खोटाङवासीले हिउँदमा पनि राम्रोसंग मोटरमा यात्रा गर्न पाएका छैनन् । बन्दै गरेको मध्यपहाडी लोकमार्गको अवस्था पनि उस्तै छ ।
आधि अधुरो पुल बनाईमाग्न सडक विभाग घेर्न पुगेका सांसद प्रहरीको कुटाइ खाएर फर्के । जिल्ला अस्पतालको ६ ट्रयाक्टर सामान २६ हजारमा लिलाम गरे । बिरामीको उपचार गर्ने अौजार उपकरण छैन । कोहि खरेडीको मारमा परेका छन् त कसैलाई पिउने पानी छैन । बल्लतल्ल पाएको खानेपानीको योजना पानीको मुहान ILO 169 ले रोकिदियो रे । यस्तै छ पुर्वी पहाडी जिल्ला खोटाङको दु:ख ।
