What places, what foods, what mnemonics!

KATHMANDU, April 18: Despite not being allowed outside the college premises during lunch hours, the students of Trinity International College at Dilli Bazaar Heights manage to explore various local eateries in the vicinity after their classes are over.



Food items from the likes of fried rice, samosa to momo, chowmein, burger, and sandwich are easily available in the school canteen at reasonable prices, as per the students, but hanging out away from the eyes of teachers and without the compulsion to behave under a certain degree of discipline, as it is in schools and colleges, is obviously more fun.[break]



Here are some of the local food joints that some of the past students of the college fondly recall and the current students regularly stop by.



Kakako Pasal

It is also sometimes referred to as ‘Didiko Pasal.’ Located at the Putali Sadak Chowk, the place is famous for samosa, alu chop and stick-food. It also happens to be on the way to another one of their usual hangout spots. Just a few meters ahead from Kakako Pasal is an alley that houses a small chiya pasal where students gather for morning tea.



Humpty Dumpty Pasal

These mnemonics that students come up with, especially for their hangout spots, are certainly amusing. The place, which is just beside the college gate, was named after the products that students mostly buy from this shop, (small) packets of Humpty Dumpty noodles. The retail store also has a small space where students go for tea, play the guitar that’s always there and laze around. The salon beside the shop is where the college sends off students with long hair for haircuts.



Kavreli Bhojanalaya

Kavreli Bhojanalaya offers regular restaurant items on its menu, and one of the main reasons for its popularity is Sound Garden, the practice room on the floor below the eatery.



Kavreli Momo Pasal

Just around the corner from Trinity College is this small place catering fast food to needy college students.



Brother’s Food Café

This place quickly earned the name of Daiko Pasal for reasons very obvious. Throughout the years, Daiko Pasal has become the place where most occasions are celebrated, from birthday treats, anniversary treats to treats when someone gets a girlfriend. It serves stick-food and fast food and the Dai there even lets students eat on credit.
