Nepali food truck thrives at Canberra sports ground after six weeks

Rajesh Chaudhary opened a Nepali food truck at Harrison District Playing Fields six weeks ago. It has grown busier every day.

Rajesh Chaudhary gave up courier work to open The Sekuwa Shack. This Nepali food truck is parked at Harrison District Playing Fields.

It sells sekuwa (grilled meat skewers in spices), momos (dumplings), chow mein and meat pie. After six weeks, it is getting busier every day.

This is especially true during sports games at the oval. Chaudhary said cooking has been a lifelong passion.

The food truck lets him share Nepali culture with his community. Nepali people are one of Canberra's fastest-growing populations.

Food trucks like this are a natural way to build connection and support.
