The Food Edition

Here's a sampling of the delicious (and spicy foods!) from Nepal.  I miss dhal bhat everyday - I just can't cook it the way Aama could.

Chicken Curry and Jasmine Rice in my 1st Hostel


My 22nd Birthday in Kathmandu!


Chicken Sizzler at OR2K in KTM
 

Best Coconut Biscuit Eva!

Really.

Aama cooking Dhal Bhat (I can't stop salivating, it's that good)
Dhal = Lentil Soup
Bhat = Rice
Tarkari = Veggies (Curry)
Kaankro = Cucumber
Achar = Pickles, often with Coursani = Chili
On rare occasions, dhal bhat is served with Kukura = Chicken.


Buffalo Chili
Spicy and sweet, like everything else in Nepal


Buffalo Cheese
A foamy/chewy texture, but sweet!


MOMO's!
Nepal's version of Xiaolongbao w/spicy sauce


Indian Sweets
The best creation ever!
Apparently, I'm the only volunteer who liked it, but trust me.  I am a great judge of taste.


Kukura (chicken)

 Oh.  They're still alive.....my bad.

Food on the Jungle Safari
Some chow mein, curry, fried rice, and fresh veggies


Dessert Sizzler
better than BJ's in LA - a hot chocolate brownie under melting vanilla ice cream, lightly covered in chocolate fudge sauce - delectable!


A Downright Feast!
There were a lot of holy days/festivals in Nepal - during these times, this was the common carte du jour:

papadums, beaten rice, puff rice, kukura curry, shrimp chips, fresh veggies, dhal, bhat, tarkari, chex-mix like dish



Pad Thai
Best I've had!
A dish at one of the Priciest restaurants in the city.  $5.


A Swiss Rosti Breakfast
Huge Potato Rosti w/onions and parmesan, Greens, Poached Egg, Two Thick pieces of Brown Toast, Honey, Milk Tea
$2


La Vita
Cappuccino and Tiramisu


Harvest Season


Fried Momos


A Nepali Wedding Buffet


Mitho Cha!
