Since Nepal is pinched between China and India, lots of the food here is very India/China influenced.
Momos are one of the foods that have been successfully imported from China. They're super delicious, whether boiled or fried, and can be filled with Chicken, Water Buffalo, Vegetables....all kinds of stuff really. And the sauce that comes with them is usually approximately the right amount of spicy, with a good bit of sweet tang to it.
One of my favorite foods that I've encountered here. Above are some momos that I ate at Kathmandu International Study Centre, where I've been studying Nepali for the past month.
(They also have real drip coffee, a rarity in Nepali households. So good!)
Due to this reporters error, a previous version of this post stated that Nepal shares a small border with Bhutan, which is inaccurate. Nepal is bordered only by China, to the north, and India to the south, east and west.
that looks sooo good!
