The food in Nepal was really great. I only wish I had tried more new things, but I blame that on the momos.
Momos, or dumplings, were something I had really been looking forward to. Sean and I are dumpling-obsessed, after falling in love with Adelaide’s Chinatown offerings of fried pork dumplings.
In China, we scoffed countless steamed dumplings into our mouths, and when we arrived in Kathmandu, we were ready for more. I was excited to try the buffalo momos, as I had very fond memories of an amazing buffalo burger I once had in Laos.
The momos in Kathmandu greatly surpassed our expectations.
On our first day in Kathmandu, we found ourselves a nice rooftop restaurant, called Elite. We pulled up a chair next on the balcony, ordered a local beer and a plate of fried buffalo momos.
