Cafe De Tukche - Nepali Restaurant @ Bangsar, KL
No Pork, No Lard
My First Taste of Nepali Regional Cuisine!
Kuala Lumpur’s culinary scene is diverse, but Nepali cuisine is a rare find.
This restaurant in Bangsar serves “Thakali cuisine,” which has its roots in the Mustang region of Nepal.
The spices used to create harmony are appetizing, resulting in a flavor that’s spicy yet gentle.
Although it’s a foreign cuisine, it felt somehow nostalgic and easily suited my palate—a truly new culinary experience.
The mutton momos (dumplings) are juicy and a must-order. Everyone’s favorite momos come in a variety of types and cooking styles to choose from. The Thakali Thali Set is a set meal featuring a chewy, buckwheat dough staple served with curry, and you can even get refills on the side dishes. The fried potatoes seasoned with sichuan pepper and the chips made from Himalayan buckwheat flour were dishes I’d never encountered before, and they’re perfect with a beer.
