旬食·藏地时令定食(八廓街店)

Come to Lhasa to play, you have to eat well! I originally wanted to go to a small shop full of Tibetans to eat a bowl of Tibetan noodles for 6 yuan, but my companion couldn't stand the strong and solidified smell [JoyTears][JoyTears][JoyTears], so I searched for this "Junshi", which is near the Jokhang Temple. The house number is not conspicuous, but it is very surprising to go in. The ingredients are all found in the mountains. It is a very interesting video of foraging. I ate a bowl of Tibetan wild mushroom chicken soup noodles, which tasted very delicious. It was served with fruits and side dishes, and ordered another portion of yak beef. It was December at this time, and there were newly picked Tianma. It was the first time to taste steamed Tianma with honey. Later, I wanted to taste a small mouthful of noodles, and the store owner happily agreed. I didn't expect that another big bowl was served. Hahaha, it felt like I ate two servings. The environment is also very comfortable. My companion didn't sleep well the day before because of altitude sickness. After eating, he actually fell asleep in the store. It is really a very leisurely store!

Ten-day Tibetan seasonal set meal (Barkhor Street): On the last day of the Tibet trip, I had a flight in the afternoon. I planned to go to Barkhor Street again in the morning. I searched for nearby food and saw this recommended restaurant. My wife's romantic journey 5, Liu Tao and others also came to taste it. Come and taste it before leaving Lhasa. It only opens at 10:30 in the morning. I strolled around and came here when it was open. The decoration style is simple and Japanese. The food is the first Tibetan organic set meal. I ordered a Tibetan wild mushroom chicken soup powder set meal, and seasonal wild vegetables + fruits + organic yak yogurt were given as a gift. The price is more expensive than ordinary rice noodles. The soup base of the rice noodles is very rich and sweet. The menu introduces that the soup base is freshly boiled for 6 hours, using selected wild mushrooms, medicinal materials, native hens, pork bones, etc. Rice noodles can be added once for free. The cold dishes and snacks are also delicious. Because I didn't have breakfast, I ate a bowl and a half of rice noodles by myself, which was enough.

This should be the lightest meal I had in Tibet. It was already past 7 o'clock after taking the photos. I wasn't very hungry. I was thinking about finding a restaurant nearby. I had seen this one before, and the photographer also recommended it. The door is not very obvious, but it's quite interesting inside. The original wood color is very comfortable, and the mushroom theme is also very prominent. The Japanese set meal experience will give everyone a small hot hand towel, which is great. The soup of the mushroom rice noodles is really super fresh, and the rice noodles are also smooth. The yogurt, longan, and dried apples are all delicious. The tea is also delicious. I forgot what it is called. In short, it is very comfortable.

I stayed in Lhasa for 7 days, ate a lot, and learned a lot.    The pace of this city is very slow, and so is the food, which emphasizes slow stewing, slow drinking, and slow chatting.    Maybe it’s because the air on the plateau is thin, and every chew is like living seriously. #Tibetan Food #Lhasa Travel #Travel Alone #Highland Life #Lhasa Daily #Travel Story
