Day 1 Dinner @ Garden Kitchen Home Cooking, Kathmandu

After visiting the Bouddhanath Stupa, Geshe-la brought to this very nice Chinese home cooking restaurant called Garden Kitchen which was recommended by the Koppan Manager.

Garden Kitchen is one of Boudha's hidden gems. As its name suggests, the restaurant is in a garden outside. The foods are great and the prices are very reasonable. 5 minute walk from stupa.

This is the drink that was recommended by Ven, Osel. called Lemon Ginger Honey Tea. Almost everyone tried it and it was really nice. After that, we kept ordering it whenever we had lunch or dinner.
