Day 3 after shopping around Thamel area, we adjourned to Thamel House Restuarant to taste local Nepalese & Newar Foods.
Thamel House is a traditional house built in the Pagoda architectural style, appended with marvelously adorned wood carved windows doors and brick walls at a glance, you will see that the building has been taken care of lovingly and graciously and that it is clean and well maintained. This is the Thamel House Restaurant, a traditional restaurant with fine cuisine.

1st Floor dining area. Nepalese dining is very much like Japanese style.
We were booked to be at top floor(2nf floor) where there is bar.
One of the Nepalese tradition is to welcome you with a welcome drink: rice wine. The waiter are very skillful in serving us the wine without dropping a drop from 4-5 ft away from the small little wine cup.
Camwhoring while waiting for the foods. Ven Osel, Ven Dechen, Geshela Tenzin Zopa and I.
June, Mdm Wong, Shirley, Ven Osel, Ven Dechen and Geshela.
We were told that Nepalese set consists of 84 different types of dishes and we will be serves with more than 15 types (I lost count). Each dish are serve in a small portion.
Potatoes
Eggs
Chicken
Momo (quite similar to Shanghai Xio long Boa).
Soup
Dessert and many more.
It was really a nice experience and the foods are really good.
The restaurant has a unique design for me.
ReplyDeletewah.. what is the guy demo ? hehe.. is water or tea ?
The photos of the food a bit blur..
Keeyit: This Nepalese is showing his skill on pouring wine. Some photos blur due lighting quite dark inside. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely location, I have passed many times by the street. Never Visited the Restaurant. Will visit one day.Nice blog.
ReplyDeleteRestaurent is nice design. Love to see the pics. I just want to point out that you are using wrong word concerning Newars. We are called Newar both in Nepali and English. But you are using"Traditional Nepalese & Newari Foods @ Thamel House Restaurant ". Word "Newar" is both noun and adjective for instance like French. Newar people or Newar food.Foreigner do not understand you what does it mean ? You are using/calling Anglais food to English food.Anglais id French word equivalent to English. Newari is even wrong to use in Nepali(khas) language. It is just Newar. That's all. It is insulting to Call Newari to Newar people. Please correct it. I am going to visit you when I come to Nepal.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much.
