Bhutanese Tibetan Street Food in Thimphu, Bhutan - TIBETAN UNCLE! (Day 11)
Well, Bhutan doesn’t really have much street food, but Tibetan Uncle is about as close to the street food atmosphere in Thimphu as you can get, and it’s amazing.
►Subscribe for more videos:
On Day 11 of our food and travel trip to Bhutan, we were in Thimphu. We met up with Matt for breakfast and he took us to a place he named Tibetan Uncle, a friendly uncle who makes an assortment of Bhutanese and Tibetan food. The little restaurant is as local and street food style as you can get in Thimphu, tucked in a tiny little room at the back of a strip mall.
Tibetan Uncle (Peace Restaurant) - Order anything he has for the day, everything is good at Tibetan. The momos and chili sauce were amazing, and the beef phingsha and Tibetan food curry and ting momos were delicious.
Zombala Restaurant - One of the first restaurants in all of Bhutan is Zombala restaurant, located in the heart of Thimphu. They specialize in light meals like momos, fried rice, and chow mein. The momos were again excellent.
Bhutan Kitchen Restaurant - For dinner we went to Bhutan Kitchen restaurant, another traditional Bhutanese food restaurant in Thimphu. For traditional Bhutanese food, I thought this was one of the better sit down restaurants in Thimphu.

►Subscribe for more videos:
On Day 2 in Thimphu, Bhutan, we hung around town and did some eating.
Ambient Cafe - To begin with, we headed to Ambient Cafe, one of the Western style cafes in the heart of Thimphu. They also roast their own coffee - I thought their coffee was excellent.
Tibet Kitchen - For lunch we went to Tibet Kitchen restaurant in Thimphu to eat Tibetan food. The food was amazing, and I especially enjoyed the Sichuan pepper and chili sauce to garnish my dishes.
Thai Food - For dinner we went to a Thai restaurant in Thimphu. To be honest the Thai food was pretty bad, but it is pretty amazing that you can even get Thai food in Thimphu. I would recommend sticking with local Bhutanese, Indian, and Tibetan food when you’re in Bhutan.

Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant serves some of the best Bhutanese food you’ll ever eat.
►Subscribe for more videos:
If there’s one Bhutanese food restaurant you have to eat at when you’re in Bhutan it’s the Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant. This was probably the best Bhutanese food meal that I had in all of Bhutan. The food and the knowledge of Bhutanese culture was amazing.
Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant - They also have a museum, but the best reason to come here is for their restaurant. They aim to really preserve traditional Bhutan culture and food. Even though I had been in Bhutan for almost two weeks already, I tried some very unique Bhutanese dishes at Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant and also got a lesson on how to eat traditional Bhutanese food. This is one of the world’s greatest Bhutanese restaurants and preservations of Bhutanese culture in Thimphu.
Here are some of the main Bhutanese dishes we ate:
Suja - herbal butter tea
Sweet buckwheat
Bitter buckwheat noodles
Dried fiddlehead ferns
Roasted barley dough
Bamboo shoots and fermented beans
Dried beef with fermented yak cheese
Sikam paa - dried pork with chilies
Chanterelle mushrooms
Ema datshi - chillies and cheese
Bhutanese chicken curry
Kewa datshi - potatoes and cheese
After our huge Bhutanese food lunch we had some Indian food with Matt including some momos and paratha for dinner.
It was a great day of food in Thimphu, Bhutan!

MASSIVE Bhutanese Food Dinner - 15+ Spicy Dishes! + Sightseeing in Thimphu | Bhutan
???? MyBhutan:
???????? Visit Bhutan:
???? WATCH: More Bhutan Episodes -
My fifth day in Bhutan continued with another outstanding afternoon and evening in the capital city, Thimphu. Come along with me as I enjoy a massive, mouthwatering Bhutanese food dinner of over 15 spicy dishes after I do some sightseeing around Thimphu, Bhutan!
My guide from MyBhutan, Tsheten, started at the National Memorial Chhorten, which was built in the memory of His Majesty the Third Druk Gyalpo Jigme Dorji Wangchuk.
The stupa is surrounded by green grounds and there are 10 prayer wheels to the left. Mostly elderly people come there to pray. The stupa is beautiful and has five golden spires on it. I could hear chanting inside as we walked in a circle around it.
From there, we hopped back in the car and headed to a field where they practice archery. Here, they shoot at targets from 140 meters away using professional compound bows. There was a sharpshooter there who hit the target from that distance!
Then, we headed over to the post office, where you can customize your own stamp and buy postcards. It costs 500 Nu/$6.67 USD to make your own stamp from any photo on your phone. The postcards cost 30 Nu/$0.40 USD each. For 40 Nu/$0.53, you can send the postcard anywhere in the world! I sent three: one to my wife and one each to my two daughters.
Next, we headed to Coronation Park, which is home to a tall, gilded, standing Buddha made in the Thai style. It’s right next to the Wangchu River and stands on a golden lotus.
Then, we headed to the downtown area. The buildings were mostly shops on the bottom floor, with restaurants, bars, and other businesses on the second floors. The third floors are mostly residential.
Next, it was time for dinner at the Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant. They give you starters before the main meal, including suja (butter tea), ara, cucumber salad with cow cheese, veggie momos, pork feet, ezay, and puffed rice.
I started with the suja with puffed rice in it. I liked this butter tea because it wasn’t so buttery, and I really enjoyed the puffed rice!
Then, I went with the phenomenal veggie momos with spicy ezay, a sip of ara, and cucumber salad with the ezay. Then, I had the gelatinous, fatty, and bony pig feet with ezay. The alcohol helped temper the heat. The cucumber salad and cow cheese reminded me of a Greek dish with feta. I also loved the cabbage inside the momos.
Next, we had some light mushroom broth, red rice, 9 grain salad, bitter buckwheat pancakes, mixed vegetables, ema dashti made with dried red chilies and cheese, dried pork, chicken, dried beef with radish, kewa dashti (potatoes with cheese), French beans, and chili salsa. I couldn’t wait to dive in!
Tsheten made my plate for me. I tried the buckwheat pancake with some ezay in it. It was like a Bhutanese taco. It was so good and spicy and opened up my sinuses! It wasn’t that bitter. Then, I went for the radish, which was nice and spicy as well.
The cauliflower in the mixed vegetables was good, as were the long beans. The chili salsa was great, and the ema dashti was made from bird’s eye chilies from India. The cheese melted throughout was so amazing!
Then, I went for the kewa dashti, or potatoes with cheese. I tried it with the ezay on top. It was hot! Next was the chicken and buckwheat. The buckwheat was great! The dried beef was like a super dense beef jerky. But the ema dashti was the best! I also loved the fatty pork! What a meal! It was the best I’d had so far in Bhutan!

On Day 8 of our food and travel trip to Bhutan, we spent the night at Haa Valley Homestay and woke up to a beautiful morning. We spent the day exploring Haa Valley, and eating local Haa Valley Bhutanese food.
For breakfast I had butter tea (suja), and ezay chili dip made from a tree tomato.
Chogo - That’s the rock hard cheese I tried in Haa Valley town. It was unique, I spent about ½ an hour chewing on and barely even scratching the surface. You can suck on this rock hard cheese for a long time.
Hoentay - Hoentay are the local Haa Valley buckwheat dumplings, which are known throughout Bhutan and Bhutanese food you can’t miss when you’re in Haa Valley.

Bhutanese VILLAGE FOOD in the Capital + Archery, Ara & Cultural Performances | Thimphu, Bhutan
???? MyBhutan:
???????? Visit Bhutan:
???? WATCH: More Bhutan Episodes -
My incredible fourth day in Bhutan continued in the capital city, Thimphu. Come with me as I enjoy some delicious Bhutanese village food in the capital, try my hand at archery, drink some ara, and enjoy a cultural performance in Thimphu, Bhutan!
I began my afternoon by heading to Simply Bhutan, a museum that shows how locals lived in remote areas of the country back in the day.
My guide Tsheten and I went inside and met the woman who would be showing us around. We made our way to a stone hut, where we enjoyed some ara. It had a smoky flavor and was different from other ara I’d had.
We also saw photographs of all of Bhutan’s kings, and then saw how they build mud houses, which includes a prayer song. Then, we saw a stone tool that turn to grind rice flour and a stone bath.
Next, we saw some colorful phalluses similar to the ones I saw at the temple of fertility Punakha. I also saw some dried red chilies hanging on the walls outside and a traditional kitchen.
Then, we visited the souvenir shop, which sells the Bhutanese gho, which is traditional clothing for men. They cost 2,000 Nu/$26.38 USD. It cost an extra 500 Nu for the belt, so it was $32.97 USD total.
Then, we went to play some archery! They do a dance and song whenever someone hits the target. I hit the target and joined the guys in their victory dance!
Next, we headed to the dining hall to have lunch, where we saw another traditional performance. Our meal consisted of ema dashti, pork, ezay, chicken, rice, puffed rice, buckwheat noodles, and cabbage. We started with suja with puffed rice. I’m not a huge fan of the amount of butter in it, but it was better with the puffed rice in it.
Then, I tried a creamy spinach soup, some fresh and delicious cabbage, and a mild ezay.
The ema dashti was spicy and creamy, and I loved the chicken and buckwheat noodles with the ezay. The gravy from the chicken was great with the rice. I also had dried chilies, which tasted sweet, almost like they were caramelized.
I also loved the juicy, oily pork. The ema dashti and the buckwheat noodles together was like a creamy pasta dish!
I also enjoyed some more smoky ara, which is mixed with sandalwood.
Then, we left for a Tashiccho Dzong, a 17th century fortress built by the unifier, the Tibetan scholar who arrived in Bhutan that century. After the capital was moved to Thimphu in 1962, the fortress was enlarged and the new complex was consecrated in 1968.
I had to take off my gho because it has to be 100% traditional when you visit the fortress. The fortress was massive with a huge flag out front with two royal guards below it. The fortress was super impressive, beautiful, and colorful.
Inside were gorgeous paintings and depictions of the walls of dragons, the god of energy, and many others. There’s also a huge courtyard where they used to perform the festival that they now do in Punakha. There’s also a temple. The fortress is divided into two sections: the religious and administration areas. Visitors can only visit the religious area.
There are over a dozen beautiful monasteries inside the fortress. You can see elephants, tigers, Garuda, and snow leopards depicted on their exteriors. I couldn’t take photos or videos inside the temple, where we saw about 50 monks chanting inside as well as the Buddha, the unifier, and the second Buddha.
What an amazing Bhutanese village food experience in Thimphu, Bhutan!
