Kathmandu may evoke different feelings to different persons for me – it reminds of spicy, fiery, delicious momos.
But you might ask what is in Kathmandu Momo? After all, momo is not even a Nepali cuisine. It is Chinese. Have you ever tasted Chinese Momo, also called Dumplings? You cannot really compare these two. For me, Kathmandu’s momo is way-way better than Chinese dumplings. Don’t agree with me? Head to Kathmandu, now and try Momos there.
As the most consumed food or snacks, Momo’s popularity is evident from the sight of the number of Momo food stalls in the streets and Momo restaurants around every nook and corner. When you are in Kathmandu, you cannot cross a Kathmandu’s street without finding a Momo Restaurant. Now! that’s for the popularity of Momo!
