Speaking of Lhasa, it has always been a popular tourist city. There are countless tourists coming to Lhasa and countless strategies. However, similar to tourist attractions, generally eating local snacks is nothing more than having both characteristics and delicacies, and the latter is more important. This issue of Lhasa culture will be analyzed for you.
TOP1 Maggie Amy
The stairs in Maggie Amy's restaurant have been trampled down by tourists more than once, because it is really too hot! Maggie Ami means "unmarried mother" in Tibetan. Legend has it that the sixth Dalai Lama Cangyang Gyatso fell in love, and countless people were worried because "the world is safe and secure?" Live up to the Tathagata and live up to your expectations. The reputation here is greater than eating, and the food tastes average (expensive), but the whole restaurant is full of flavor.
TOP2 Qom bean jelly
How did Qom bean jelly catch fire? It's still a mystery? Its taste is really good, but it is far from reaching its peak. It does not use the marketing tactics like hi-tea, nor does it have any advertisements. It seems that from one day, in front of a small shop, many people began to line up. Up to now, for at least five years, business has never been depressed during the peak season. Recommended food, bean jelly, cold noodles, fried potatoes, yak milk, these unit prices are not more than 5 yuan, it is worth a visit.
TOP3 Namaste
"namaste" is a Chinese version of the Nepalese meeting language "namaste", which means friendly welcome. This restaurant has two stores in Lhasa. I recommend the one in the alley of Jokhang Temple. The environment is good and foreigners like to go to this branch. Recommended food, fried lamb chops, chicken/beef curry with nan, pay attention! You must order the curry set meal with Nan. Really, you will love it!
TOP4 Yogurt Shop
Yogurt Shop is located next to the parking lot of Potala Palace, which has a strong tourist atmosphere and contains all kinds of yogurts, especially ice cream yogurts. Note, however, that this yogurt is really sour. People who don't eat sour easily can't finish it. If you like to eat yogurt, you can eat this one, and then go to Jokhang Temple to turn to the ancient tree yogurt on the way, which is also worth a try.
TOP5 Qiongtian Teahouse in Guangminggang
Many people come to Lhasa not to travel, but to enjoy the slow pace of Sunlight City. Every day, they bask in the sun, drink sweet tea, and chat with a group of people, so it passed comfortably. Drinking sweet tea is a necessary diet for Tibetans, just as foreigners can't live without coffee, so sweet tea is also a necessity for them. The most local feature is Qiongtian Teahouse in Guangming Port, but this one has opened a new branch, and we habitually turn the head office into "Old Guangming". One afternoon, a 5-pound bottle of sweet tea, three or two friends, watching cats pacing on the wall and watching Tibetans playing at the door, don't be too comfortable!
TOP6 Akodin Tibetan Bakery
Akodin's desserts are very famous in Lhasa. Many tourists and Lapiao will choose to go there to kill time. A fried potato and a yogurt cake are enough for you to sit from the hot sun to the sunset. There are many branches in Akodin, and the decoration of each one is very literary. I don't recommend it here.
TOP7 stone pot chicken
The stone pot is the most expensive pot in Tibet. The authentic stone pot is produced in Medog and contains many mineral elements beneficial to human body. The chicken soup cooked in this stone pot is stone pot chicken. At present, the most delicious and authentic stone pot chicken I have ever eaten in Tibet is in Sun Island in Lhasa. It is said that this stone pot chicken has been on the food program "China on the tip of the tongue". This stone pot chicken can capture people's appetite without spicy food, and some fungi are added to it, and the soup cooked is very delicious.
TOP8 Qingshui Lotus Vegetarian Restaurant
There are many Buddhists in Tibet, and many of them are vegetarians. This restaurant is one that provides delicious food for vegetarians, and carnivores can also go for a taste. The food is exquisite, the price is low, and the environment is elegant. Looking down from the window, you can see Buddhist believers and tourists coming and going in Jokhang Temple.
TOP9 highland barley wine
highland barley wine is the favorite drink of the Tibetan people, and it is essential for celebrating holidays, getting married, having children and seeing off relatives and friends. When you come to Tibet, many people will want to taste highland barley wine and butter tea. As I said in the title, if the taste is not too exotic, you must avoid butter tea, which is not used to most people. However, the taste of highland barley wine is a little sour, the taste of the wine is very weak, and it is worth a try without alcohol. Recommend a Tibetan home in the alley of Jokhang Temple. When tourists go there, just sit in the living room. Old Ajia will give you a pot (RMB 11) of highland barley wine. After the cup is filled, the old people here will have a friendly drink or three cups with you. There is no need to be formal or polite.
TOP11 air-dried yak meat
this is a special product of Tibet, which is beyond the scope of food. However, it tastes strong, very chewy and delicious. All-air-dried yak meat is sold in specialty stores and supermarkets. Generally, Ajia beef jerky is slightly expensive and tastes authentic.
