Tibet Food Restaurants
1 min readTibetan cuisine is basic and hardy and most dishes derive from yak milk and meat aswell as barley flour.Because of the harsh climate，vegetables and fruits are scarce.
Tsamba（zanba）is made of barley flour and is a local staple.It’s often mixed into porridge and eaten with butter tea for breakfast.
Yak steaks are commonly eaten.Mao niu rou jiang（maoniu rou jiang ）is made from ground yak steaks in a meaty sauce.Dried yak（fenggan rou）is made by mixing cuts of yak meat with salt and chilies then hanging them to dry.Any time is good for a cup of butter tea（suyou cha）made from a mixture of yak butter，tea and salt；occasionally milk and eggs will also be mixed in.Tasty yak yogurt（suannai）is a refreshing treat.
Another popular drink is barley wine（qingkejiu）；it’s a little sweet.
Reflecting Tibet’s accessibility，an international medley of cuisines is now readily available.Lhasa to is close Nepal and northern India so representative restaurants are particularly good.Thanks to the many Sichuan migrants to Tibet，many restaurants serve up spicy Sichuan cuisine.
