Oh the momos!

When preparing for our trip to Nepal both Emma and I started taking probiotics to help built our gut health. We also visited the Travel Clinic and were given a prescription for Azithromycin Dehydrate for Traveller's Diarrhea.

We also bought water purification tablets as the tap water in Nepal is not safe to drink for us or the Nepali people. They boil the water before drinking it. We boil it and the add the water purification tablets.

Despite choosing to be very cautious we are both keen to try some Nepali foods. Cathy warned us to avoid eating fresh greens and choose foods that have been made fresh and that are served hot. She is familiar with a number of restaurants close to our hotel so we have been trying different things.

Oh the momos! Momos are steamed dumplings filled with chicken, "veg", or "buff". You get 6-8 on a plate and can pour sauce over them. They are very yummy.

We have also eaten chicken Thukpa which is a chicken soup with thick noodles. The broth is so tasty.

For breakfast we eat yogurt and musli with a banana. We can eat fruit if it can be peeled. I was so excited to buy some oranges to eat.

There is a tourist cafe just down the way from Tajaa Pha that serves delicious cakes and coffee. They have a really nice garden patio that we enjoy sitting in. There is a bookstore with a large selection of English books in it joining the cafe. It is nice to browse through the books on Nepal.
