What to Eat in a Bhutanese Canteen

What to Eat in a Bhutanese Canteen 🔥🔥🔥The knee-length one-piece work attire worn by men, resembling a skirt, is called "Gho", paired with mid-calf socks. Bhutanese cuisine is deeply influenced by India. Along with the introduction of Buddhism, trade, and various Indian teachers, Bhutan's Buddhist-influenced diet has also become part of the "spiritual practice" for tourists from developed countries visiting here. A small country must have exceptional ways of survival—here, English is the second language after the mother tongue. Residents with fluent English can be found everywhere on Bhutan's streets and alleys. Europeans regard Bhutan as the "Eastern Vatican" and come here for "hardship vacations", so language is naturally a basic requirement. 📍📍📍 Language is related to diet. Even Bhutan's adaptation of the "Western one-plate meal" format is seamlessly integrated. Basically, a meal here consists of rice, vegetables, cheese with chili, potatoes, eggplants, and the like... It's just a simple meal, and most restaurants serve almost the same things. Even the Swiss Restaurant I had high expectations for (run by the first Swiss person to obtain local citizenship in Bhutan) is no exception. It's much simpler than the average Chinese community canteen—one could say it's simplified to the extreme. If you ask Europeans how the food is, they will say, "Food here is from heaven." I, an ordinary mortal, have finally understood what it means to "live on wind and dew like a fairy". Nima, this canteen, obviously offers international-style improved meals, mainly serving Indian dishes. Indian Roti wrapped with mustard greens, long beans, radishes, and chili—with the addition of Indian-spiced chickpeas (chana) I ordered—the crisp and crunchy texture made me feel happy. Of course, if you like spicy food, you can also add that beef jerky-like stuff, which is actually local Bhutanese vegan sausage. It has a bit of meaty toughness, and I think it's quite like Bhutanese spicy strips.❤️❤️❤️ Vegetable manchurian is actually fried vegetable balls. The word "manchurian", which represents the geographical culture of the Manchu people, makes me think endlessly about the heritage of horseback cuisine in this mysterious small country at the heart of the Himalayas. The local dialect term for "delicious" is pronounced "jinbell ra"—doesn't it sound like "Jingle bells ring" of a horse? #UnforgettableFlavors #food #LocalLife #Bhutan #BhutanTravel #BhutaneseCulture #BhutaneseFood #DailyShare #MyFoodDiary
