Amdo Cafe

A local jewelry shop owner recommended this restaurant. The menu has a wide variety of Tibetan food but we stuck with the "safest" dishes (probably because it wasn't me who did the ordering). The food can be quite spicy and by now (4th day in Ladakh), my mouth is starting to develop tiny blisters from the dehydration and energy deficiency, so it became painful and annoying to eat spicy food.


Mutton thukpa - this is a slightly different variation. Instead of long noodles, these are bite-size noodle pieces.


Phing sha, eaten with tingmo (below).


Tingmos - steamed buns, texture and tastes very similar to the Chinese baos.


Mutton momos.


I think this fried-noodle dish is called Thantuk.

Would we return?
Yes.

Address:
On Main Bazar Road. It's not hard to find even though it doesn't really have an address. Just ask around, I'm sure a friendly local will tell you how to get here.
