a bowl of soup

A box of steamed Momos. If you ever go to Tibet, Nepal or even India, do not miss this dish. Momo is the colloquial form of the Tibetan word "mog mog". The dish is believed to have spread to Nepal along with the influx of the Tibetan diaspora. Since this dish was initially popular among the Newar community of the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, one prevalent belief is that traveling Nepali Newar merchants took the recipe of momo from Tibet where the Nepali Newar Merchants used to go to trade, and brought it back home to Nepal.
