Dine in other parts of Tibet
The Ngari diet consists mainly of cheese, cow hooves, acidophilus milk and
ghee. It tastes a bit salty and sour, but helps people get adapted to the cold
climate of Tibet. Having dinner in Ngari is expensive. A bowl of noodles costs
10 RMB. There are several Xinjiang restaurants opened by locals at Shiquanhe
Town. However, due to the poor conditions along the way to Ngari, tourists
should probably take along some food.
Shigatse boasts several local
dishes such as Tibetan sausage, highland barley wine and yak butter shapu
(smashed meat). All these dishes can be found in the night fair near the bus
station. Recommended restaurants:

Crowned as "the Jiangnan of Tibet", Nyingchi differs from the rest of Tibet
for its abundance of fruits and is famous for its local delicacies. Nyingchi's
most special dish is luoba, or grilled mountain rats. Due to the humid climate
of Nyingchi, a lot of the food uses hot chili. Recommended restaurants are the
Tan Family's Dish, the Sichuan Restaurant on the eastern part of Shenzhen Avenue
and the Red Mansion next to the public security office.
Food in Lhokha differs from that of the rest of Tibet because of its Sichuan
influence. A good place to try is Jinhe restaurant. Typical delicacies of Jinhe
Restaurant are chicken and camel meat. Besides Sichuan food, Jinhe also provides
western food like steak, pizza and fried chicken as well as Tibetan food.
Jinhe Restaurant Location: No.39, Naidong road, Zedang Town (next to the
local agricultural bank), Lhokha Telephone: 0893-7824888/13618936773
Food and drink in Nakchu bear strong Tibetan characteristics and the
traditional staple food is roasted highland barley flour (tsamba). However, at

serving Sichuan food.
