Lhasa, Tibet - Lhasa is one of the most important cities in Tibet, and a home of Tibetan food and culture. In this video were going on an ultimate Tibetan street food tour of Lhasa, and additionally well visit the Potala Palace and some of the most significant cultural sights in the city. Lets start eating Tibetan food #Lhasa #Tibet #TibetanFood #streetfood Potala Palace - To begin the morning we started off visiting the Potala Palace, a fortress dzong, with tombs, chapels, and assembly halls, and once the seat of the Dalai Lama. Today its still used as a monastery, and a school for Tibetan Buddhist monks. The magnitude will blow you away. Tibetan Tea House - One of the best parts of culture in Lhasa is the tea house culture. There are big teahouses all over the city, and local Tibetans congregate to drink tea, eat Tibetan food and socialize. I tried some yak noodles, both yak and vegetarian momos, and both sweet and salted tea. Tibetan yak noodles - 6 RMB (0. 84) per bowl Tibetan Teahouse #2 - Located just off Barkhor Street, on this Tibetan street food tour, we then went to another teahouse, this one probably the largest and most well known local spots in Lhasa. The ambiance was incredible, so vibrant and so energetic. Since I had just had yak noodles, we chose to try some friend noodles and tea, and soak in the Tibetan culture. Dzomo Cheese - Hybrid between yak and cow - Next we tried some dzomo cheese on the streets of Lhasa, very good and slightly animaly. Laping noodles - Price - 5 RMB (0. 70) per bowl - One of my favorite of all Tibetan street foods is laping, a type of noodle, sliced off, then mixed with chili oil and spices. Its the perfect light and flavorful street food snack. Legendary Yak Momos - Price - 1 RMB (0. 14) per piece - On the corner, just outside the Barkhor Street circle, is a famous yak momos hole in the wall restaurant. The momos were hot and fresh, made right before you order them, and they were some of the best yak momos Ive ever had. Cheese Fungus Soup - 6 RMB (0. 84) per bowl - Dolma mentioned that this Tibetan cheese fungus soup is rare to find nowadays and during this season, so we were lucky to find it. It ate like a porridge and was hearty and filling. Jokhang Temple - Barkhor Street - One of the most important places in Tibetan Buddhism and in Lhasa is Jokhang Temple, and people often walk 3 circles around the temple each morning and evening. Tibetan Food Dinner - Finally for dinner, it wasnt really street food, but it was a local Tibetan style dinner where we tried a number of Tibetan dishes. My favorite was the pickled preserved radish stir fried with yak meat. It was an amazing day in Lhasa, Tibet, lots of delicious Tibetan food, and a chance to learn a lot about Tibetan culture. Thank you to Travel China & Tibet they sponsored my trip to Tibet, and they did an amazing job to cater to the exact things I wanted to do. Highly recommended when you visit Tibet

hi mark I am wondering if you have high altitude reaction there? I heard the best way to avoid it is to take slow train from Chengdu (lower altitude) and gradually get used to the altitude. btw awesome video Love their happy faces and truly friendly folks And beautiful tibwtan texts and calligraphy, looks very artsy I wish I could understand that. my china mainland friends go to Lhasa every year to pray.

love the ppl. dont love the food there for the lack of spices in local cuisine. hence everything smells/tastes very animal-y. not the best foodie experience should you feel a bit below par. love the water melons in lhasa though, which is actually from ningxia. i was told when a group of marathon/hikers went to tibet they cohired a nipal cook. which made every sense.
