Tibetan Food in Shigatse - TRADITIONAL BREAKFAST in Tibet!

SHIGATSE, TIBET - Along with Lhasa, Shigatse is one of the most important and largest cities in Tibet. We had the honor to explore Shigatse for the day, learn about the city, eating Tibetan food, and learn about the amazing Tibetan culture. #Shigatse #Tibet #food

Tibetan breakfast - There’s nothing better to eat for breakfast in Tibet than tsampa - roasted barley flour, mixed with yak cheese, yak butter, and sugar, and formed into small hand-squeezed balls. It grows like a loaf of bread in your stomach - it’s so hearty and filling. The best part of the experience was eating it in a local home and watching them as they made it for breakfast, the common way they do everyday for breakfast. The butter tea was excellent.

Tibetan food lunch - We went to a local family restaurant for lunch we we tried a number of Tibetan, and specifically Shigatse foods, including dumpling in soup, a fried bread stuffed with yak, fried sheep lungs, and Tibetan blood sausage. It was a heavy and meaty lunch, and the food was delicious.

Tashilhunpo Monastery - As the palace of the Panchen Lama (second most important spiritual figure in Tibetan Buddhism), the Tashilhunpo Monastery is one of the most sacred and important sites in Shigatse. After walking around the temple complex in the morning, we then went into the temple complex in the afternoon.

It was a great day of food, exploring, and learning in Shigatse, Tibet.

Love your Tibet series, very refreshing as not many have cover this

18:37 it looks amazingly like donuts that we eat here and we call "sfendj" which gives in English "sponge" and in French "éponge"
except that it does not accompany salty foods
we eat it mostly at breakfast or afternoon tea

here sheep intestine sausages are stuffed with pieces of lungs, rice, chickpeas, onions, parsley and other spices
there is an identical recipe for cooking
the sheep's paunch
these are usually dishes of Eid el adha, a Muslim religious holiday

it is extraordinary because we see a consistent cuisine in a country full of spirituality !

it's as if we were really in this beautiful and simple country at the same time!



Greetings from Algeria !

The Tibetan culture has so much beauty within, the vibrant colors and well crafted items are just mind blowing, to me. When Mark relaxed after lunch and said the lungs and the flour were hitting him...I couldn't help but to laugh. Hey Ying and Micah!!
