What's the best food in Kathmandu?
Hand-picked rice Dal Bhat Rice (Bhat) with lentils (Dal) and curry vegetables (Tarkari) is one of the most distinctive dishes in Nepal. Orange Leibi Idebi and Ledu laddu are two kinds of sweets, similar to syrup, which are very popular in Nepal. They are very sweet. Butter Chapati is like a domestic pizza, with butter and a mouthfeel. Nepalese tea, NepaliTea, is heated with fresh milk, boiled with black tea, and finally filtered out of tea. It is very pure and delicious, and it is a drink that must be drunk.
