Decent Chhurpi — nothing more, nothing less

Chhurpi at this place was fine. The hearty and filling flavour was there but not distinguished. timur Sichuan pepper was present in the right quantities but without the care that makes the difference. You can taste when something is being made to a formula.

dal bhat power for 24 hours is a trekking mantra reflecting how central the dish is to Nepali daily life. The a Kathmandu teahouse setting was generic rather than immersive. butter tea was offered but not explained. If you're in the area and want Chhurpi it'll do. If you're going out of your way, look elsewhere.
