Nepalese Food - Our best meal in Pokhara eating fish in Nepal travel food video transcript:
Well good afternoon from Pokhara (पोखरा). Pokhara (पोखरा). Apparently, that is how it is pronounced. Not Pokhara. Not Pokhara. We've been saying it wrong for a few days but I finally googled it and it is Poker-Ah. Pokhara. Pokhara (पोखरा). I'm sure we're still saying it wrong.
That is what we're going with. And today we're going to be having some Nepali food. We're at one of our favorite restaurants. It is called Olive Cafe and their menu says something like European style with Nepali flavor or something like that.
You drink Everest beer and suddenly you have the ability to climb Everest. Amazing. That is exactly how it works. Or at the very least Everest Base Camp.
The food is here and it looks amazing. Check it out. I'm having something called Chhwelā (छ्वेला). And this is fish from the local lake. It is marinated in secret spices. That is what it says in the menu. They won't even tell you what is in it. I love that. And it is barbecue. That is the best. In the tandoor oven according to the menu so I didn't even see this being prepared. Secret spices.
Well, you've tried my food. Now time to introduce your dish. So the one that I ordered was a Pokhara style curry. And it comes with fish and we had the choice between chicken and pork I believe. And let's stir that around a bit. Oh la lah.
So you can see there is nice big chunks of fish over here too. It looks really good.
It looks like the same fish they used for mine. Yeah. I'm sure it is.
So it also comes with brown rice.
You know what? They said that this was a must try dish on their menu. Yeah. And I totally agree. Like that curry is just so good, so rich. It is like a thick flavorful curry. And then because the fish has obviously been marinated and cooking in there for a long time it is even I think it is even more tender than the fish from your dish. Wow. The fish from your dish. That kind of rhymes a bit.
Dessert is coming. Yes.
Fancy tea time for Sammy the Teddy Bear.
It must mean it is dessert right?
No, tea. So just tea. Well there is cake too.
So take a look at this. I'm going to break the skin here. Do la dooh.
So this is Nepali tea. And I was looking at the ingredients. Ah, I can smell it here.
So I think it is kind of similar to chai but there has been ginger and cinnamon added to this one. Cardamon. Cardamon too.
Now what I've been waiting for. The cake is melting while Sam takes sexy food shots. So this is called Matchaputre Kiss. I believe it is named after a peak if I got that right.
So it is a frozen cake with a cookie layer, some chocolate and a chocolate drizzled all over top as well.
So it looks good.
And now it is time to pay the bill. We got the bill. Um, it came to roughly about $18 or $19 US dollars for all of that food.
Two mains, one dessert. A beer and two other drinks.
So yeah, this part of the town is obviously a bit more expensive. You can definitely find something cheaper. But in terms of quality this is the best we've had. This is our favorite restaurant in Nepal (नेपाल) so far. Love this place and it is called Olive Cafe.
