My Blog Or Website When I'm Not Yelping...I'm showing off Queens on the @QNSLUV blog
My Second Favorite Website Don't Tell Anyone Else But...I want to stand on a heap of trash in a junkyard and walk away w/ a hubcap.
All the way in the back is Nepalese/Tibetan food. I like to buy their momos. They come eight pieces in a Styrofoam container. I started out with beef. Once, I watched the juice of the momos quickly coagulate. I now shy away from the beef fat and have moved on to the chicken momos. The veggie momos take 10 minutes to steam and I like my food fast when I'm starving off the train. I have yet to try the healthiest option of momos. The beef and chicken ones are just always readily available.
There are two dipping sauces that come with the momos- a buttery sweet Tamarind one or the put your mouth on fire tomato chutney one. I like to get both and switch back and forth.
A lot of people say that the momos at Namaste Tashi Delek Momo Dumpling Palace are not the best but I like them. They are a nice introduction to momos and to me they most resemble a Chinese dumpling, plump and crescent shaped. The dough is not too thick. The wrapped is strong enough to hold the filling and hearty enough to warm the belly. I eat them like a meal.
On cold days I like to buy the chicken soups with Thukpa thin noodles almost like spaghetti or Thentuk hand pulled thick noodles. The soup tastes homemade and are quite substantial. I like to put the soy based sauce into it with the peppers. It gives it a nice spicy, sour, vinegarish flavor.
If you pay in cash, they charge $1 cheaper. The steam table looks good with lots of potatoes and chicken. You won't run out of options with Namaste Tashi Delek Momo Dumpling Palace. You just gotta be a little adventurous.
