Shigatse food
Local food:
Similar with other areas, Shigatse’s restaurants vary in different levels, but they share one common theme toward the characteristics of the Zang nationality. For example, the southern street behind Shigatse Sangzi Hotel stands plenty of restaurants which are decorated with: dog feet wooden table, iron furnace, eight omens china bowl, the Zang futon, auspicious totems and frescos all that represents the spirit for which the Zang people are pursuing.
In those restaurants, the specialties include: the Zang beer, buttered tea, Mongolian boiled lamb/beef, Yak tongue salad, dumplings, zanban, air-dried beef, the Zang yoghurt, roasted sausage, sweet tea and so on and so forth. Alongside the bus stops, an assortment of snacks showcase in the night markets where new flavors drift into the hectic crowds, which are worth a try. In the heart of the district of Jiefang North Road and Qomolangma Road is the gathering of restaurants of the Zang and Sichuan, which gives you multiple choices in the case that the Zang’s snacks are over-ate.
There is one thing has to be mentioned: the pure Zang food is offered in the rural areas rather than the downtown city, because the residents there are not in favor of the traditional taste.
One of the local staple foods is Zanba mixed with buttered tea. In addition, buttered tea is a nourishing beverage in daily life, which can help remove the cold and altitude reaction from uncomfortable people after they step inside the Zang area.
Thanks to the natural environment of the high land, the Zang has partiality for meat, especially yak and sheep meat. Out of quite amount of cooking, the air-dried meat produced along the Yangzhuoyong Lake receives a world-wide fame with the delicious flavor which leads a person to endless aftertastes.
Another must-have experience prevailing upon other areas’ is the decent yoghurt. After intermingled with sugar, the yoghurt quickly becomes the favorite savor in your mouth which is bet to try it again.
