The Nepalese have dumplings called momo usuall filled with chicken which looks similar to Shanghai Xiao Long Baos.
I have had my fair share of Nepalese dumplings which revolve around steamed or pan fried dumplings served with hot sauce.
At House of Momo they serve a good variety of dumplings and there was one particular one that comes in curry sauce.
First you choose the dumpling, then how it is cooked and then if you want it with curry sauce.
I went for the cheese and veg dumplings, steamed then fried served in curry sauce with some extra Thukpa noodles.
On paying the guy with cash, I was given the wrong change.
While I was waiting for my food, I could hear noodles and rice being cooked which sounded like the stir fries in the Chinese takeaways but with much more effort as it was louder.
When the dumplings came, they did not disappoint.
I tried the dumplings first and inside, it was filled with delicious melted gooey cheese tasting like cheddar.
The curry sauce that it was in was light which really worked as it did not steal the show from the dumplings and it was not spicy.
The thukpa noodles on the other hand were disappointing and the broth was nothing like urban yak.
Went back again for the chilli noodles and requested it without the sauce as it would be too spicy.
It was really nice of them to accomodate the request and served the sauce separate.
You can now find them at Brixton Village.
The taste is the same but the sauce is runnier compared to Dalston and the rice is laced with MSG!!
Nepalese Thukpa.Very different to the other ones I have tried in terms of the broth but still delicious.
The broth was very strong and salty like soy sauce with burnt spring onions which give it that aromatic taste along with garlic.
I loved the julienne crunchy cabbages and the chicken which was crispy on the edges.
The other thukpas I have tried are usually lemony and this wasn't.
