Underwhelming Thukpa — expected more

I was looking forward to Thukpa here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing. The simply seasoned and clean character that makes this dish special was muted — either from shortcuts with dried yak cheese or from scaling up production at the expense of quality.

dal bhat power for 24 hours is a trekking mantra reflecting how central the dish is to Nepali daily life. The a trekking lodge dal bhat setting I was hoping for wasn't quite there either. butter tea was available but not suggested appropriately. I've had much better versions elsewhere. Two stars because the dish concept is sound; the execution let it down.
