What is the food like in Bhutan? What kind of food is available in Bhutan?

Bhutanese people love spicy food so much that chili is in almost all dishes. Chilli for Bhutan people is more like a vegetable rather than a seasoning. Rice is the main staple diet of Bhutan. Meat like pork, chicken, and beef is commonly eaten. Bhutan's traditional dish is chicken, sautéed spinach, and steamed Bhutanese red rice with lemon glazed.

One of the famous National Dish of Bhutan is Ema Datsi, "Ema" means "chili" and "Datshi" means "cheese" in Dzongkha. Ema Datshi is a combination of chili and cheese, it can taste fiery hot to medium-hot depending on the amount and type of chili used. The other popular dish in Bhutan is Momo, steamed dumplings stuffed with either meat or vegetables. Don't forget to try Phaksha Paa (Pork cooked with spicy red chilis), Jasha Maru (Spicy minced chicken with rice), Goep-Tripe (Tripe cooked with chilis), locally brewed wine made from millet and maize, and the very famous butter tea called Suja.

In most cities and towns, you can find restaurants that serve Bhutanese food, Tibetan dishes, Indian cuisine, Chinese food, and continental dishes. However, in remote villages, it is tough to find continental dishes. In homestays, you will be served farm-grown produce. Vegetarian foods are also available all over Bhutan.
