In Shangralila, which is famous for its old town and Tibetan monastery, we had traditional Tibetan food. We did try Yak Butter tea but we were smart enough to only order one glass and not a whole pot. It tasted like warm, salty butter - almost like it should be poured on popcorn.
We also ordered yak meat, which was very tough but tasty and a curry type dish. I saw the owners eating it so I thought we should order it.
Also, we had yak cheese balls….. they tasted like fresh cheese or fresh quark fried a bit.
This restaurant was typical in the old town. It is a wooden building with the store or restaurant below and the family lives on the second floor in a big room overlooking the street. It was a very beautiful and cozy place for being in the mountains. Notice the wood stove in the middle of the room that was being used in June.
