It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and my regular dabba, had not come. I was alone and in a not in a mood to spend, wondering what to eat and drifting through the streets of Koramangla, I came across a small Tibetian restaurant, Momo Hut, it looked like a promising place with the owner hardly speaking any hindi or english.
I went inside and ordered a plate of steamed beef momos. They were hot and succulent, the fillings were adequate the sauce was spicey, just the way it should be. I followed up this order with a plate of Phing with Tingmo, though I had absolutely no idea what it was. When the dish came, I found out that Phing was a soup with lots of vegetables and meat and Tingmo was a Tibetian steamed bread. The Phing was really hot with lots of pepper and garlic and the Tingmo was rubberly but went pretty well with Phing.
This place is really worth visiting just for the steamed momos, if you are not in a mood to experiment. The other dishes like Shaptra, Phing and Thukpa have a distinctly different taste which takes some time to adapt to, but once you start liking it they are addictive.
Momo Hut is a very small place near The Empire in Koramangla, 5th Block. It is pretty clean for such a small and inexpensive place. The best part about this place, apart for the delicious food they serve, is the cost, a meal for two will come out to be just Rs.130-150.
