When it comes to Bhutanese food, ezay, which is any kind of Bhutanese chili sauce, is something I learned to love from my first day in Bhutan. Every Bhutanese makes their own version of ezay, using a selection of different ingredients. Not two ezays are the same. At Aum Leki Wangmo Farmhouse, the mother there made some amazing Bhutanese chili sauce and I had a chance to watch her make it. Dry chilies, oil, sichuan pepper, tree tomato, ginger, salt, and cheese were a few of the main ingredients she added to her recipe.
Kuenphen Restaurant - On the drive from Punakha to Phobjikha Valley, we stopped for lunch along the bumpy and beautiful road. We ordered shakam datshi, sikam datshi and chilly chicken. The food was alright, but not as good at the home cooked Bhutanese food at home stays in Bhutan. Total price - 640 BTN ($9.60)
Phobjikha Valley - Phobjikha Valley is one of the most beautiful places to visit when you travel to Bhutan. It’s a secluded valley, high in the mountains. We checked into Pasang Zangmo Farmstay. The aunty and her family here were awesome, and she’s known for her cooking throughout all of Phobjikha Valley. I loved walking around their house, exploring the area and seeing black necked cranes (which migrate from Tibet). Our Bhutanese food dinner was delicious.

    WoW !
    I have never seen anything like this awesome place and the valley must sure get pretty cold with all the mountains and snow, no wonder it's marshy. The people and their culture are amazing. The meals are so simple yet with a different style of preparation that makes it look 5 star restaurant quality 🤩👌

    Nothing is more beautiful than taking suja near oven in winter in Bhutan

    I love how each vegetable dish is cooked separately, but each one is cooked in oil.
    In Irish traditional food, all the vegetables are boiled in water, and the oils come from the meat, which is usually boiled too, or milk, which is drunk with the meal.
