Doma Wang is considered Kolkata’s momo evangelist. Now find out why. She is in Chennai’s Hyatt Regency for a five-day food pop up featuring Nepali and Tibetan food.
The pop up is curated by mother-daughter duo Doma Wang and Sachiko Seth, owners of Blue Poppy Thakali, Kolkata, a restaurant that specialises in delectables like phaktu, shaphalay, chilli pork, pork shapta, and Nepali mutton curry.
Expect a recreation of Blue Poppy’s signature dishes, starring — of course — momos in pork, chicken, lamb and vegetarian options. The menu also promises pan-fried momos, thukpa, Tibetan soup, chilli butter wings and shrimp balls, prepared by Doma, Sachiko and their team. Team it all with gobindobhog (a short grain white aromatic rice grown in West Bengal) rice. The pop up will also enable patrons to learn hands-on momo making from Doma at the pop up.
