"A good spicy challenge strikes a balance between flavour and fear."⁠ -Adam Richman⁠ ⁠ Fascinating as it is polarising, the kingdom's cuisine is a journey awaiting discovery. In the Amankora lodges, the diverse flavours and nuances of Bhutanese and Himalayan cuisine are highlights in themselves. From the first taste of local homestyle cooking in Amankora Thimphu to the 'momo' cooking classes in Punakha and the yak carpaccio in Gangtey, a symphony of flavours awaits. Not far from the lodges in Paro and Bumthang, guests are brought to a local farmhouse for a sumptuous lunch prepared by a former cook to the royal family where the national dish 'ema datsi' (chili and cheese) and a homemade 'ara' rice wine are the main stars.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #AmanFoodie #Amankora #Bhutan #Cuisine⁠
