8 months agoDelicious set group lunch at the Folk Heritage Museum Restaurant. A group of 5 of us dined here as part of our package deal trip so we didn't pay for the lunch directly. The dishes were all traditional tasty. The Ema Datshi was probably the best we had in Bhutan. The chili with cheese was amazing. They asked if we wanted pork or chicken. They even cooked me up an omelette as I was eating vegetarian. The buckwheat pancakes were also a treat. We all filled up here before making our way across to the museum after lunch.
