MALAYA TIBETAN RESTAURANT

I had lunch in Kangding at noon. This restaurant seems to be a time-honored one. You can feel the strong Tibetan style as soon as you enter the door. It was only 11:30 when we were seated. We were the first table. Most of the diners who came later were locals. I felt that I came to the right place. Butter tea is a must. It tastes good when hot and can relieve plateau symptoms. It is not recommended to drink it when it is cold. Don't ask me why. The beef blanket is the onion, potato and beef jerky pot covered with cakes. The potatoes are really delicious, glutinous and floury, a plateau specialty. Needless to say, the quality of the beef is absolutely qualified! I was afraid that the mutton would smell bad, so I ordered a hand-grabbed beef. It was all hard stuff and I couldn't move it. The Tibetan mashed potatoes and buns ordered by the next table, I was very greedy, but my stomach couldn't hold it. It's a Tibetan restaurant worth trying, recommended to everyone.

A very unique local restaurant. Their decoration is really tasteful, with an antique Tibetan flavor. The dishes are also battlefield-style. It's really relaxing to eat and chat. It's very comfortable to dine here. I like it very much. It's worth a try.

This restaurant seems to be quite popular, so I came in to eat. I suggest that the store add attractive group purchase packages on mobile phones, so that people like us who come from other places will be attracted immediately.

The taste is good, ordered butter tea, yogurt bakko, beef quilt, taste good, the service staff has a good attitude, satisfied!
