1.Gundruk Soup is  a popular vegetarian soup made in Sikkimese households but also found in restaurants. It is served during wintery seasons. It’s made with fermented vegetables, tomatoes, onions, garlic ets . I loved it. This cost under $2. I had this at a guesthouse/restaurant a stone’s throw from my hotel.
 2. Sael roti is a deep fried, ring shaped soft pretzel made from fermented rice batter. This crispy crusted donuts are often eaten during festivals and special occasions in Sikkim.
 3. Momos are Tibetan dumplings and they are easily found in restaurants and cafes in Sikkim. They are steamed, boiled and contain anything from vegetables, meat and cheese or paneer. Often the momos come on a plate of eight or nine with a red chilli paste to give a nice taste. My favorite momos are steamed dumplings.

5. Tibetan bread can come in different sizes and styles. The one I tried is a type of skillet flatbread with a hard outer crust and thick soft inside. It’s flavor is basic, with a hint of olive oil.
