Momo Chhe

🇳🇵 Nepal

🌏 Origin: A “momo” is a steamed wheat flour dumpling filled with meat and/or a vegetables. The name originates from “mome (मम)” which in the old Nepal Bhasa langue means cooking by steaming.

😋 Location: @momochheoslo recently opened on Pilestredet as a beer and wine bar that serves simple bar food. As of writing they’ve just soft opened with a limited menu of two types of Himalayan momos, a savory pork dumpling and a vegan dumpling with cabbage, mushrooms and pickled black garlic. Both are served hot in a cold peanut sauce and a spicy chili sauce.

Come January 2024 they plan to expand their menu with ca 5 small dishes, intended as bar food. But once or twice a month they’ll serve a curated tasting menu with a wine or beer tasting pairing. Follow them on Instagram for more info and dates!

We visited on 18th of December 2023.

🍹 Drinks: They have a line soda with salt! One can barely taste the salt, but it seems to bring a freshness to the drink.

💸 Value: 125 kr for 5 dumplings. For a filling meal you’d probably need 2-3 servings. 45 kr for Lime soda.
