Cuisine

One can savor all delicacies in Sikkim-from Tibetan to Chinese and Indian to Japanese. Banana pancakes, chicken-fried rice and momos are hot favorites.

Rice is the staple diet, and legumes are readily available. Gyakho is a traditional soup served on special occasions. Most restaurants serve alcohol.

One can also look out for tomba, a traditional drink consisting largely of fermented millet, with a few grains of rice for flavor, served in a wooden or bamboo mug, and sipped through a bamboo straw.
