Do you know what existed before dinosaurs?
Momos. The answer to anything is always momos.
I waited for Sisan dai to make a Momo Vlog since 2016 but here I decided to write a very lazy one right here because Sisan dai didn’t upload it. Anyways read the information and go to Kharlyoon to bless your tastebuds.
So, after long being thought and alot of binge watching Tasty and Buzzfeed Worth it and Bon appetit and a lot of other food channels including M&S Vmag Hunger Hunt we decided that some people might just want honest reviews right? I mean half of the places I go to eat momos is just okay, only okay and with that data, I can’t trust Oshin Sitaula go bezerk and act like she’s having an orgasm over every single thing that she puts in her mouth (youknowwhatImsaying). I think they’re fake.
So today I with my momo fanatic friend and my brother went to a very famous momo joint in the outer periphery of the Ring Road called as Kharlyoon Momos. Okay get that, its not Kharlom or Kharlum, its called Kharlyoom Momos. Funky name.
anyways they’re in Google Maps as ‘Kharlyom Momo’ so hope that helps you with the location. The location can be a little tricky to people who are not accustomed to areas outside the Ring road area.
The place at first impression was cool, having a hand painted board on top of a 30 feet high pillar makes it visible while searching for it. It isn’t that far from the ring road tho. They have ample parking space in their front porch (Lets call it that) and directly you can see SIX steaming pots in the kitchen area aligned near the window. On the left you can see a door which allows you to enter the joint. The owner/cashier was an amiable guy who asked us for the order right after we entered the door. His staff was right beside the door. He was a humble person who joked about having to order at first hand not making it sound any compulsive. We dropped our orders and entered the hut.
The place was quite open with tables and benches arranged in quadrants each having four tables and bench which could easily accommodate 4-6 individuals. One thing I liked best about the place was the fast service. After my plate of momos came as soon as we had made ourselves comfortable created a great impression as why the cashier requested for early orders. The buff momos had arrived and the pork momos joined the party very soon.
They had two pickles, one savory peanut and soybean pickle and another spicy chilly pickle. It gave a very local eatery vibe as we had a buffet of their pickles. The pickles were bottled as each set was stationed at each table. It was a buffet of pickles and we didn’t make any compromises with the generous support.
Talking about their pickle, their major pickle was the peanut and soybean pickle where I’ve had past experiences of peanut pickle where it was totally sweetened and had grits of peanut not well grinded intentionally. The tiny bits of peanuts could make the biting experience better but the watery solvent had bland taste. But in this case, the peanuts were very well and fine grinded with no small bits. It was very homogeneous and thick. The taste was very balanced and a subtle interplay of taste and spices could be noticed.
Momos were comparatively impressive in size, they were big enough and perfect bite size for most. the buff momos had a arch shape which distributed flavors very well and the outer skin wasn’t thin but wasn’t very thick too. It was somewhere in between where I wasn’t impressed but not disappointed as well. The meat has firm, not that tight , was explosive. Very plain and mild buff flavored. The spices were light and not much veggies were present. It had a clean taste which was beautiful.
The pork momos on the other had round shape. The skin were too thin that their bottoms had been torn. They were served in a similar fashion as of buff but many of them were smudged. The outer skin was very thin, especially at the bottom. So thin that the penetration of a form trying to pick it up would result in it being torn apart due to the sharpness of fork ridges. The flavors weren’t so strong but the fat was much satisfying. Another bad thing was their wrap center which had a lot of flour wraps which made an impact on the taste.
The momos are really cheap too Buff 100 Pork 130 with no additional charges. It was quite a good experience.
I’m realy trying to write a momo blog, I give an indepth review if I go to the place again. And also if I find another better momo join. Do let me know
