A Bite of Nepal: Why Our Chicken Momo Is Loved in Johnstone
In the heart of Johnstone, there’s one dish that captures hearts from the very first bite — our Chicken Momo.
Soft, juicy, and bursting with flavour, momo is more than just a popular dish; it’s a true taste of Nepal. At Dé Buddha Authentic Nepalese Restaurant & Bar, we bring this cherished street food to life with care, tradition, and attention to every detail.
Whether you’re trying momo for the first time or coming back for a familiar favourite, each bite delivers a comforting, authentic, and unforgettable experience.
🥟 What Makes Chicken Momo So Special?
More than just a dumpling, chicken momo is one of the most popular comfort foods in Nepal. Momo carries stories in every fold and can be found in busy markets, family kitchens, and festivities.
We bring the same authenticity to Johnstone at Dé Buddha. Each plate is a reflection of tradition as well as flavour, with basic ingredients turned into something truly memorable.
🍽️ The Journey Behind Every Momo
Great food is all about the love and care that goes into it — and our Chicken Momo is a perfect example of that.
We start by handpicking fresh, high-quality chicken breast, ensuring that we get the best flavour and texture possible. The chicken is finely chopped and then gently grind into a soft, fresh mince.
Next, we mix in a selection of simple, balanced ingredients that stay true to our Nepali roots. A sprinkle of salt brings out the natural flavours, creating a filling that’s both delicate and rich.
Each momo is wrapped in a soft dough circle, then folded and shaped by hand with precision and a touch of love. We make sure every piece is sealed just right to keep all that juicy goodness inside, so every bite is as satisfying as the last.
Once they’re ready, we pop the momo into a steamer for about 10 minutes, letting all those flavours meld together beautifully.
When they come out hot and steamy, we serve them up with our signature chutney — the perfect finishing touch!
