FROM OUR KITCHEN

With our new exhibition with Bhutan Textiles, I have become more and more fascinated with Bhutan. Seeing all the wonders the country has to offer in such a small area really taught me there’s so many things I still need to learn about. The breathtaking landscapes, traditional handicrafts, impeccable architecture, and the faces of the smiling townsfolk; Bhutan is like no other place in the world.

We are so grateful to be working with Bhutan Textiles project implemented by ITC (International Trade Centre) with EU and the Royal Government of Bhutan. To have the opportunity to showcase these hand-loomed garments is something that brings me much pride.

On our culinary side, we decided to take on the famous Himalayan dish, momo. I was surprised to learn that matsutake are found throughout Bhutan, so we decided to incorporate it into our dumplings.  Importing specialty ingredients and spices from Bhutan, we kept the flavors authentic.  As the weather has started to chill, I believe our momo will be the perfect cure to keep guests warm.

Through the exhibition, I hope THE GALLERY can mold together the world of art and food, and bring knowledge and more understanding to the country of Bhutan as well!
