Wow after such long time ate this Taipo today. How yummy does it look?
So today after a long time I had Taipo which is steamed Tibetan dish with chicken and half cut boiled egg in it. Taipo is almost staple dish in my hometown Siliguri and the hill stations of Northern part of West Bengal in India as Siliguri and Darjeeling has many Tibetan refugees and good Tibetan community. So I remember eating Taipo in 2022 in the hill station Mirik not too far from Siliguri and then in Jan 2024 in my hometown Siliguri itself so yeah it's been over 2.5 years ago almost 3 years ago. Today even though I ate it in a Darjeeling style restaurant in our city Bangalore in India, for a moment it felt as if I was teleported to Siliguri and the North Bengal(Darjeeling) region for real. Yeah the last time I went to Siliguri was Sept 2024. We haven't been there as my uncle is renovating and building another floor in the house where my grandparents lived but are both dead now. So yeah due to delays in construction, we haven't been there in 2 years. Today for real even though I was physically in Bangalore, the restaurant felt like home for real. My taste bud and belly felt so blessed eating that Taipo after a long time. Here's the Taipo I ate today
