| - It has been quite a while since I last went to Shangrila Tibetan Cuisine, and something seemed different when I went for dinner a few days ago. The restaurant is bright inside with the many coloured prayer flags hanging from the ceiling, bold-coloured décor, and pictures and mirrors on the walls. There is seating for about two-dozen at tables in the front (possibly this furniture is what was different?), a middle section with floor seating, and a small bar at the back. It was not busy as yet, and the service was very quick and friendly. There is a tv in the middle, but the volume was off as music was playing quietly in the background.
I started with the sweet corn soup with chicken which was steaming hot but very good. I then had the Aloo Phingsha, which had a little of pretty much everything in it: broth with thin beef strips, vermicelli, potatoes, black fungus mushroom, and a bowl of rice on the side. It was all delicious, not overly spicy but there is chili sauce to add if you wish. I finished up with my usual cup of butter tea. Their menu has all the expected Himalayan dishes like gyuma sausage, chili chicken, a variety of momos, and assorted curries, along with thali dishes on the weekends. My total bill was $18 for a very filling meal, so well worth it.
