The first time I had momos, it was at a restaurant located in Jordan. They were fantastic. Juicy little parcels that were similar to the Chinese xiao long bao but they don't use pork and the skin is a bit thicker with less juice tht comes with a super spicy dipping sauce. A common street food in Nepal, this food basically represents them. But other than that place, I wasn't really able to find any where else that served them. And the restaurant in Jordand was a bit far.That is when I discovered
That is when I discovered a place called Momoz. Located in Tsim Sha Tsui (and apparently Central as well), it was a bit easier to get to. It was also much more modern looking. More fun and colorful. Seating is on benches and there are plenty of them.
The menu is in English only. There is no 10% service charge. You order and pay at the cashier and they'll bring the food to you. Not only do they serve momos but also serve donair rolls. Their items are not the traditional fillings but a bit more different. A bit more fun and modern. As we came during lunch time, they offer a lunch set which included 4 daily momo flavor and a daily donair roll along with a soft drink or mocktail for $78. We decided to order that.
For the drinks we chose a mocktail. Boyfriend had the Sky Lime (on the left) and I had the Orange Blossom (on the right). The Sky Lime basically tasted like Sprite. Orange Blossom tasted like Fanta.
The momo of the day was lamb. It tasted ok and fairly juicy. It came with the super spicy dipping sauce and the mint yoghurt dip. The donair of the day was something called a Nepalese Chicken Chow Mein but when I asked what it was, they said roast chicken. But I know they have something that is similar to the Chinese version of the chow mein. I have no idea why they didn't explain it to me? It's not like I wouldn't choose it? But for whatever reason, they just changed to completely to something else. It became a chicken kebab roll. I guess it was a good thing because I thought the roll was really good. The flatbread was fantastic. Soft and fragrant. The kebab was flavorful. The seasonings and sauces were the right amount. Not too much to drip all over but enough to bring in the flavor. It also wasn't too big as most other places I can never really finish a whole donair. This is actually one of the better donair rolls I've had in Hong Kong.
Boyfriend didn't eat lamb so they were nice enough to change it to salmon. This momos were pretty with two different colors. But they weren't very good at all. The filling was dry which made the skin even more doughy in texture.
Though the momos were pretty and everything was nicely served in bamboo baskets, it definitely not as good as the other Nepalese restaurant in Jordan. Those momos were fantastic. But the rolls were really good though a bit small. I wonder if it's small for it's part of the lunch set or if the a la carte ones are bigger? I'd probably just return for a roll and skip the momos.
