Jhol Momo in Perth

Jhol momo is the one people fall hardest for. Steamed momo dropped into a warm, nutty sesame-and-tomato soup spiced with timur and chilli, so you drink the jhol between bites and chase every last spoonful. On a cold night it is close to perfect.

The soup is the whole point, and every kitchen guards its own recipe. Some run it thin and fiery, some thick and rich with sesame. Order it, tip the bowl, and you will understand why this is the dish that turns first-timers into regulars.
