Wait, there is more. Malavika Mohanan also shared a picture of a table adorned with different dishes from Bhutanese cuisine. “Had never heard much or come across Bhutanese cuisine up until this trip. Didn't expect it to be this fulfilling, interesting (they use yak cheese in almost all their dishes which has a very paneer-like texture) & absolutely yum! Shoutout to Harsh Sanghavi for this delicious spread and personalising the best of everything for us.” Malavika enjoyed this meal at Postcard Dewa in Thimphu, a charming retreat nestled in the heart of the city. With traditional Bhutanese architecture and modern amenities, this place offers a peaceful escape for travellers.
