$150 Absurd 22-Course Fine Dining in Nepal (4 Hours of Eating)🇳🇵

🇳🇵Service at Dwarika's was amazing. Big thanks to all the nice ladies who helped serve me during my 4 hours at Dwarika's (Yes, that's how long it took).
The food was not too bad, not amazing, but an interesting experience. The momos were definitely the best part.
Definitely skip this 22 Course and only do a few dishes or a small course if you end up going.

2:20 "Krishna always liked something with milk" won my heart with that Chris😇

[@LuciferBeelzebubSatan]

The service there is super Professional and extremely great! Like she's definitely the type-ah Waitress that genuinely MAKES the overall experience 10× better! She's got some AMAZING manners, patience && just overall is just a phenomenally-great server! I'd L-oOoOoOoOoO-VE to have her as my server / waitress! She treated mans like *✨Royalty✨*

[@tseringdhondup6338]

Not sure if the chef thought this menu through. Portions need to be reduced to bite sizes to get through a 22 course menu. Not a very pleasant experience when you’re full just half way through. Fine dining is about quality, not quantity. That said, all the courses looked delicious! :)

[@azpam16]

I agree!

[@DLC-sy7pp]

I think they were trying too hard to impress, knowing Chris is a vlogger.

[@arjunkc3227]

There is 14 course available too and it is assumed to be for couple not single person

[@pratikpandit]

4 people eat it together

[@notice_nepal]

its not for 1 person.. its like group package thing.

[@manjitrupbikram]

A 22 course meal! Wow! To have all that in one meal is definitely something! To be able serve that so elegantly is also something. The Newars are the business people and artisans of Nepal.🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@kryptania]

They have to serve elegantly because food has nothing in it. Elegance is what money is for. If you really want food you go to tapri.

[@ToxicHAL]

@@kryptaniabro I thought I was the only one thinking that. It’s literally carbs, veggies and cottage cheese with different spices and cooked in different styles. WHAT A RIP OFF.

[@kryptania]

@@ToxicHAL foriegners r expected to pay high price for nothing. Same happens to everyone who visits other countries. The way we humans treat each other like aliens is way beyond my mind.

[@SaimonKarki-zf5ep]

​​@@kryptaniasorry we're not india we don't have tapri here and i think foods like Italian french Japanese which are famous are the real food for you ig and if you expect more in that price with 22 courses you gotta pay more 🙂

[@kryptania]

Today NEPAL created history at the Asian games by making highest t20 score, fastest 100, highest margin of win . Go nepal 🇳🇵. We BHARATIYO will stand by you. 🥰🥰

[@nurethappa2727]

It’s all about the whole cultural experience, the preparation of the food, the exquisite presentation, and the whole ambiance in a heritage hotel that preserves so much history, nostalgia of the past, and wonderful art, artifacts, and cultural relics of Nepal and the Newars which would have been lost if not for the foresight and immense efforts of Dwarika to conserve it all so many decades ago. And let’s not forget the well-spoken, friendly, and lovely hostesses floating around bedecked in exquisite Nepali costumes and jewelry. It’s an experience which should be savored slowly, ideally with close family or good friends or charming guests, taking one’s time to relish the food, basking in the ethereal ambiance and finally enjoying the cultural dance and music show which comes at the tail end of the dining experience, instead of just coming alone, gobbling up the food, and then just rushing away without really doing any justice to it all. Regarding the comments on the cost, one must understand that price is a relative factor: Just a cup of the finest Indonesian coffee, kopi Luwak, can cost upwards of $100, the Fleurburger hamburger in Las Vegas notoriously costs $5,000, and a Kobe Wagyu beef dinner in some of the finest dining establishments in Japan can cost anywhere between $5,000 and a truly exorbitant $35,000 PER PERSON. Wealthy Chinese diners at upscale restaurants in Beijing or Shanghai must pay over $220 to enjoy just one bottle of ordinary moutai liquor, even though it smells and tastes like turpentine to the uninitiated. But that’s nothing when compared to how a bottle of 1935 vintage Moutai recently fetched a staggering US$ 1.55 million at auction in China. But, then, even the very mundane watermelon in Tokyo can cost $250, albeit you pay that sum for a very special SQUARE shaped Densuke watermelon; and to top it al, well-heeled Japanese don’t seem to mind paying over $4,000 a pair for their famed Miyazaki mangoes. So you see, the $150 for a 22 course meal at the fabulous Dwarika Hotel in Kathmandu, Nepal, actually seems quite modest. It all depends on what value you get in return, and whether you can afford it at all in the first place.

[@ToxicHAL]

150$ to eat the same thing carbs and veggies 22 different times. At least in Japan and Vegas you’re not eating food made for rabbits. You’re also comparing the most expensive places to eat. Most REAL fine dining places that have quality meat you’re paying $80 to $120 per plate before alcohol. Stop making excuses for this rabbit food and sad excuse of “Cultural experience”. Great architecture, garbage food.

[@nicolasitey6407]

If you can do basic math 150/22 is less than 7 dollars,for something that look so nice it's just so low my god,its not because the price is expensive that it is for such big quantity

[@ToxicHAL]

@@nicolasitey6407 have you never been to buffet? The food is low quality. It’s not worth the price.

The ladies were so kind and sweet❤️ what a great experience despite being so full!! Lovely

[@sampopple6986]

Wow, that is a unique experience to say the least. As someone who works in a fine dining restaurant I will say that those portions should be reduced by 75% to allow for increased enjoyment, at this size 6-7 courses would have been plenty and sensible given the lack of variety on the menu. How many stuffed vegetables can one really eat?!

[@saikatduttaece50]

True, plus the menu was not in proper sequence too. The experience was certainly brilliant, either it was expected to be a shared meal that in no way was a 1 person meal.

[@ToxicHAL]

I was like how many different ways are they going to cook the same potatoes, cottage cheese and veggies. Completely unnecessary.

[@parishsirius]

​@@saikatduttaece50 it's not.

[@MH-yj4qq]

@@ToxicHALthat’s like saying how many ways are they going to cook and serve beans, meat and tortillas for Mexican food. Each dish still has its own distinct flavor and texture

22,000 rupees is way more than what many Nepalese people earn in a month! This is a very expensive meal by local standards! PPP!

⁠@@mohitkarki9872actually that’s not exactly 22000 rs bro,he is saying 150 dollars for that whole set of items which means close to 20,000 nrs,still i agree that a average nepali guy would barely make that much of a money

[@mannyblackstar]

It would be cheaper in other restaurants like easily like ,20-30$ maximum. This was an expensive restaurant

If possible kindly make more videos on 5 star hotels,fine dine restaurants like this and different resorts and all sorts of hospitality services related facilities

[@thapavlogs9395]

i mean, the whole purpose of having 22 course fine dining is bringing small portion of food with varieties. $150 and you cant even reach the 10th course with the absurd amout of food they present. Also its just the same ingredient over and over again. Bell paper, potato, cottage cheese. Im no food expert but if i had to pay 150 for a fine dining experience and they gave me a plate of pakoda as one course, im crying that evening for wasting my money! I hope you had a good experience though, just presenting my honest opinion.

[@thapavlogs9395]

if the portion size is that huge i dont think this fining dining experience is for one person!

[@chrismixxlewis]
