At such high altitudes, arable land is scarce, and the difficulty of growing many foods has allowed the Tibetan people to develop a unique local cuisine that revolves around regional staples like flour milled from roasted barley, called tsampa, and meat and dairy from yak, sheep, and goats, which can survive the region\u2019s harsh climate.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, February 3, China Institute\u2019s Gourmet Food Circle will get ready for the launch of the Institute\u2019s upcoming exhibition, Art of the Mountain: Through the Chinese Photographer\u2019s Lens, by exploring Tibetan specialties at Punda Tibetan Restaurant in Sunnyside Queens.<\/p>\n<p>The program will include a multi-course tasting (including the restaurant\u2019s specialty tsampa shake and classic momo dumplings) with an introduction by Punda Tibetan Restaurant owner and head Chef, Tenzing Tsering, as well as a presentation by an expert on Tibetan culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>February 3 @ 6:00 pm &#8211; 8:00 pm Punda Tibetan Restaurant, 3935 47th Avenue, Sunnyside, NY 11104<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-stay-connected-to-the-latest-local-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=72161"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72161\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":72163,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72161\/revisions\/72163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=72161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=72161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.asianinny.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=72161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
