This Tibetan food in West Sichuan was THE BEST food I've had in China. Super heavy and extremely flavourful. I was super lucky to be able to eat at this family's home.

I felt lucky and grateful to visit this Tibetan home in West Sichuan, near the Siguniang mountain range. The Tibetan food was all delicious, and to experience the Tibetan culture was really an amazing experience!
I came to try the food and hike the mountains, and was staying at a guesthouse that was recommended by a friend in Chengdu (A Lee Ben Guesthouse). It was really slow and only had around 5 guests because it's not a very famous winter destination for Chinese people, which made the whole experience much better!
Every evening, instead of eating in the guesthouse, I was invited to eat with the family, which made various fresh Tibetan food that was a treat to experience and to taste!
He mentioned that there is lots of delicious food in the area (Yak Meat, Tibetan Butter Tea, Blood Sausage, Cured Pork, and Wild Mushrooms), but that I didn't need to go hunt around, and invited me to eat AND film at his home with his family for some local food!
Eating the yak meat was also a really amazing experience. It was really chewy and had a smoky flavour to it but also tasted really earthy. It was covered in spice and Sichuan peppercorn which added a really nice touch to the flavour.
The most unique thing that I ate there was the Zanba, which was made by hand by the grandfather in the Tibetan family. A wild highland barley flour mixed with ghee was added to a nearly empty cup of Tibetan butter tea and mixed thoroughly with his middle finger. The tea mixed in with the butter and Zanba flour was squeezed into a finger sized nugget. These were super sour, salty, pasty, and dry, and were super high in calories from all the Tibetan yak butter.
After the meal I was full and really thankful to have such a wonderful experience. I gave a huge thank you to the grandfather as well as the son who arranged the whole meal for me.
So you're ever in Sichuan province and you want to see some mountains and experience some local Tibetan culture, make sure to come to the Siguniangshan mountain range, just a 7 hour drive west of Chengdu. Amazing mountains, beautiful landscapes, and an authentic place to experience Tibetan culture. Getting there is easy, just take 06:30 am bus from Chengdu Chadianzi bus terminal and get of at the Changping bridge (about 6 hours into the trip.) There are plenty of guesthouses in the area and any will likely be sufficient, but I really enjoyed where I stayed.

HUGE THANKS to ExpressVPN for offering all Food Ranger viewers 3 months free and 49% off their yearly package using this link: ExpressVPN.com/Thefoodranger . Travelers need ExpressVPN to stay safe online and to unblock any site. I personally use it for Netflix, even while at home in Canada, but also while traveling to unblock content and episodes that are geoblocked, and I also use it for security, because airport wifi and hotel wifi is often very insecure, leaving my data vulnerable. By connecting to one of their servers around the world, it’s just like my computer or phone is in that location, and all data sent while connected to their VPN is secure, safe, and private from others to see, so I know that my data won’t be hacked or looked at by others. Thanks so much for watching, and we have tons more videos coming up for you! Please leave me a comment below letting me know what you thought about this episode, thanks so much!!!
very nice people, surviving in harsh extreme cold weather. but they have the warmest hearts
+Min Tha Very very warm people. Thanks for commenting!
Tibetans are a great people. It's gonna be hard to find people this calm and warm in any culture. You can just tell from watching the video
Yes, that family was really awesome. And you could tell very sincere with their wish for you to come back. If it were me, I'd hate to go.
He paid for the meal. Many Tibetan families are in hosting business.
Vermillion 303 no, if he paid ,the family would not eat with him.
They definitely eat with customers. That's part of the experience.
WTH? I'd call them the next day !
That family was so nice.
+Rafael Muniz Yeah, so friendly! wow! A real experience!
The Food Ranger. Am from Tamil Nadu, Trichy district. I love Tibetans. Very kind people. When i see your video, the salt butter tea (like a yummy soup), devil momos; Aloo Momos that i tasted in Kollegal Tibetan settlement & in Bylekuppe, Karnataka. Those people & families running in my mind. Thanks a tonne. More than food, it was made out of love. Hugs for you bro.👦
you are quite blessed to be able to travel they way you are, and it is a pleasure to see how respectful and courteous you are to the shopkeepers and the individuals who host you. Thank you for taking us along with you!
You are so lucky to have chance like this the family is so lovely and the food looks Delicious. Thanks for the video and,

Dude, this might be your best video yet *****. Awesome upclose look at some delicious looking Tibetan food
Kevin Cook Thanks so much Kevin. Yeah this vid was a lot of fun to make and I was just so happy to be able to spend time with that super friendly and warm hearted family!
+The Food Ranger | Trevor James Great ! Where is the next episode ? Hmm? :D
Wow! You can tell that the family was genuine, kind and so very hospitable. That would have been an awesome experience for you. The food looked amazing! The Tibetan people are such hard workers. It really is a privilege to be able to eat with them. How cool!
Warm and hospitable...tibetan people.
When will you go back and visit them again? Given how friendly they were, and how they invited you back, I'd kind of like to see a video of you returning to their home. Maybe bring them some gifts from Chengdu while you're at it?
For me this video outstands all the other FoodRanger videos I've seen so far. The hospitality and intimate atmosphere is so rare and nice to see.
I've been watching Food Ranger videos all night, even some I've seen before and it's been great. I often do this! I didn't expect to see a Tibet video! A rare treat for us viewers, thanks Trevor!
I enjoyed it very much especially the fact that there's no plates!! beautifull essence of a family meal
... warm... comforting someway!
+#305Ramonica Indeed! Thanks Ramonica!!!
Tibetans dont like eat vegetable because the whether is cold ,iam from sichuan we need more spicy, thank you 😉
+z san all we eat is meat because it keeps us warm and yes I'm tibetian
Trevor I think you had the experience of a life time. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to see that level of kindness. Keep up the vids.
The baby is soooo adorable his cheeks are so soft.Trevor, you sure are one lucky guy to spend time with these amazing people
Your host Trevor, is such a gentleman, so well spoken and well mannered. There is so much love an regard in that food. I have seen all your videos, but this video was very heart warming. :). God Bless the family. Thank you for sharing this video.
when I say host, I mean the Tibetan gentleman who is hosting you in his home in this video.
what wonderful gentle people.
What a beautiful family. They are so kind and generous to let you and us (through the camera) come for a special meal.
wow!! love their hospitality. they're the perfect hosts. the way they spoke was filled with kindness.
Amazing video! Can't believe that I've only just discovered your channel.I love how you're so open minded in your videos, always wanting to try and go for the local versions instead of the dishes better suited for foreigners.
Really great experience Ranger keep up the great vids.
Thanks a lot Tara!
please Come to Serbia!
your videos are excellent...
What a beautiful family, Trevor. Your host seems to be a grand fellow. One of my favorite videos of yours.
I absolutely loved this video. Tibetan culture is fascinating to me. And Tibetan tea is something I love, although of course yak butter is not something you'll find in stores here in Europe, but hey.. one does what one can 😄 Thanks for creating this!
This is one of your beautiful vids... Love the Tibetan people :)
I would be so humbled by the host's graciousness. What a kindness extended to others. My favorite was the baby held by Grandmother, who really liked the food too!
What a lovely nice family. Even they don't have much but they share. God, good people there
im teared up. such beautiful people. tell them i said hi from Texas. tell them i send them love and blessings.
💙💙💙
from Dallas here too,
you're watching too😃
Omg I loved this. What lovely, amazing people, and how truly blessed you are to have been invited.
ive seen every episode and this one is by my favorite episode that is awsome and very unique the way they have to eat certain foods and that potatoes are rare that time of season. thanks for the great videos cant wait to see more!
I love this episode. Those people are lovely!
One of my favorites by The Food Ranger. Great hospitality as well by those nice people.
This was a very special treat for all of us. That is a wonderful family!! And beautiful country!!!
Thank you for sharing Tibetan family and food. Feels so touch and emotional. How kind this family is.
Food Ranger. Your videos are AWESOME. Thanks for every single one of them. KEEP IT UP..
Excellent as always. Your China food videos are the best out there.
Andrew Brazzale Huge thanks!
What a beautiful family, and the joy they had to share a meal w/ a guest...a truly heart warming site to see
Loved watching how he gracefully introduced every ingredient.
I love that guy! he did great introducing the food! he must loves food aswell!
wow. what a special experience. amazing that they welcomed u like that. so magical
That Zambai is also popular food in my country. Zambai is not chinese name. But Tibetan word. Every mongol children grew up eating that one though this newer generation nowadays tend to like western foods a lot. Tibetans add Zamba to that Yak butter tea. But we Mongols add it to our Milk tea and eat it. In fact I ate it this yesterday.
Can't say where it first originated from. I would say it is tibetan dish originally though since ancient times in western Mongolia, nomads been growing barley and made Zambai.
+Nomado Wow, that's really great information! Thank you for the detailed comment!
Actually the proper Tibetan pronunciation is "Tsampa" not "Zanba!" Zanba sounds like Chinese. My late grand mother used to feed us "Tsampa dough" made just the way that pala (father) did in the video and she always told me n my siblings stories about her life in Tibet n how happy they were with yaks, horses and sheeps but with little or no money. I wish I can go back to Tibet some day.
Thanks Trevor, your vids are Tia Ho La, Its great being able to see all these differant foods you try and giving us your feedback. looking forward to the next vid.
*Trevor you've brought me to places and seen local dishes that I would have never seen or tried in my life time, thank you brother and a real big THUMBS UP!*
+Ralphie_Boy Hey Ralphie! Thank you!! I'm so glad to receiver your comments! Thank you!
This has been my favorite video so far.
I'm thrilled with how much it means to me when providing your views with excellent and quality viewing...this example is no exception.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful meal. What a joy to see the world with good food.
amazing, the food looks so authentic.
I am impressed with your willingness to set aside familiarity of taste and conventional hygiene practices to try out and experience all these things. Never seen a Tibetan home in a video. Thanks.
that was great really, and those people looks too generous and kind,so thank you so much for bringing this to us.
I think this is my favourite video of yours. The family are so kind - everything looked really tasty. What an amazing experience this must have been. Keep up the great work!
FEE SEE Thanks a lot! Yeah this video is also my personal favourite, because eating with them was just such an honour, but also because it is quite unique and the food was epic too! Cheers!

+barbj672000 Thank you!! Yeah, it was amazing!!
This is the first video about foreigner and Tibetan food I've ever watched.
Very good video quality and content.
I've never had a chance to have some Tibetan food. They are just something you cannot have when you are not there, no matter how much you pay.
eric lee Thanks eric! Yeah the food really was out of the world!
Amazing people. Really really impressed with your skills Trevor, not many Western men are able to go where u go. Ur language skills are fantastic, and ur a humble person as well, that's why they like u
Absolutely love Tibetan people. They are the best.
What a beautiful video and I love how you explain what you're eating and what it tastes like. You are a gracious guest and because you speak the language it endears you to your hosts and makes for a more intimate and informative meal. Great job!

I would really enjoy seeing you go out in the country side showing us the wild plants he spoke of.
The locals are so nice and friendly and the food looks tasty
Tibetan food is amazing. One of my fav food. Fascinating culture also! Are you planning to visit Nepal? You'll be surprised the hidden and unique gems. Nepali food is so generous and unbelievably tasty, and maybe because its blend of so many cultures. Thank you for the video(s)!
Wow! Beautiful video. So colorful, the clothes, the people, the food, the culture. This is so much better than any restaurant. Wish I was there and experience it. Also excellent editing. It could be one of the National Geographic or other documentary show. Keep up the good quality work, Trevor. Thanks for upload often too.
Kay V Wow thanks so much Kay! Thats great to hear!
the tibetian dude is like a natural talent in the front of the camera
I love that you have experienced this and got to share with us. so awesome ♡

they speak so slowly that it calms me down :) I love it~

I was born in Sichuan and Four sister mountain was one of my favorite vacation destination!
Hello @food ranger ,
I have been watching your show for long time and I think this episode was the best one . Being Tibetan n watching Tibetans in Tibet n their day to day life is really a fest to the eyes. I hope one day I can go to Tibet and experience this adventure. Keep up the good work . Cheers from Canada Montreal :-) ps it’s freezing cold here ;-)
been watching all of your videos for the last 2 days, and I gotta say they are insanely addictive. perhaps your personnality plays a lot too. really hope you get all the sponsors you need to pursue all of that. also I m just laughing so hard whenever in China people take photos with you and you stuck with a fake smile and end up saying: this happens all the time! Waving from Paris! good luck The Food Ranger!
+TheSkyflows23 Thanks so much!! I'm glad you've found my videos enjoyable and have been watching so many of them, thank you!!
Thanks so much for this video. I'm planning a trip to Tibet soon and this just makes me want visit even more. Really nice how you showed the preparation of some of the Tibetan dishes and yak butter tea.
+ranradd Hi Ranradd! Thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow! Super awesome video. It's so beautiful there and the food looks great. The family is so nice, you are a lucky guy. I hope you get one of those awesome hat the men are wearing:)
Alice Pham Thanks a lot Alice, yeah it really was an amazing experience! Yea I should get a hat haha!
This was a great video. I had no idea what kind of foods that they would eat.
