@judyjoochef Instagram profile imageNepali butter tea!  Opening day at Citi Field and nothing beats breakfast in Queens at one of the super legit Nepalese venues here.  I’m at the Nepali Bhanchha Ghar restaurant — enjoying a cup of butter tea!  So crazy.  I love it when I find things I have never had before. And at $1 a cup it’s a steal! Has anyone else tried Butter Tea!?
