Every Locality in Shillong has that small Shop that serves <strong>Chinese dumplings (Momo), soups<\/strong> and believe me it\u2019s not only affordable but hygienically clean and so good when it comes to taste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bamboo Hut<\/strong>, <strong>Lamee<\/strong>, <strong>Barbeque<\/strong>, <strong>Kim-Pou<\/strong> Restaurants are best known for their Chinese Cuisine. Soups of different flavours, along with heavy dishes like Chow or Fried Rice, soothe the rainy and cold weather in Shillong.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from Chinese Food, Shillong also has a newly opened Korean Restaurant located Near St. Edmund\u2019s College, Kitchen of Korea. It\u2019s a must visit Restaurant, we don\u2019t get to taste Korean Food every day, do we? Starters like<strong> Kimchi and Kimbap<\/strong> are to die for, along with the whole Korean Palate and Ginseng Tea, in addition, will take you on a Korean journey right here in Shillong.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_667\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-667\" style=\"width: 695px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-667 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nexplore.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/4.jpg\" alt=\"Kitchen Of Korea, Best Chinese restaurant in Shillong\" width=\"695\" height=\"758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nexplore.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/4.jpg 695w, https:\/\/nexplore.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/4-275x300.jpg 275w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-667\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kitchen Of Korea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Jiva Sizzler Restaurant<\/strong><\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_666\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-666\" style=\"width: 721px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-666 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nexplore.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Jiva Sizzler\" width=\"721\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nexplore.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/3.jpg 721w, https:\/\/nexplore.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/3-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 721px) 100vw, 721px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jiva Sizzler having varieties of food on its menu<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This unique joint in Police Bazar, this is one must eat Restaurant in Shillong and let me tell you why?
