A unique Tibetan treat is yogurt-topped rice. As the name implies, it features rice smothered in thick yogurt, white sugar and butter. In Xizang, yogurt is enjoyed in many ways. Beyond topping rice, it is also paired with tsampa, roasted barley flour. This dish stems from the farming-pastoral lifestyle and now stands as a signature sweet on Bakuo Street in Xizang.
