Sydney’s Getting A Festival Dedicated Solely To Delicious Momos
What is a “momo”? I’m glad you asked. If you’ve had a dumpling, you’ve had something similar to a momo. Momos are common in India, Nepal and Tibet. And a MoMo Fest Sydney is coming so we can celebrate and eat them.

The festival has already had three successful years in Melbourne, each year apparently bringing thousands of attendees to feast on delicious momos. With more than 30 varieties of the treat coming to the festival, you can expect momos with fillings such as chicken, lamb, goat, pork or buffalo, cottage cheese, cabbage, beans, potatoes, as well as spices and herbs to bring it all together.
Momos are an under-appreciated part of South Asian cuisine, often overlooked in favour of their flashier cousins from China and Japan. But anyone who’s eaten at popular restaurant Little Momo on King Street in Newtown knows these little parcels are truly worth their calories.
