Hidden Gem in Hobart: The Chowk Nepalese Pub

We accidentally discovered the Chowk while returning from one of our day trips — it was just around the corner from our hotel, so we decided to check it out for dinner. The place was surprisingly big, warm, and welcoming, filled with beautiful Nepalese décor that instantly made us feel at home.

We started with the Paau cocktail, which truly reminded us of flavours from Nepal. It was a perfect blend of tangy, fruity, and spicy — refreshing and so nostalgic!

Then came the food. We ordered the meat platter that featured two pieces of sausages, along with half portions of regular-sized meats such as taas, choila, and chicken wings.

But the highlight for us was definitely the momo platter – juicy, perfectly spiced dumplings served four ways: steamed, fried, chilli, and sandheko. Each bite was absolutely delicious. Even the kids couldn’t get enough!

We’re so glad we found this place — such a lovely dining experience. If you’re in Hobart and craving authentic Nepali food, highly recommend it!

Pau Lovers, This One’s For You!

Okay fellow Pau (titaura) fans – I have to share this! Just got my hands on some seriously addictive Pau (तितौरा) imported by Swastik Nepal Products, and my tastebuds are doing a happy dance! If you know, you know – and if you don’t, let me introduce you to the OG of Nepali snacks. 😋


🥭 What is Pau / Titaura?

Titaura is a traditional Nepali snack made from seasonal fruits (usually lapsi, aka Nepali hog plum). The fruit is boiled down, mashed, and mixed with a perfect blend of salt, chilli, sugar, lemon, and spices to create these chewy, tangy, spicy little bites of heaven. There are heaps of variations—some are sweet, some are super sour, and some will blow your head off with spice (in the best way, of course 😅).


🔥 Why I’m Obsessed

Growing up, titaura was that go-to snack for road trips, sneaky school breaks, or just chilling with cousins. It’s that nostalgic flavour bomb that reminds you of home. Now living in Australia, I never thought I’d find that same authentic taste again—until this!

Swastik’s Pau is next level. It’s:
✔️ Spicy without being too much
✔️ A bit sour, but not overpowering
✔️ Just sweet enough to balance everything out

Plus, the texture is on point – chewy and sticky in the best way. Trust me, once you open the packet, it’s game over. You will finish it.


If you haven’t tried it yet and you love bold, punchy flavours, give it a go. Perfect with anything or just on its own.

Let’s be real, no matter how far we are from home, there’s something about that mix of chilli and fruit that hits right in the feels.
