Tibetan food is very different from other cuisines, and it includes several special dishes that cannot be missed during Losar, Tibetan New Year. Khapsey, a sweet biscuit made of fried flour, is a traditional snack used to both entertain guests and offer worship in Tibetan families. As the 2015 Tibetan New Year draws near, it is being sold at every street corner.
