Tibetan Kitchen
Pemba has taken her love of cooking and refined it over the years, with the result that every dish is her own original recipe. Even as a child in Kalimpong, a small village in the Himalayas, Pemba was drawn to the art of cooking. That love stemmed from her mother’s culinary lessons at home, which taught her how to blend spices and create curries from scratch. Now, decades later, Pemba channels her ever-growing passion for cooking into each dish she handcrafts at her eatery, Tibetan Kitchen.
“[It is] very important to eat with your eyes first,” Pemba told CTV’s mmMonday restaurant news segment, which is why she artfully plates each hefty portion on the menu. As diners sit amid ruby-red walls and Buddhist-inspired décor, their plates arrive full of locally sourced ingredients, with not a trace of MSG anywhere. Pemba’s dishes use ingredients from nearby Metchosin, with free-range chicken and berkshire pork ethically raised at Stillmeadow Farm, while Perry Bay Sheep Farm, contributes fresh lamb. She then pairs these local meats, including AAA Alberta beef, with fresh vegetables and mild, house-ground spices, creating flavourful soups, made-from-scratch momos (Tibetan dumplings), and wild sockeye salmon straight from Mother Nature’s personal stash. Pemba also handcrafts mild curries—medium and hot available upon request—using a gluten-free or dairy-free substitute with a creamy cashew sauce base.
