In a sense, Makye Ame, as a famous Tibetan restaurant, has become a symbol of Tibetan food. Its fame can not only be attributed to its tasty food but also the underlying culture.
Makye Ame has used a love song and its relevant moving story to build up its brand:
It was said that one night about hundreds of years ago, a man had food at a Tibetan restaurant at the southeastern corner of Barkor Street.
It so happened that a pure and pretty girl came, too. Her beautiful look and quiet dignity left a deep impression on the man.
From then on, he often came to the restaurant, looking forward to meeting the girl again. It's a pity that the girl never reappeared, so the man wrote a well-mined poem to reminisce about the girl.
