Savannakhet, Laos, May, 2013
We invite you to have a look at the rich variety of dishes and drinks that this country has to offer. We have made incredible discoveries such as sticky rice and the food night market in Luang Prabang.
Take a look at the pictures and judge for yourself which of all the these delicious dishes you would like to try out in the future. Enjoy!
Lao Style Barbeque in the Night Market of Luang Prabang.
The most disgusting fruit (or vegetable?) that I have ever tried in my life is the green one. It tastes like bitter soap and feels as if you had a hairy cat inside your mouth.
Yam from Laos mixed with Mexican Sauce, chili powder, lime juice and salt. Roberto feels like back home in Mexico
Typical Lao Dinner: Roasted Seaweed with Sesame, a spicy eggplant dish, vegetables and fish in tomato sauce is eaten with sticky rice
Creative noodle soup with plenty of ingredients. We ate it on the way from Luang Prabang to Kasi.
Typical Lao Dinner with steamed rice, spinach-like vegetable with fried pork skin, spicy sauce and sausage. The vegetable’s broth is put on top of the rice or drunk directly. Meng and his family from a village 60 km north of Vientiane invited us to join them for dinner.

Hello Padaek,
thanks for the nice words. We do miss Laos food! I hope I can learn how to do sticky rice and cook it at home too.
All the best wishes from Australia,
