I saw another post earlier about laos food. But, now I made a poll so that we can see which ones are totally number one in Laos food. Some of the foods I put in the poll include some famous laos food, and some that people wouldn't think of as their favorite right away. i love all the foods listed in the poll, but my favorit is lab tow. o god, when i was away at college, everytime i came home, i made my mom make that for me! i also like Jaew too. Like jaew ba daek & jaew mak phet. love laos food to the fullest! so many exotic foods ;)

here's a pic of a papaya salad that i made. it's the laotian style with a hint of thai in it since i'm half-thai.



There are peanuts and thai eggplant in it too.

i guess im not into those "hardcore lao food". lols. i don't like eating anything raw, for instance, the duck blood. my larp has to be cooked. i have to go with noungning and say kao piek sen.

papaya salad is good, but i sometimes prefer thum kao poun.

my mom is cambodian, so i've always had a diversity of food. i love chicken curry. also, my mom makes the best soup w/ different types of squashes. stir fry is also a popular dish at my house. but then again, i don't really consider it lao food. it has its lao flavor (sorry, lack of word) but any culture can have stir fry & soup.

ps. my mom makes the best nam kao. i went to a popular thai restaurant (so i was told that) and ordered nam kao, and it wasn't half as good as my mom's. ^_^

looks good! makes my mouth water hehe. ya noungning it's like tum mua like u say with cabbage, pauk bong, long beans, etc...

laos food is good if it's cooked right and has a good taste to it. anything with chicken i love...

i wished i had a recipe. my aunt makes the best and she sells them to the market and makes em for birthdays and stuff. it looks hard to make because you gotta be patient as all the green things drip.
