Lao Street Food Tour in Vientiane, Laos - Laos is an amazing country for food lovers, and there’s no better way to start sampling street food than to visit a local market in Vientiane.
Khua Din Market - This is one of the most bustling morning markets in Vientiane. You’ll discover an ocean of fresh ingredients available in the parking lot before 8 am. But for cooked food, I found some of the best stalls in the tented section at the back of the market - there you’ll find a few stalls serving all things Lao food - a place to have a Lao sticky rice feast.
Sausage - 5,000 LAK ($0.60) - First at the market we stopped for a quick Luang Prabang sausage, known as sai oua. They are so good, the beef in my opinion was tastier than the beef.
For our sticky rice Lao feast throwdown, we ordered a bunch of different dishes and all ate them together. We had some stews, some jaew, sticky rice, a few grilled items, and the highlight for me was a stuffed fish. Total price - 117,000 LAK ($14.00)
Sandwich - 5,000 LAK ($0.60) - On the outside of Khua Din Market in Vientiane you’ll find a few stalls selling khao gee pate, the Laos version of French baguette sandwiches with pate and toppings. They are not the best quality, but for 5,000 kip, they are a bargain and really do taste pretty good.
Evening Cooked Food Market - For this Vientiane street food tour, in the evening we headed to Ban Anou Night Market, a peaceful evening market where you’ll find a good selection of Lao food.
Khao Piak Sen - First we had a bowl of khao piak sen. Total price - 15,000 LAK ($1.80)
Next we had some stew dishes, and an order of green papaya salad, all of which were delicious. Total price - 65,000 LAK ($7.78)
Finally to end this Lao street food tour of Vientiane, Joel and I enjoyed some wonderful dried beef. Price - 10,000 LAK ($1.20)
Thank you for watching this Lao street food tour!

Your travels for food in Asia, inspired me. I have lived for 58 years in Holland and I'm 65 now. Recently i discovered a new gift for writing stories and planning, if faith let me, in the coming years to go in one place in Indonesia and write stories about it, and also make drawings about Indonesia. Thanks, for keeping me inspired not to forget my birthplace.

I felt good that you like 🇱🇦 food! Because I am the Lao people! ຂອບໃຈ! / Thank you!

[@theelife.]

I am Laotian 🇱🇦 living in the USA 🇺🇸 America over 40 years. I love ❤️ lao 🇱🇦 foods and proud 👏 of Lao foods and much more !ฉันเป็นคนลาว 🇱🇦 อาศัยอยู่ในสหรัฐอเมริกา 🇺🇸 อเมริกากว่า 40 ปี ฉันรัก ❤️ อาหารลาว 🇱🇦 และความภาคภูมิใจ 👏 ของอาหารลาวและอีกมากมาย !

[@Dudustickz]

You need to go to laos 🇱🇦 more. I never realized how much different Laotian and Thai food were because I’m Laotian and I’m 20 years old born in America. I grew up eating all these types of food and I absolutely love it all so much. I’ve been watching you forever and I’ve always seen you eat at Thailand probably because you live in Thailand but it’s nice seeing you go to the place where my parents originated from. It’s nice to understand the language a lot better in Laos for me too instead of Thailand. But I will always be in love with Laotian food and I just had a baby and I want her to grow up eating Laotian food just as I did in America but it’s going to be a lot harder because my girlfriend is American(white) and she only likes certain dishes that I make her but I really enjoyed these episodes of laos I really appreciate it mark!!

[@TB-jk7hq]

Yes definitely different but they have their similarities, my mom is Lao and Thai but from the Northeast region of Thailand (Isaan). I was able to see the difference growing up and Lao food is more on the spicy and flavorful side.

[@Ned88Man]

Laos is awesome, I live in Thailand (isan) but I prefer almost everything about Lao over Thailand...at least in Isan you can get Lao food, but what I miss most about being in Lao is the people...

[@TB-jk7hq]

@@Ned88Man yeah that's the Closest you'll get to Lao food is in the Isan region, some cities there use Lao as the main language too instead of Thai. My mom is Isan and she does everything Lao style in her cooking

[@EmoPrincessStar]

Finally in Laos!! I’m making some spicy green papaya salad with sticky rice & Lao style wings this week! 🇱🇦 my uncle is gonna teach me how to make the sausage. I love it so much. He needs to try the pickled pork too it’s delicious. && desserts! Mango sticky rice is so good.

My girlfriend is from Laos although we met in thailand. Went to Laos for the second time this year. I was in a coffee plantation near the Thai Laos border. Had a amazing time with her family and friends. The markets are amazing for fresh food. I travel though Asia each year during the winter months in the UK 🇬🇧 can’t wait to get back. I think Laos as so much potential 🙏🙏

[@andyptv1996]

Travel for real dude! I don't know your situation in terms of finance and ability to travel (or maybe you're too young yet) but you must do what you can even if its just cheap bus travel in your home country for now. If you want to do it, you must. Travelling is great and watching Mark sure helps scratch the itch during corona virus restrictions on travel but there's nothing like the real thing.

[@jenniferbator909]

Laos is my favorite street food destination. I hope I can come there soon to enjoy the food. Thanks Mark 😘😘😘

When Micah is old enough/ready you should definitely do a eating with Micah series His reactions are so cute haha.

[@smlbcity23]

Lao style food has more flavor than any other food. Spicy,sweet,sour,bitter packed with fresh herbs. Drooling.

[@ikkue]

Well you can say that for Northeastern Thai food too, because they are basically the same things

[@onesaitama5156]

@@ikkue Northeastern Thai are Lao people originally, part of the North of Thai used to be Laos, but it was over taken by Thailand during war time in the past. The Thai king in the past decided Thailand need to be bigger so he invaded Laos and takes over part Laos and call it Thailand today. The people in the north east also speaks Lao, they don't speak Thai.

[@ikkue]

@Tho Athome You're saying this to me as if I'm not Thai

[@onesaitama5156]

ikkue Just to let you know that those north eastern foods in Thailand are also Laos foods. Thai people mostly make their foods sweet and hardly spicy like Lao people, even their papaya salad is sweet.

[@ikkue]

@Tho Athome We know that. We all do. But Thais make food to fit the Thai palette which is very extreme in every single flavor. So when you say that the papaya salad is sweet is because we're used to it that way, and I would argue that Lao people don't put enough sweetness in their food.

[@krishliberato5583]

Thank you so much for everything you do and the countless hours of joy and enrichment you bring not only to me but the wider world too. I have learned so many new things about the world, people, and cuisine than I ever would have expected from watching your videos. I hope I can continue viewing your videos because I am certain there are many more places still left to see and new cuisines sprouting up throughout the world. Your videos lift my spirit and continue to be a conversation starter for me with my family and new people I come in contact with.

[@christinachanthamontry2732]

Hi Mark! I really enjoy your videos and as a Laotian American, I was excited to see that you are in Laos! That "custard" lettuce wrap that you were eating is not usually pre-assembled like that. It is usually organized as a platter with the respective ingredients (lemongrass, dried pepper, peanuts, pork grinds) and you assemble it yourself. The "custard" is made out of ground rice and pork. It's a wonderful medley of soft and crunchy textures as well as herb-y flavor :) I didn't notice any peanuts or pork grinds with your wraps so I'm sad you didn't get the full experience for that dish. But I'm glad you enjoyed everything else!

[@radprasongthomas1632]

I usually eat it with the paste, fried porc skin and tomatoes.
