Laos National Dish LAAP (This one was my favorite) + VIENTIANE Cooked Food Market | LAOS

Day two from Vientiane.
I went on the search for a Khao jee sandwich and ended up at a place that seemed to be serving up more of a Banh mi style baguette sandwich. No matter what, the sandwich was absolutely phenomenal.
Next, I had what was probably one of my favorite meals in all of Laos. A super spicy, bitter, and funky laab pia. This thing rocked my world, in a good way. Perfectly combined with the soup.
Next day I started off with some pounded salads. Of course I had a very spicy and funky tum mak hoong and then since I cannot read the local language. I just closed my eyes and picked another type of pounded salad. The second couldn’t have been more perfect as it was sour and a tad bit sweet.
Then of course I went for some noodles. Long, white, chewy noodles in a flavor packed chicken broth. The broth was by far the winner as it was rich, garlicky, and had an intense chicken flavor.
Lastly, I went to a market! A much more local market than what I thought I was going to! It had a ton of local dishes prepared for take and go. Unfortunately, I had no where to go so I just had a nice little snack to finish the day off!

my wife is Lao, this video reminds us of how wonderful Lao food is and made us a little homesick. Thank you. The sausage is best in Luang Prabang and the papaya salad, tum (pounded) markhung (papaya) is their national dish! Thailand's version is pale in comparison.

[@Macoi24]

That is some high praise, thank you very much Scripner🙏

[@tinateews9494]

That sausage is called sai gaok in Laos. It's Lao food and very delicious with many herbs in it. Just little history here, part of Laos was conquered by Thai King then, therefore you have all these Lao influence foods in Thailand. The Northern Thailand, isaan were once part of Laos, that's why they speak Lao. You can use chicken, duck, pork, or beef to make Laap. The laap, papaya salad and so forth are Lao national foods. If you want the real stuff, go to Laos, the origin of many delicious Lao foods.

[@Macoi24]

thank you so much for the information. I heard that Isaan region and Laos used to always go back and forth until one day government said the river is the divider. I really enjoyed that story.
