    Lao's papaya salad are very similar to what I've ate in vietnam, but we eat them with white rice. I love Laos food more than Thai, Thai are on the sweet side, Lao's food are more flavorful and spicy.🤤🤤

      Michelle welcome to the world, I guess. There’s tons to explore and don’t be mislead by the generalisation of ‘asian’, ‘middle eastern’ or even a single term that covers an entire country. Many regions have their own unique culture and cuisines

    This vid brings back memories of childhood! My aunt would always make Khao Jee and Nam Khao for the Fourth of July. Family parties aren't complete without Thum Mak Hoong. My grandma makes Gaeng Nor Mai at least once a month, but I don't like bamboo shoots, so I usually don't eat it. I haven't tried Larb Diip, but it sounds interesting. Is Thom Khem similar to Gai Palo? My family is ethnically Chinese, but my parents and grandparents lived in Laos and Thailand before coming to the states, so I get my foods and cultures mixed up sometimes.

      Esan Thai/Lao calls Lao food theirs because Esan is Lao root. Sorry, your Thai government don't want you to know so it isn't written in your history books because Thai government fear of retaliate.

    I've never had or heard of Khao Jee before in the way in your video. To me Khao Jee is Lao for 'bread'

    • @phetindra8216
      @phetindra8216 Před 3 lety +1

      In Laos you can have it everywhere in some street stalls, but only grilled on open fire. Khao Jee has two meanings, Khao - rice / Jee - grill, and "bread". I had never seen fried ones like these. Should be Khao Jeune then...
