  • Today we share our first 24 hours in Vientiane, Laos! We ate some local cuisine, stopped by one of Vientiane's most famous landmarks, and checked out the night markets by the edge of the Mekong. We were surprised by the relaxed, laidback atmosphere - Thanks for stopping by, we can't wait to share more of our Laos adventures with you next time!
    Also, we apologize for the audio in this vlog - We have been using new mics to try to improve our sound quality, but the mic performance has been inconsistent. It's a work in progress, but we hope you still enjoyed the video!

    What you can't see is just how HOT it was - 38°C (100°F) at 9am! 🥵Our equipment kept overheating, but luckily this footage still survived! 👍

    The traditional lao noodles are actually not traditional. It's a noodle version of papaya salad, lao style aka pa dak or fermented fish. Usually, you would have eaten it with meat or add lettuce. Im glad you both tried it.

    Loa people comes out really early for the morning market then they normally go back to the house to hide out from the sun or they go to work. They normally come back out when the sun goes down to socialize. Most Lao traditional dishes used fermented fish sauce so the taste and smell will be too strong for most foreigners. Most Lao people will also call the highest prices because they're expecting their customers to bargain. For example; if they're saying $10, you should be negotiating for $2.50.

    I give you guys a thumbs up for giving those noodles more than one chance. Traditionally Lao people get them spicy or extra spicy to balance out the fishy taste. There is no better way to enjoy fermented fish sauce (padek) without lots of peppers.

  • @channguyen8529
    @channguyen8529 Před 4 měsíci +1

    The balut is nice and young. Usually, when you buy them from the market, you can ask how old the eggs are: how many days. They usually would have a few "age" ranges in different baskets. This is nice because it's younger, the head, body, legs, body, feet are not formed yet. That's perfect. I can't eat the "fully formed" duck egg. But, they didn't bother to tell you to get some salt and pepper and even herbs to diffuse the idea and not get gagged and throw up. One normally eats a boiled egg with salt and pepper, no?

    • @twobetween
      @twobetween  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks for the info! Yeah, I don't think we could handle the older, fully formed egg either. Next time, we'll definitely have to try it with salt and pepper, that sounds even tastier

    I think you just got introduced to something called "pa-daak" which is fermented fish with that noodle dish. It can be over powering and pungent. Don't worry, I'm Lao and I hate it too. 😄

    You need to pronounce it correctly it is ViengChen, but it spell Vientiane so the T in tian should sounds CH

    • @twobetween
      @twobetween  Před 4 měsíci +3

      Although we agree that 'ch' would be more accurate, we researched this for some time prior to arriving and decided to use a pronunciation we felt our global audience would be more familiar with. We also anglicize other city names in our vlog for the same purpose (even in our own countries - i.e. Seoul), but we always appreciate comments like this so others can learn as well 😊 Thank you!
