  • On our first day in Luang Prabang, Laos we set off to see what the city has to offer! We only recently arrived in Laos by one of the most relaxing modes of travel; the slow boat. You know it’s going to be a great day exploring a new country when you stumble across a place that makes a PERFECT Lao coffee. We see some gorgeous sights (in the immense sunny heat) and cool off with delicious local Lao food dishes & local beer - which took us by surprise! We can’t wait to see what else Luang Prabang, and Laos as a whole, have to offer!

    I’m great that you guys like to try Lao food. I’m Lao, who live far away, but always craving for Lao food. My favorite Lao foods are: 1. beef jerky, 2. AwLarm or beef stew that you had it. 3. Larp can be make from beef, fish, or pork. 4. Sy-Oual or Sy-Kar is same as Sausage, but Lao style. 5. Grill chicken.

    Loving the Lao videos!. You'll have to try the noodle soups, Khao Peuk sin and Khao poon (probably can get vegetarian versions too) and with sticky rice eat in dipping sauces called Jeow Mak Len (tomato salsa) or Jeow Het (mushroom dip) also you usually eat Sticky rice with your hands, kinda like dipping Naan bread in butter chicken. Won't say you guys ate it wrong, but normally you'd take a piece of the stick rice, kinda roll it between your thumb and finger and use it to kind of scoop some food and eat it.

      I never tried d sticky rice d way d Thai n Laos people have it, with savoury dishes. I had sticky rice with mango, that's quite lovely. D Malaysian like sticky rice too esp with their desserts. D Malay also like to have sticky rice with savoury dishes, like pulut kuning, a turmeric sticky rice, or ketupat palas, sticky rice in a triangular weaved pocket of palas leaf n cooked with coconut milk, or lemang, sticky rice n coconut milk stuffed in bamboo n cooked over wood fire. We have all that sticky rice with either beef or chicken rendang, curry, peanut sauce n also serunding, spicy meat floss. Well here I go again, rambling with some info that's not related to Laos.

    I heard the city is slow, but it looks veeeerrrrryyy sloooow. The pork stew is called “Or Lam.” And yes, Laotians eat sticky rice with everything. Wash your hands and then grab a bite size. Squeeze it into a ball like you would play dough, then use the ball to pinch it with whatever you’re eating. Treat it like naan or tortilla - meant to eat with your fingers. Awesome video!

Watching your video makes me want to go there again😭 Dylan’s food is called ’Oc larm’ btw that’s a real luang prabang local dish. I recommend to try the rice noodles that’s close to Joma bakery, the shop opens about 5pm and it’s superb for me hehehe basically pork stock and rice noodles with pork!!! And of course papaya salad, sticky rice, the deep fried river weed called ‘kai pan’ and a chili paste with buffalo skin ‘jeow bong’. Hope you enjoy your trip in Laos 💝

      Also don’t forget to go to the morning market tbh 6am is a good time to go, there will be full of shops. And later ride a bicycle in the morning, it’s so chill and nice weather and not busy roads. I recommend a cafe called ‘Saffron’ coffee is good but just tell them less sweet cus sometimes it gets too sweet lol and also best bakery is at ‘Zurich Cafe’.👍🏻👍🏻

    Love your video. We'll be heading to Luang and Vien Laos via Xishuang (China) in the next few weeks. The Patongo is literally a white sugar cake deep fried in oil can be eaten on its own as well as dipping into thick black coffee only (no milk) or with rice porridge. As for the currency notes, sometimes it can be a scam as many foreigners aren't familiar with the money and by the time you finish counting to the last note, the person whom you dealt with could have disappeared. You often end up with less notes or with some other fake notes added to the bundle. Good to carry lots of small notes with you or change big notes with reputable stores. Hope you both had good fun staying in Lao or Laos.

    There are 2 types of shape for the dough. The chinese call the long or short dough 'yau char kway'. The round dough with red beans inside is called 'ham chin peng'. Usually people dip into coffee. In hong kong, people eat with porridge in the morning.

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for this video of home Luang Prabang. I've been waiting in Siem Reap, Cambodia for 2.5 years to return and had a flight scheduled for TOMORROW, but found a fantastic doctor and wish to continue medical care here and will be continuing on to Tbong Khum Province, Cambodia to teach a bit with little kids in a remote village. Looks like I'll be back to visit Luang Prabang in February! I spent most of my time during this video pointing out memories and flavors of home to my friend. Looks like you hit all the right places! Thanks for your enjoyable tour of home Luang Prabang.
    I think you've left by now, but if you're still in LPB, be sure to stop by Big Brother Mouse to give some local students and others the opportunity to practice their English around the corner from Three Nagas Hotel. They're often also atop Phousi Hill for sunset!

    That soup is called Gaeng Dor Mai. It's a very local Laotian dish! Glad you tried it out.
    You have to try Mee-Kha-Tee and Khao-Poon. If you like Khao Soi in Thailand, you would love these two Laotian noodle dishes! Khao Poon is on the spicier side depending on how it's being made since it is red curry based. Mee-Khat-Tee is not spicy as it is more coconut and a little red curry.
    You also need to go to the market and try sai oua. It's Laotian sausage. Also, the sticky rice is meant to eat with your hands. :) HAHA! Y'all so cute! :) You have to use your fingers, dig into the sticky rice, roll it into a small ball like a small snowball, then dip it into the dish that you are eating while grabbing a portion of the dish to eat it all at once -- almost like a very mini taco. Mee-Kha-Tee and Khao-Poon should not be eaten with sticky rice though. :) Unless the soup is THAT good and you wanna get every ounce of it. Then get sticky rice and clean the bowl out! LOL
    Have fun! Can't wait for more videos of you guys in Laos!

      Kia had a great suggestion for Lao food, but the soup is not gaeng nor mai (bamboo soup), it's actually called Au Larm, which is one of the most popular dishes that Luang Pra Bang has to offer. For a vegetarian dish, you can try soup park.

    The mystery dish looks like Awh Lahm. Probably had dill, green onion, Thai eggplant, and something that looks like tree bark in it? It's very local to LPB but eaten all over. My mom used to make it a lot as a kid. Awh means stew but I'm not sure what lahm means.
