If you have never had LAO FOOD before-- you're missing out real bad!
I guess it's safe for me to say that sometimes this is what a typical plate of a Lao individual looks like: Chicken, steamed rice, and papaya.
KAO PIEK is a rice/tapioca noodle soup. Any meat can be added to it, but traditionally there would be a couple blocks of
blood in there-- Lao ppl know what I'm talking about!
In this picture, there's strips of pork meat as well as ground pork. Finish it off with cilantro and garlic hot sauce. MmmMM!
