You wouldn't come across many people in Laos who doesn't like to eat Vietnamese rice noodles, or "fur" as we call it in Lao language. Simple noodle restaurants are plentiful throughout the country, and they are often jam packed with locals during lunch time.

Fur is real nice too. One of my favourites as well. But nowhere near as good as larb dip. Na-ahh!

How much for a bowl these days? Aren't there fur stores everywhere in Vientiane? This is way much better than those cheap noodles thhey sell in packets. MA-MA.

Why do all the Lao guys (in Laos) like to eat their fur BURNING hot? They literally had to mop the condensation off their faces. They must really like that sweating tea kettle look. Maybe they enjoy that burning sensation associated with the exit transition. I CERTAINLY don't!

Its nice to have some pho when its cold and snow outside. Lao and Viet pho are very good. A nice bowl of pho with everything on it cost about $7 in the US. I like mine with some pepper but not too hot.

A bowl costs around $1 - $2 US, depending on the restaurant. There's too many of them in Vientiane.

Who makes all the money feeding the hungry public? Lao or Viet?

Don't the Viet's get pissed off if when Lao sell their foods?
It always disturbs me when the Siamese pass off Lao food as their own in their restaurants. Angry

I like the brand in the lower right corner of this picture. They sell them in our local oriental grocery store. Sure they are cheep, but they are tasty, very hot and quick to prepare since we both work most of our waking hours. My wife adds even more chilies. Sweating tea kettle, 55555, very funny. Three alarm fire is more like it. Woo boy! I have found out that, the more hot Lao stuff I eat, the more heat I can tolerate. Never had the "burning sensation associated with the exit transition" you mentioned Dippy Do. Guess that means I am more Lao then you would like to admit.

Grin



Off subject note: Today my wonderful wife made Lap Lao (beef). Wow, it was great! Tomorrow she said she was going to make Lap Ma. I can hardly wait.

Larb Dip, I'm sure the Vietnamese doesn't care because Laotians never claimed "fur" as our national dish. Sometimes we even compliment the Vietnamese that their foods are delicious. Whereas Thais claim Lao food as their national dish, and that's the difference.

William, Did you say your wife will make "Larp Ma" as in "dog meat salad"?

Oh my! I should not post while I am tired. I did not mean Ma (dog) I meant to type Ba (fish).  Lap Ba. This Lao Kindergartner should read his post before he presses the POST button. 55555

I'm sure your wife is a good cook.

The thing about Lao language is that small spelling errors can mean other things. I've had to be corrected on rare occasions too, usually when I'm tired.

I like Lao pho, Lao food better. Laos and Lao Isan food are the same. I don't think Viet can get mad at Lao, they're immigrant in Laos.
Shocked
