Latest audiobook I listed to was called The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu. During my trip to Vientiane, we decided to take a day trip to a small village called Ban Hatkai located right on the outskirts of Phou Khao Khouay National Bio-Diversity Conservation Area in Laos. The main goal of the trip was to visit the village and especially learn about local Lao Lum food ) It was about a 2 hour drive to get there, and we stopped a few minutes outside of Vientiane first to visit a market and buy some ingredients. But the best thing about markets is that theres always also some pre-cooked food available - and for breakfast in Laos, that means sticky rice and grilled meat We got some quail and grilled dried buffalo lungs, both of which were delicious. Ban Hatkhai - Ban Hatkai is a beautiful quiet village, and we arrived to the home, a beautiful wooden Laos traditional home. She immediately got started cooking, chopping all the vegetables and herbs, and steaming the sticky rice. Koi paa - Lao fish mixed dish - For me this was the highlight of our meal. The fish was sliced thin, flash blanched, mixed with all sorts of fresh herbs, and toasted sticky rice powder, and seasoned with fish sauce. Jaew - Any type of Lao dip - She made both an eggplant and a tomato jaew, both of which were delicious to eat with vegetables. The best part of this meal and Lao food experience was all of us sitting down to eat together, sitting around a colorful spread of Lao food. The food was heavy on the vegetables and herbs, nutritious, and delicious

I was wanting to know if mark signs the products he sells. Mark has my 9 year old grandson wanting to travel for food. He watched all his videos. Mark has opened his mind to the world. Just like Andrew Zimmerman did for Mark.

She prepare food tasty but its really dirty spechula putting in the mouth directly, we bhutanese dont do like that, if we taste we will use small spoon and that small spoon we will not put back to pot. It's really dirty

Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the reasons why there is so much depth of flavor in these dishes is because it was cooked with wood. It has a signature that can't be replicated with charcoal fire or gas flame.

Yum yum and more yum. I grow up eating all this and lucky still too. My fav is eggplant dip, best with sticky rice and heaps of chillies. Great vid and I love how you travel with your family, beautiful laos.

Mark, I had never seen an actual village before. I have worked in the Laotian community in Philadelphia; they have told me about the mountains and villages, until now I could only imagine. Thank You
