That's one benefit about Lao food, we eat so much and never gain weight. We also look ageless too compare to westerners. :)

America has way too many fast food restaurants around the homes, that it is almost impossible to avoid. You can be in National Park here or even in the Jungle in Laos and you'll be able to see that giant-yellowish letter "M' calling out to you. That's why Americans are overweight in every way or form.

I love cooking as well. I tried to master our traditional cooking so far so good. The only dish I still have issue with is "Au Laum". I can never perfect it. I put all the identical ingredients my mom showed me, still does not taste like hers. I'll figure it out in due time. :) The Sai Ooah or Sai Gok (Lao sausage). I think have perfected it, I tried the ones in Laos and here in the states, it just does not compare. I think mine is supreme.

The wonderful thing about our tradition/culture is we cook every single day and night and the outcome is so amazing. In Thailand their som tom for example contains palm sugar, fish sauce, shrimp, shrimp paste and chilli peppers not particular my favorite. I think it's too basic. Our tom mok huon (papaya salad) on the other hand is still the best. We can add so many things to it and the flavor remains intact and unique. I mean adding shrimp paste is good too, but it doesn't compare to crab paste or nam ba dak. :)

'Pun Ga Bune' is my favorite (I think that is how you say it in pha sa Lao). Anyone have pictures? Have not eaten this dish in ages.

Larb is REAL Lao food.

Not just 'larb dip'. Any form of larb will do!
