Chicken feet is not a common ingredient in soups when dining in a noodle restaurant in Laos, but it definately goes along well with it.

I'm sure it's tasty, but I'll have to pass.  :)

If you have to pass then that means it doesn't look as tasty as you say.

I'll have to pass too. There are too many things going on in that dish, I prefer it simple when having noodles.

OK, I'll admit. That soup is way too sophisticated for me. I'm OK with the blood though.

The brown chunk of blood you are referring to is called a "tofu".

It can be healthy for you, but it's cheaper than meat. That's why in Lao restaurants, the chef tends to add a lot of blood tofu into a soup based dish.

I down with the blood. I stayed in Korea for awhile and they use a lot of it in their cuisine as well.

What the name of this soup?

In Lao language, the noodle is called "mee".

Well I'm coming to Vientaine next month for the holidays. Perhaps you can hook me up with a bowl.  :)

You can hook yourself up with a bowl, there are noodle restaurants left, right and centre, and the food is affordable.

I mean hook me up with a restaurant recommendation.

They're all the same, there's no stand out noodle restaurants, for me anyway.

Third floor of the Morning Market have a variety of foods in the food court. Sometimes I order cooked take away foods but there are tables and chairs to eat in as well.

I'll have to agree with you. I've tried many noodle restaurants during my last trip and they were pretty much all the same. Nothing too special or too awful. The only restaurant that I didn't care for was a North Korean place called Pyongyang.

;D ;D ;D

I swear. It was absolutely awful, plus the waitress kept giving me the evil eye knowing that I was from America. 

Look good, but I'm not a big fan of chicken feet. Maybe grill instead of soups.
:P :)

Maybe it's better to use chicken feet for broth/stock to give flavour to the soup, instead of eating it.

The alcoholics like it grilled with their beer.
