Tourists eat in restaurants, where "larp" is much dearer.

I'm talking about "larp" on the streets and markets, that generally cater locals. If they're too expensive then locals can't afford to buy them.


Okay, I see. So they do know how the world works after all. Grin

How much do they make (profit) a day? How much is cosidered a "killing" over there?

Profit varies from business to business. They're not going to tell you and I, how much they make a day.

Did you ask?

Lao aren't like our western counterparts. If you really want to know then ask. They are usually frank. (This, you can take me at my word for, "nang".) But with Lao-being-Lao, most aren't that courageous.

Even if you ask, they'll tell you that they don't make much. They don't want any competition.

I'm not talking about asking in tandem while making your order. With an issue as sensitive as this, you need to ease your way in. If it is a store that you frequent (especially if you small-talk the owner on a regular basis) then you could probably get at least a answer.
We are talking about our beloved Laos here, are we not? Has it changed so much. so recently, that the "kinship" that we once abided by has been thrown-out in favour of money?

Some days they will make little profit, and other days a lot of profit. It's not like a normal job where you have a fixed salary.

Maybe ask for their monthly profit is the best way to go, but even that will vary because their business may perform better during the dry than wet season.

It is all relative my friend.  With the 'capitalistic' mentality that has just started recently in Laos, costs of everything (products...labour...services)  will go up significantly fast.  Therefore larp dip from the local restaurant will tripple in a couple years and not be $0.40/person.

No, I don't bother cooking in Laos when you can order "larp" for as little as 3000 kip (40 US cents) to feed one person.


What a joke! How does ANYONE in Laos make any profit? You're not going to sit there and tell me it co$t 20c to buy the meat, are you? Charging another measly 20c for labour is pathetic! Now I know why Laos is poor! No self worth!

Did you 'ask' already 'nang', because that was really swift.

It all depends on your taste bud.  Personally I like mine sweet.  I normally use these to marinate with the sliced meat: honey, crushed lemon grass, lotsa crushed garlics, a little bit of lime juice and of course Fish sauce.  What did U use for marinate?

I try to make sin hang couple of time before, but it doesn't tast that good. I have beef jerky net to dry it outside. I love all Lao food.

You forgot the make or break ingrediant: "khao kua!".

'khao kua' will be too gritty for me personally.  I prefer my meat to be 'sweet and smooth'  Roll Eyes
