I eat also these noodle all the time. Lap does sound good. They say if you eat little hot food it's good for you. Little bet of Everthing is good and too much of everything is not good.
Cool

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.

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.

You have already admitted that you can only hack a meager 4 chillies. Until you give birth to a 'chilli dog', you're not as Lao as you think you are. Ask Keo (or anybody else one this forum) they'll tell you how itchy it gets back there! Wink

Why do you keep provoking me?
I had already let bygones be bygones. You seem to get a thrill out these childish games.
Are you really this annoying in-person?
Does my opinion of you really mean that much to you?

Here's your chance to get a free shot off: I will no longer be responding to you directly or indirectly. You can spread whatever rumours you want. You are more than welcome to deface the image of Larb Dip.

I couldn't care less Wink

Woe is you. Get over it. You are not the victim here, anyone can go back in the history and see who attacked who first. True I should have been the better man and let it slide, yet I let less than better judgement get the better of me and I defended myself.

Cry me a river, Larb. You'll not have me regretting my words. It is you who needs to do some soul-searching. You don't hear me disrespecting my heritage. That is your department, you own that patent.

Another thing Dip, you don't fool anyone on this forum any longer, we can see the REAL YOU. As the song says, "your true colors come shining through."

As for the traditional rice noodle"kau poun" I don't really like the after taste. Do any of you feel the same. It's probably just me.

Agree Jackspade, I like Pho more than "Kao Poun" once in awhile it's okey with "Kao Poun"

The only time the noodle is good for is salad wrap "pun".

That is pretty cheap compare to $10-15 buffet. As for a bowl of noodles it's about $6-7 in the states, so $2 is not that bad.

Maybe if you go to a fancy restaurant they'll overcharge. I just eat at the street vendors though, cheaper, and tastier usually.

You are absolutely right street vendors are usually better, however, you gotta be careful on what you eat. Food from vendors are usually not that clean and not safe (temperature zone).

Indeed. First time I got sick was from eating larb neua, or larb mu, can't remember which. It was definitely undercooked a bit. I stick to larb gai now, they seem to cook it more thoroughly (maybe because of H1N1?).

The one thing I've noticed in Thailand is that the curry the street vendors sells sucks. It's very watered down. Better to pay a bit more in a real restaurant and get some good curry.
