Someone's in the Kitchen with Lao-Lao
Time for my Lao-tian cooking class. As you already know, I've been enjoying Lao food immensely. Thai-like flavours are back without the earth-shaking spice. Along the Mekong river,
fish reign supreme, but as a land-locked country they don't have other kinds of seafood. Sticky rice is a special glutinous grain that's actually grown on the hills …
Chillen in Luang Prabang
In de Lonely Planet staat geschreven dat je hier waarschijnlijk langer blijft dan dat je in eerste instantie gepland had. En dat is ook bij ons het geval. Na een aantal dagen reizen is dit de perfecte plek om even te relaxen.
