I have been living in Madrid for about two years. I am studying Business Administration just to have something but then I am planning on studying my real passion which is Fashion Design. Although my kitchen really is small that does not impede from cooking my favourite Lao and Thai recipes. That is why I am so glad that I found your blog, Vienne. I lived for one year and a half at Vientiane with my mother and my grandmother but I did not visit Laos as much as I would had wanted. That is why, ten years later I went to Laos (on Christmas of this year) and visited Luang Prabang. Since neither Estanislao nor you have ever been there I must say that by all means you should go. In fact, I believe that you MUST go. The cuisine of the north is astonishing. The Luang Prabang sausage is amazing and it gets even better when eaten with sticky rice and the typical Lao tomato sauce. What I would, however, really recommend Estanislao is that you should go to Villa Santi Hotel (the resort is on the city limits, but the hotel itself is found on the very centre of Luang Prabang) and taste the Royal Lao Menu. It costs about 15 USD per person and there are two sets which includes amazing recipes that I never had the occasion of trying before. I will never forget the deep fried pork stuffed in lemongrass and it did get even more unforgetable after tasting the deep fried pork stuffed in shredded bamboo. Apart from the fantastic gastronomical experience, you should visit the Wat Xiengthong, Pak Ou and the Phousi. Congrats again for your blog! PD: Vienne, one more thing: make no mistake that I will definitely visit your restaurant. Hello again! I have been living in Madrid for about two years.

Its about 30USD a night. You will get to taste a lot of Papaya Salad in Laos, try it with Fried Pork Skin!! I have never been to Luangprabang, but everyone tells me that it is worth the visit. Have fun! Hola Estanislao,

I learn a lot. I was very intrigued reading about your food, so, Last month, when I went to Paris, found and eat at a small Lao restaurant... Wonderful, really interesting and very different from northern Vietnamese food, the one Im used to. I was alone, so I couldn't got lots of dishes, as my will was demanding! I tasted green papaya salad with chilies, tomato and a few crushed raw crabs. also I got a fish mok and my all favorite sticky rice. I also tasted brilliant Lao beer. that night was perfect. Thank you for the tips for Vientianne, I will stay at an hotel, I got no relatives nor friends in Laos. So I count on your directions! Another question. Do Luang Prabang worth the trip? Thank you very much for your help Vienne, as soon as I arrive from Laos I will make a reservation at your restaurant. Just a few Hours from madrid!

I am so glad that you will be going to Laos, I am sure that you will enjoy every minute of your travels. Most good food can be found in the markets, and the market that you MUST visit is the Morning Market in Vientiane (Talat Sao). As for restaurants, I think that you should visit Makphet Restaurant on Sethathirat Road (opposite Wat Inpeng), it is run by Friends International and is helping Lao children. For evening drinks, any of the street stalls near the Mekong River offer seats near the river bank (bring Mosquito spray), or the bar Kop Chai Der, near the Fountain (a tourist meeting point) is also a fun place, they have live music most nights. Are you staying with family or friends? Hi Estanislao, always a pleasure to know that you visit.
