My favourite Lao diamond in the dust. This place is truly a local's gem and my go-to when I need to satisfy that spicy, sour, salty craving of the real deal lao cuisine.
For those of you who are not acquainted with Lao cuisine check out Star Lao as a first experience, you know what they say about first impressions! My staples...
Lao 'Som Tum' Paw Paw Salad - Traditional salad dish of shredded paw paw, carrots, cherry tomatoes, dried shrimp in a salty, spicy, sour crab paste sauce. Must get it spicy otherwise it can be a little pungent
Lao Sausage - Seasoned with Lao flavourings & sticky rice, again salty, sour & spicy with sour/spicy fish sauce dip
Grilled Ox Tongue - Perfectly tender and succulent grilled Ox tongue with sour/spicy fish sauce dip
Chicken Feet Salad - crunchy clean chicken feet (don't let the toes gross u out haha) mixed with Asian herbs, carrots, red onion in a spicy sour fish sauce
Green Chicken Curry - they sure do keep it literal as this place rocks the greenest green curry I've ever seen! I've been told they use spinach to give it the bright green colour but when it's this good is even gobble it down if it were purple!
Grilled Pork Belly - A little indulgent with all the fat but oh so worth it. Lightly battered and grilled leaving a thin crispy covering before it melts away into your mouth.
Dishes average $8-10, an absolute steal! read more
