These look delicious! What a great photo too! What kind of camera do you use?
Lao style Kaojii makes my mouth water 
Stop it!
I’ll have one of those from local Vietnamese bakery this weekend. Nom!
Juiced: Ta. But to be honest, they looked better than they tasted… Nikon D300.
Samakom: Me too… I tend to like them even more than those in Vietnam (more veggies here!).
Hock: No.
‘Pong: Nice! In Sydney, right?
Oh yeah! khao jii pate!
how do these differ from banh mi?
i believe the vietnamese versions are smothered with mayo on one side, then pate on another. it is also seasoned with some fish sauce, and contains some radish and carrot pickles.
are these Lao versions similar?
