Homemade hummus, labneh w za’atar, fancy Israeli salad, a nice red and a dessert of chocolate halvah. 😻🇮🇱🔯
Still pretending I’m not in Thailand: Eggs scrambled w onions and smoked fish and pumpernickel bagels carried back from Barney Greengrass in NYC. 🇺🇸 🔯 🥯
A mountain of mutton biryani consumed to a soundtrack of oldies I’ve never heard before.
Actually this place serves normal coffee but @pawkhrua insists on drinking Thomas’s face every morning.
POWER LUNCH W MEGACHEFS. @davidwjthompson’s response when I asked if we could take a selfie to commemorate the event: “Fuck off.” #rude
@pawkhrua got me the raddest t-shirt (yes, this a real place: my mom is the librarian at Boring Middle School).
More Lao noods for @saveurmag! This is khao piak sen/ເຂົ້າປຽກເສັ້ນ, thick udon-like rice and tapioca flour noodles in pork broth. The noodles are dusted w tapioca four and cooked in the broth, giving it a slightly viscous quality. This version was served w crispy pork belly (a nice contrast w that broth), steamed cubes of blood and a really, really spicy condiment of dried chilies fried in oil. 🇱🇦
Take Vientiane’s scariest abandoned building, add a disused cargo contained, insert a bar selling rhum made in Laos = a very cool bar. #lpinlaos #lonelyplanet 🇱🇦
Everything you’ll eat at @doikanoi is tasty — seriously, I think it might be one of the better restaurants in SE Asia at the moment — but I especially enjoyed the peppery stir-fry of wild chanterelles and pork. Also, I was given a sticky rice basket hand-made by Noi’s 91-y-o father, and Mick’s plum-infused gin is bonkers. And we never even made it to the grilled banana ice cream. #lpinlaos 🇱🇦
Last night’s dinner at Vientiane’s KFC (Kuvieng Fried Chicken). Tasty AF papaya salad the way that only the Lao can do, fried chicken allegedly “borrowing” the recipe of the other KFC, and, naturally, fries. #lpinlaos 🇱🇦
Of all the things I’ve done or ever will do, I’m proudest of my cat reviews. Dip into my Stories for some quality, hard-hitting, no-holds-barred, sometimes shocking and always totally objective and accurate reportage. 🐈 🥇
