Thank you to Audible for sponsoring this video. Latest audiobook I listed to was called “The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu.”
During my trip to Vientiane, we decided to take a day trip to a small village called Ban Hatkai located right on the outskirts of Phou Khao Khouay National Bio-Diversity Conservation Area in Laos. The main goal of the trip was to visit the village and especially learn about local Lao Lum food (ລາວລຸ່ມ)
It was about a 2 hour drive to get there, and we stopped a few minutes outside of Vientiane first to visit a market and buy some ingredients. But the best thing about markets is that there’s always also some pre-cooked food available - and for breakfast in Laos, that means sticky rice and grilled meat! We got some quail and grilled dried buffalo lungs, both of which were delicious.
Ban Hatkhai - Ban Hatkai is a beautiful quiet village, and we arrived to the home, a beautiful wooden Laos traditional home. She immediately got started cooking, chopping all the vegetables and herbs, and steaming the sticky rice.
Koi paa - Lao fish mixed dish - For me this was the highlight of our meal. The fish was sliced thin, flash blanched, mixed with all sorts of fresh herbs, and toasted sticky rice powder, and seasoned with fish sauce.
Jaew - Any type of Lao dip - She made both an eggplant and a tomato jaew, both of which were delicious to eat with vegetables.
The best part of this meal and Lao food experience was all of us sitting down to eat together, sitting around a colorful spread of Lao food. The food was heavy on the vegetables and herbs, nutritious, and delicious.

Man I roasted those same exact eggplant and they are very mild, creamy and slightly sweet. I visit H-Mart quite a bit and they always have special Asian ingredients
Joel no wife…but love to eat…right?
The sun-dried meats are like jerky! I really like jerky
I love Laotian's food
That lady cook is Hmong, not Laotian, just so you know, & I know because I speak Hmong (White) & my best friends are Hmong. 😊

This is when yummy is turbo charged
I am a Malaysian. Love Laos, went there many times, and enjoyed food prepared by locals with the same appreciation, super appetising!!! Only one difference, I dont see the use of ajinomoto, this lady must have converted to use less or no ajinomoto.
Looks very yummy
Super,Mark weins sir,I want to eat food with you,👍
Lets gooo my country
Thank you
You can tell that the simplistic natural diet that she has… is coming out from the inside out on her face, she is strikingly beautiful
I cannot wait to get to that part of the world and experience not only the food, but the culture and the people. But I commend you for your bravery as I cannot bring myself to eat any kind of ‘filtering’ organ ( lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, intestines) but I thank you for the love and respect that you have for the people of Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam… it shows in all of your videos from there. God continue to bless you and your family abundantly. 🙏
Good Mark. Not anything against your family but people watch you only!
