“What I love most about the Lao culture is the food, and how it is a unique blend of other Southeast Asian foods, becoming our own cuisine style.”
“As a Laotian-American who was born in the Midwest, and whose family ran and operated an Asian grocery store in Ohio, I was constantly exposed to unique foods and blessed with the opportunity to meet and learn about the amazing people among the various communities around me.”

What I enjoy sharing with my friends, and what they seem to always remember is sweet rice, AKA “Sticky Rice”. Dip it in a little bit of your favorite brand seasoning sauce, Golden Mountain brand or Maggi.
“Sticky rice is a regular piece of my meals to this day!”
“I hope to continue sharing Lao culture to those around me, and passing it down to my future generations.”
