As a Lao American, the aspect of Lao culture that I love the most is the food.

“When I tell my friends about Lao culture, I talk about the food because I believe that food is what connects cultures to one another.”

“I tell them about sticky rice, papaya salad, Larb, dac sien, and all about its complex flavors.

That’s the gateway I use to get people

to be more interested in Lao culture.

 
 
 

“With so many Lao cuisines, there is always one dish that someone will be interested in and like.”
