Sometimes I just feel like fish. This was my dinner last night. A simple meal of tuna and salmon sashimi and washed it down with lemon grass green tea. I am hooked on lemon grass green tea. I took the photos with my Sony Ericsson Satio since I didn’t feel like taking out a regular digital camera.

Starting the week off right with Lao food to sooth my soul. The dish is no other than green papaya salad with rice noodle. I still have enough left of kiep moo or pork rinds to add to the meal.

Sashimi made of salmon and tuna for tonight’s dinner. I’m waiting for oysters season to get here starting in September so I can pig out on Dutch oysters or French oysters. For now sushi and sashimi will keep me happy for the rest of the summer.

I made Laap Beef or Lao minced meat salad for dinner. It was a perfect meal to go with World Cup Football match. Laap beef is not my favorite Lao food dish but I can eat it a few times a year.

I made another Lao green papaya salad for dinner on June 28, 2010. It was a perfect meal to go with the World Cup Match. I even treated myself extra with Som Moo or soured pork sausage and pork rinds. The meal was served with rice stick noodles rather than steamed sticky rice.

I don’t eat much Lao food like I used to daily when I was still living with my parents. I eat simple food most of the time like salad for dinner, fruits and soy drink for breakfast and lunch. When I do make Lao dish, it’s usually Lao green papaya salad. On a rare occasion I would take my time to make bamboo shoot soup or other Lao traditional food like mushroom soup when I have a craving for it.

Here is another Lao green papaya salad for dinner on June 25, 2010. I buy one big papaya so it takes a few salads before it’s all gone.
