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.

What a happy Friday it is to have my favorite dish for dinner. I made green papaya and noodle salad to go with kiep moo or pork rinds. The papaya was a bit ripe so it was a sign of good luck. Well, that is a Lao saying anyway to buy a green papaya and it happened to be a bit ripe.

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.

Growing up in Laos meant spending a great deal of time watching sports such as boxing and football. I can still remember the thrill of going to football matches at a stadium in Vientiane. Football is like a religion in our family so naturally the World Cup is a time when we would feast on various Lao dishes and how can I forget the snacks for the men and their Beer Lao. It’s a good time for family and friends to gather around the TV cheering the favorite team.
Even though I am at “Home away from Home” I still treat myself to my favorite Lao food like Lao green papaya while cheering for my favorite teams during the World Cup.

Another day with tum maak hough aka Lao green papaya salad for dinner. I cooked rice noodles to go with the salad and had Lao water spinach on the side.

It was a happy Friday on May 14, 2010 and I treated myself to a batch of tum maak houng and khua mie or Lao green papaya salad and fried noodles. The left-over food made a great lunch the next day.

A rough Monday can always end with happiness with a bowl of tum maak houng aka Lao green papaya salad. I had a batch on Saturday and took a day off from my favorite Lao dish on Sunday but after a long start on the first day of the week I had to treat myself to some good old Lao food to sooth my soul.
I bought a package of fish balls with seaweed to add to the salad. It blended well with the other ingredients and quite good.

I went to China Town on May 08, 2010 to stock up on some fresh herbs and spices and bought a couple of small green papaya salad. There is no surprise that for dinner that night I made myself a delicious batch of tum maak houng or Lao green papaya salad. I still have one green papaya left and will make tum maak houng for tonight’s dinner but minus the “works” for sure.

I made a special meal for myself on Earth Day and that was real Lao Food with tum maak houng and pingkai. Rather than cooking sticky rice I made rice noodles to go with the meal.
