We bought quite a few Lao dishes for lunch from Talat Khua Din. I think my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I wanted to try just about everything I saw.

By lunch time I choose a bowl of Khao Poon and followed by my favorite Lao Dessert, Narm Van Lod Chong (pandan jelly in coconut milk).

I was happy to treat my eight relatives to a nice meal. They didn’t have to cook for me and can just enjoy a nice lunch during their break from school and work.
