Famous as Chiang Mai's signature dish, Luang Prabang's Khao Soy really has little in common with the tangy, coconut milk version of Northern Thailand. Loas have their own rendition of the delicious curry soup. The Loas "Khao Soy" is comprised of white noodles, bamboo shoots, a clear borth, coriander and spring onions, with what can only be described as a dolllop of Bolognese sauce! (It's no ragu we're talking about, this is the real deal - made fresh with minced pork, shallots, fresh tomatoes, chillis and "tua nao" fermented soybeans). And on the side add as little or as much you like - curly leaf lettuce, cabbage, watercress, green beans, mint and basil. All the ingredients go to create this aromatic and healthy signature Laos dish!

ReplyDeleteTo be honest, i really don't like Khao Soy because it isn't as delicious as it looks. By the way, I tried many times to eat it. Anyway, the local northern dish is quite popular now.
Khun Por,
