Lao cuisine represents the most intense taste of local goodness prepared with the freshest ingredients on the beautiful island. Get to know Lao cuisine better with this blog.
Fresh Ingredients!
The mountains, rivers, and luscious forests filled with biodiversity mean one thing: fresh ingredients for food! You can expect to taste the freshness with each bite you taste of Lao cuisine. Nature is the locals’ best friend! A variety of meat including fish, duck, chicken, pork, and beef is being used in the food as well.
What’s Behind the Flavour?
The intense flavours with the salivating aroma are the reasons Lao cuisine is special. The spicy, slightly sweet food is flavoured using 3 key factors, lemongrass, fermented fish sauce, and the charcoal that helps grill the food to perfection. You can find these being used in all Luang Prabang hotels and restaurants to cook their meals, including Avani+ Luang Prabang.
The Best Dishes!
Sticky rice is a must-try if you’re in Laos, served with almost every meal. The traditional meat salad with fresh herbs is called Laab. Muu Haeng and Siin Haeng are sun-dried pork and beef fit for a meat lover. You can also try the green mango salad, the iconic coffee, and the coconut water and sugarcane juice.
Traditions Brought Forward!
Laos traditions are delightful to watch. Every main meal including soup, rice, meat, and vegetables is served at the same time. The ‘Tao Dam’ is the traditional stove with a clay pot that is used to prepare most meals. Banana leaves and bamboo baskets are essentials you will often encounter on the island.
