Good to see Lao food represented and especially the people. We don't need to be out here disguising our identity as Thai, that's not who we are, we are our own distinct culture. Love from the Lao family in Twin Cities, MN🇱🇦
Bruh I'm Samoan and as soon as I seen Laos food in the title I had to see if they served Jeow Bong! Thee greatest compliment to rice on the planet EARFFF!!!!🌍
@Celebrity World I think that person meant other dishes. Like for instance Tom Yum, Lard Na, and Pad Thai. Give credit where credit is due. It is their staple dishes. Not ours.
Married a Laotion man. When I first tried the "funky" stuff I didn't like it. But we've been together 10 years. Lao food is absolutely my favorite food. His mom taught me to make my favorites. So much work and things go into Lao food, it is delicious and you appreciate it. Favorites are ka poon, papaya salsd, and Lao sausage and many more. My mother in law brings by food we just had the beef jerky, sticky rice and jeow bong mmm
What it do Fung Bros! Thanks for taking the time to enjoy Laotian food and sharing our food culture with everyone, I feel there is a wave of foodie lover's out there and yall shining a light on a cuisine that is familair yet lesser known among asian dishes. Keep up all the good work "Kop chai lai lai!" (Thank you very much!)
Everything looked so delicious! I’ve had the Thai version of many of those dishes and I’m sad to see, time and time again, people talking about how sweet Thai food is. It’s not supposed to be so sweet, but I think that’s how many Thai restaurants in America try to attract non-Thai customers. Home Thai cooking has a salty/tart/sweet balance, and not every dish is meant to have a sweet profile (nor is every dish super spicy). When I’m not able to have my mom’s Thai cooking, I sometimes will get Thai food from a restaurant and I have to add fish sauce, vinegar or lime to offset the sweetness. Thanks for highlighting different cuisines in cities where that cuisine is not the norm!
This is true. My family runs an Americanized Thai restaurant which makes Pad Thai ridiculously sweet that Americans love. Same system as Americanized Chinese restaurants with their sweet n sour sauce dishes. Everything is mostly sweet and savory.
@@phety Northern Thai isn't Laos LMAO 😂 I'm half Laos and Thai but Northern Thailand isn't Laos. Isaan maybe but not Kam mueng Lanna culture. It's way different.
Niall Horan technically it used to be apart of Laos until they had to give up their citizenship and become Thai citizens. That’s why Thai issan’s dialect is the closest to laotian
@@likeiimonfiyah Northern (Lanna), not Northeastern (Issan, Lan Xang), has their own culture, tradition which neither Lao or Thai. Pick any common Lao guy and listen to Kham Muang and that person will understand only up to 70%.
I live in the north-eastern Thailand (very close to Laos) and these are actually what we also eat here. The names of the dishes are almost the same. Love Laos food❤️
I have a Laotian friend! I'll send this vid to him, looks delicious! Also when Jack said the sticky rice in his palm warmed his soul...I melted....so sweet!
I’m Filipina and I loveeee me some Lao food. I make my own jeow’s and it makes me excited to see this. California girl definitely will be traveling to check this out. Woohoo!!
All the food looks really awesome, Donny is doing a great job representing Lao cuisine. But how can you guys eat at a Lao restaurant and not have some Tham Mak Hoong (Papaya Salad))?!?
Andrew, gonna say, I love your eating energy! Time and time again, so proud to see my Laotian brothers & sisters getting the exposure they deserve. I’m Filipina and my housemate who is Laotian and raised in St. Louis, taught me how to eat thum mak koong, khao piek, and sai oua!!! So damn good. Mad mad love from hungry San Francisco girl.
Half laos, half Vietnamese Girl here. I miss my laos grandma’s cooking 😭😢 But now I know where to go if I decide to go to Texas And thanks for replying to my question on my Instagram story 😅
Thank You Again for coming by the shop and helping spread the word on Lao food. Awesome meeting you guys and def hope to meeting again in the future !!
Great video! That sakoo brings back food memory of my grandma's version of a savory chor muang. I miss my recent backpacking trip to Laos, Vietnam, and Thailand. One of the best dishes on my entire trip was a pumpkin curry in Muang Ngoi, Laos.
🇱🇦Sao Lao🇱🇦 here saying Sabaidee from the sunshine state!!! I'm so glad you guys are showcasing Lao food again! These are my fav Lao dishes: gang kee lek, yum sa-lut, som puck got, nam khao, gang nor mite som, khao piek, mok gai, and all the different variations of papaya/cucumber/long bean salads. My most favorite is gang kee lek. I eat it at least two times a week. So what's your fav Lao dish(es)?
Just got into the kitchen life and I love the plating and way he did it. It's the way I would have imagined to get people to try it. Gotta visit and support one day.
I’m Lao and I would say Kao Poon, is my favorite dish. Thanks for checking out Lao Food! I’m definitely going there when I go to Dallas. Keep up the great content fung bros!
Lao food is so experimental. To see Andrew mixing it up is really good. Cuz it takes me back and I do the same thing still. Especially growing up in the struggle, all I would eat was sticky rice sometimes. And I’d just eat sticky rice with jeow or even fried onions
My dad came over from Laos during Vietnam, I grew up watching him do some crazy stuff with food. Always making a basket of sticky rice lol. I think the French influence had a part in shaping Lao cuisine. Some of the dishes can be surprisingly refined for coming out of the jungle, and I find myself putting a little Lao influence when I cook anything. It compliments western and Spainish styles nicely.
I never really realized these things till I got older. Laotians do eat snails. But I remember my parents always dipping bread into their coffee. As a kid, I always thought to myself 🤔 is that even an Asian thing to do? To first off even like/have bread? & I def got the ph, ch, & th in my last name.
S/o Fung Bros I'm glad y'all enjoy our kind of food 👍and putting us out there to be known . We need the exposure , our culture is dying and we need to be keeping the culture alive by talking about it more . Much respect Southeast Asian food is the bomb. But you guys missed a dish that would make the Khao soy a lot less funky ... Papaya salad (Thom som) my favorite Laos restaurant is in Sacramento CA. It's literally called Southeast Asian market I love love there foods.
I finally made here the other day. Typical Lao food, a lot of attention to detail. I have never paid $2 for a small Lao/Thai dipping sauce until I came here. I order the whole menu, good over all but not $150 good. Definitely didn’t leave full. On a positive note, glad to see more Lao spots.
Awesome! I am salivating for all the dishes, especially the condiments to dip for added flavor. They all look authentic, though fusionized, from my Myanmar cultural eyes, I want to taste them all. Thank you very much for a great program!
Sabaidee, i have been cooking professionally for over 20 years and can cook alot of dishes from all around the world but i always crave and look foward to come home and eat sticky rice and jeow padek lol my blood runs deep. To most of kon lao i no we love are secrecy but we need to share our food and culture with the world. Thankyou to my 2nd generation lao american, im proud and happy that finally lao food is being showcase
That's because Issan region in thailand once belong to Laos, until the French gave some region to Thailand, which is the now northeastern part of thailand, known as Issan. We share same culture, religion, language, food. To the world, Issan doesn't exist, only in thailand
True! Statistically if you really think about it. There is more Lao ethnic in Isaan then in Laos. 23 million! Lao maybe 6 million. Our music food dialect, fighters are becoming mainstream.
@@Thongsai as long as issan don't forget their roots, it's all good. Issan are the true Lao. In my opinion, the Lao in Laos have mixes of other blood, viet, Chinese etc.
@@geopaulet923 I agree with you. There is no signs of Isaan people forgetting our roots. If anything its stronger because of us Isaan" Central Thai's say Sap Sap" now for delicious. Our culture and language is becoming mainstream. If anything Laos herself is losing her Laoness. Alot of people there are mixed with Vietnamese. You guys eat with chopsticks . Isaan people aren't really good with chopsticks also Lao eat Pho. To Isaan Pho is not that popular.
@@geopaulet923 I don't know where you get that part of history but Laos used to be a part of Thailand until Franch was taking over Laos regions from Thailand. Issan never became a part of French territories. French never gave back the land. Laos and Issan were the same but had taken apart by French which is sad. Go back further. Laos was also their own thing but Lan Chang (Siam=Thailand) taken over because they had problems. Lan Chang took over but they let them be to had their own rules but had to pay tribute to Lan Chang. The history goes back so much long before world war ll. I think at the beginning we were just friends and family living across Me-Khong river. I consider Thailand and Laos are cousin.
Love his modern twists on the classics!! Y'all gotta try more Lao food like Nam Khao, Mieng Luang Prabang, Mieng Padaek, Or Larm, Laarb Leuat Bhet, Jeun En Gai, Gang Nor Mai, Soup Nor Mai, Mok etc...
Thank you guys. I live in Dallas fir years. But I never dine in that restaurant Bf. I also attended Le Corden Blue in Dallas. I’m 57 years old now. Is it too late to opening Lao the restaurant? I know how to cook Lao food pretty. But many of my friends,cousins,n siblings are crazy about my recipe(Clawfish). I also know how to make Lao noodle Khaopoon from sketch. I learned from watching them making in Laos. Sukiyaki is the hardest sauce for me to make. But my auntie can make the best.
You didn't try the Lao papaya salad? I knew that sausage would get one of them lol. That is the one thing I miss from my mom's cooking. Thank you, Fung Bros for spreading the word about Lao cuisine.
We are glad y'all are eating well, bro let me eat too. 😢Kit thung Mae gu.. FYI those are just side appitzer, go all in with Lao food and you will love it even more. Try phun pla with nam Jim it's up there with Korean BBQ wraps.
We got jars on top of jars of the the pickled greens. Stir fry that with pork belly, bro. Hella bomb Lao style khao soi, I grew up on it. My favorite noodles
I'm so happy LAO cuisine is finally just LAO cuisine not THAI AND LAO or THAI but they're really LAO. My favorite cuisine!!! I should've been born LAO lol.
Niall Horan Bland and Lao food in one sentence sounds like blasphemy. Lol no seriously how many time have you had actual real Laos food? It’s the most pungent flavorful cuisine compared to other SEA cuisines.
@@oldmanriver713 Yeah, I blame it on the OGs for doing that. Now, people just can't walk into an authentic Lao restaurant without saying its all Thai cuisine.
I'm Laotian. But I've been disconnected from my roots for so long, I almost forget things. Till I'm watching something on yt. Random yt video: Asian table mannerisms: you always feed your elders first. Me: 🤔 Oh yeah. I was never able to get to that point but,💡 also, somewhere in this universe, mental pic: _elder making a whole bunch of munckin bite size sticky balls w/ w.ever on top of it to feed to a rug rat 😁_ Ha. You gotta love Asians.
Loving all the Lao grub vids! Thanks for helping putting this on the map! Also, it goes bite of meat, then rice in jeow. At least in my fam we did. Flavors of the meat dish then texture and heat from the rice and jeow. Whatever order works though.
Wow this restaurant is so interesting. Thank you so much to spread Laos food 🙏☺️☺️ I’m Laotian but I live in NZ and one day I’m planing to open Laos restaurant as well. New subscribe here❣️
Dave Da Man dang bro ain’t got no time like that for you here like that bro. Much love for Mr. MacLee909 and other culture loving and respecting one another and you over here being ignorant and racists towards other people really tells a lot about yourself.
When you guys said Khao Soi is funky but doesn’t taste like it smells that immediately reminded me of Durian. Durian smells foul but taste great. Though some people would disagree.
1DeeThunder Khao soy from my understanding is originally a Tai Lue dish. The smells comes from fermented bean paste that’s cooked with ground pork, garlic, and tomatoes. If you that’s funky, wait until you try kalieng fen (Tai Lue cold jelly noodle).
That place is called Khao noodle. He really calls it rice noodles. But that also gives a vibe like he made everything from scratch tho. Anyways, alotta Laos dish's are "funky"/fermented. When I was a kid, I definitely wouldve never imagined for papaya salad to take off the way it has. But the way ppl try to cater to things in different areas might be a different story

Who disguises? It's just more similar to us is the only difference.
You know r culture and traditions run deep the proof is in the flavor....
You said it best!!! Honestly tired of having to be disguised as Thai when we have our own flavors and culture to share. Sap Saaaap!!

I’ll trade you Jeow Bong for some roast Pork
My favourite too after jaew muklen (spicy tamato paste)
yea jeow bong is very good with stickyrice
People sleepin on Lao food... That Nam Khao is fire

Laos food is one of the most underexposed cuisines out there.
Primarily because it gets taken and shown in Thai cuisine.

Khao Poon is so good. I personally eat it with a couple Bird’s Eye Chillis dipped in Shrimp paste. The Shrimp paste defines true funk taste lol
At the end of the day it’s really all about just dipping the sticky rice into all them flavor pepper sauce
This makes me so happy y'all are giving Lao food the exposure it needs! 😍
You’re exactly right. Lao sausage is out of this world. Nothing like it. It’s so good.
I'm glad they did lao food again. They did this one Justice. Food looks good. Lao guy here n I approve.

Loving all the Lao grub vids! Thanks for helping putting this on the map! Also, it goes bite of meat, then rice in jeow. At least in my fam we did. Flavors of the meat dish then texture and heat from the rice and jeow. Whatever order works though.

When you guys said Khao Soi is funky but doesn’t taste like it smells that immediately reminded me of Durian. Durian smells foul but taste great. Though some people would disagree.
1DeeThunder Khao soy from my understanding is originally a Tai Lue dish. The smells comes from fermented bean paste that’s cooked with ground pork, garlic, and tomatoes. If you that’s funky, wait until you try kalieng fen (Tai Lue cold jelly noodle).
That place is called Khao noodle. He really calls it rice noodles. But that also gives a vibe like he made everything from scratch tho. Anyways, alotta Laos dish's are "funky"/fermented. When I was a kid, I definitely wouldve never imagined for papaya salad to take off the way it has. But the way ppl try to cater to things in different areas might be a different story
Lady and the Tramp vibes😂Too funny. Keep up the good work FungBros! ✌
Andrew is me always mixing different food combinations to enjoy it to the max😂
