Hahahhaha the fermented fish sauce is liquid gold called “padek” it’s an essential ingredient to a Lao papaya salad and other dishes. Thats rhetorical big difference in a Lao vs Thai papaya salad.
Ahh yeah we've had Thai-style papaya salad before and this was a different experience for sure! Too strong for us but was definitely the most popular dish we saw people ordering
Who says that you cannot smell or taste from watching a video. From both your facial expressions, I came close to tasting the passion fruit drink and that " fishy" papaya salad. The look on Sarah's face struggling to maintain decorum on camera while chewing on the salad was priceless! Sarah, you have a voice acting career ahead of you from your hilarious impression of Seunghyun! Keep doing what you guys are doing! Always look forward to your vlogs!❤
thank you guys for sharing your visit to Laos. I'm Lao/Chinese and i love the country of Laos. i just feel that this landlocked country is overlooked too often times. the country is similar to Thailand but the people made the difference. Lao people are more peaceful n charitable than Thai people. Lao people are extremely kind. i hope you enjoyed your stayed there. Wednesday :)
Thank you for watching! We are so surprised more people don't visit Laos - Although we love Thailand too, Laos felt much more relaxed and was a great stop for travelers. We loved our visit and want to go back someday soon hopefully!
I’m glad you guys went to Laos. I was born in Laos n now I lived in Iowa, USA. Enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing. God bless y’all, enjoy n safe travels 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Kudos to both of you tried out Laos foods. We just got back from Vientiane our teens girls only ate noodles soups and rice soup for the whole time lol😅
I think the green drink (of the 3 drinks) at 14 minutes is blended Indian pennywort in English. You'll find this green drink in Vietnam too. It's supposed to be healthy. The orange drink is Thai tea which is black tea and sweetened condensed milk. The papaya salad is seasoned with the sauce from fermented fish, very strong odor. If you ordered the Lao version, it has sauce from fermented crabs and the crabs themselves. Very strong odor as well. It's always eaten with vegetables like cabbage or morning glory to tame down the strong flavors and peppers and accompany with sweet rice and meat.
With meat sounds pretty good! We tried papaya salad like three or four times in Laos but sadly couldn't adjust 😅 I think we prefer more mild fish sauce
That GREEN drink you guys have, may have been Pennyworth drink. Extracted from Pennyworth leaves. It's supposed to be a "cool" medicine. If you're body is hot, you would be drinking that to cool your system down, or when you're somewhat under the weather. Similar affect to Lotus roots.
The fry spring roll is a local version of Vietnamese cha gio. You are supposed to wrap it with vegetables first, like lettuce and cilantro, pepper, cucumber…of your choice, before you dip it in the sauce.
The meatballs we had were pork, but we saw some chicken and beef-only dishes at other stalls. The downtown area had so many different restaurants to choose from, so I'm sure you all will have many options to try. Have a safe, fun trip! 😊
@@ting2222 nice! It looked like khao poon to me. Never had mee katee before. Will have to try it next time I'm in Laos. I was just there last August in Xiangkhouang area.
@@ting2222 btw what language is mee katee? I know mee means noodle in Hmong but katee is not hmong. Or is it? I've always called coconut "txiv maj phaub" which maj phaub is actually a Lao word. I am Hmong btw.
@@eludethis it is Lao language. It’s not khao poon at all. The noodles is the same as Pho noodle, different from khao poon noodle. The soup for it is also different. Mee Katee is usually not widely sold like Pho or khao piak or khao poon. You have to find out where they are sold. I myself like to eat it too when I have a chance.
Green papaya, vermicelli or mango salads tend to have the fermented fish sauce in it that you guys don’t like it. But us Lao folks love that flavor😂. It’s definitely an acquired taste and not meant for those that don’t like that pungent fishy smell or taste.
Eating Authentic Laos Style Papaya salad is an acquired taste. But the one that like padaek fermented fish, this is the best papaya salad you can get.. Even some thais can not handle it, Falang can get an easy pass.. lol
Visit our country🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭philippines,there is to much beach like Anawangin Cove San Antonio Zambales,Nagsasa Cove San Narciso Zambales,Capones Island....or boracay,palawan or panglaw
So many others love it too, it was so popular everywhere we went! We tried a few times but are hoping to try it spicy-style next time - we heard it's tastier that way

@14:12 I think it called Pennyworth drink. Very Popular among Vietnamese search it up.

Wow.. one of my bucket lists. Thank you

Wow! Vientiane stree food looks so delilicious!🤗
I will be there next year ! Can’t wait to enjoy the food 😅 milk tea and noodles every day.
My Mexican friends in the US love papaya salad with sticky rice 😂
We love papaya salad too but only styles without the heavy fish sauce. It sounds great with sticky rice!
Lol!! Papaya salads are always popular in Thailand and Laos, but you have to get used to the fermented fish sauce.
I’m glad you guys went to Laos. I was born in Laos n now I lived in Iowa, USA. Enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing. God bless y’all, enjoy n safe travels 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
We appreciate your kind words ❤️ Your home country was a great place to visit and we hope you're enjoying your time in the USA too~ Cheers! 😊

Sarah and Seunghyun nice clip. Papaya salad should be eaten with roasted chicken and sticky rice.
Ohhh that sounds like it would be tastier - we'll have to try that way next time. Thank you!
Papaya salad is a staple / comfort food for every Lao household. Usually paired with protein. I.e; grilled chicken or beef skewers.
Haha, loved the lip sync bit
Sabaidee❤❤❤
Sabaidee ❤️
You two look beautiful together!
Welcome to laos🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦
That Green Drink what you have , that was Centella asiatica or water Pennywort leaf Juice or Lao people call Nam Pak nork
You guys had kapoon, laksa, or mee ga tee looking dish which are my favorite
We loved it too! So tasty 😋
Mee Ka Thee 👍👍
Yor Juen
I am glad that you visited Laos
I love pappya salad 🥗.. Your taste buds have to get use to it..😊
The green drink is pennyworth
Any problems with the ice in the drinks? Are they made with purified water?
Can you link the hotel you stay in and it's cost please? Place where you ate and price too please? Will be there in two months.
Papaya salad is what we are known for it’s an acquired taste but you have to dive deeper than that and pair it with meat !!
With meat sounds pretty good! We tried papaya salad like three or four times in Laos but sadly couldn't adjust 😅 I think we prefer more mild fish sauce
Salted crabs , nem , Lao sausage..😊
When did you vlog this video???
Early 2023

Oooh thank you~ It was pretty tasty!
The last soup you had i know from Thailand 🇹🇭 and its sooooo good with beef 😋 love it! Sitting here in Germany now and just want a bowl of soup 😂😂😂
welcome to lao❤❤❤
GURL THATS WHERE I LIVE AND I HIGHLY RECOMEND YOU TOO GO TOO THATLUANG AND PHATUXAY!!!
First dish you ate is khaopoon. Red curry, vermicelli with blood cake.
That fishy taste is called padaek. It’s Laos crack sauce that they put in a lot of dishes. One of the dishes they put it in is called papaya salad.
The green drink is pandas drink. Papaya salad is made out of raw fish and fish sauce, the dish of Lao.
Welcome to Laos!
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The fry spring roll is a local version of Vietnamese cha gio. You are supposed to wrap it with vegetables first, like lettuce and cilantro, pepper, cucumber…of your choice, before you dip it in the sauce.
Oh yum, it was already tasty but sounds like it would go even better with herbs. Thank you for the tip!
This food makes me wantt to book a flight. Love Laos and Laotian people
im deaddd, haha the voice over was great doing her man voice lol yeah not much people can handle papaya salad. id say its an acquired taste.
Their not in vietnam so spring rolls are eaten all over Southeast Asia
Yes, love people also do this the same
👍😘😘
Welcome to Laos ❤
Thank you!
U have to say sap lai, tastes very good.
Do you know if the Meatballs you guys consumed were fish, pork, or beef? My family will visit soon, but some of us can't eat pork.
The meatballs we had were pork, but we saw some chicken and beef-only dishes at other stalls. The downtown area had so many different restaurants to choose from, so I'm sure you all will have many options to try. Have a safe, fun trip! 😊
There are meatballs made from pork,beef,fish you can tell cooker what you can't eat
I know my dad likes that green drink. I never but I assume it’s like water cress leaves maybe. It’s ok drink to me more healthy than tasty probably.
😢. 😅
I believe the first dish is kao piek or kao poon.
Thank you! We were struggling to find the name so had to guess
It is actually called mee katee. Mee is noodle. Katee is coconut milk. Not khao piak not khao poon.
@@ting2222 nice! It looked like khao poon to me. Never had mee katee before. Will have to try it next time I'm in Laos. I was just there last August in Xiangkhouang area.

How is it to eat lao food?
Go girl! You brave to eat blood cake 😅
Man papaya salad are the best
Did you get sick after eating this?

Hey guys i wanna tell you that food you eat in Laos Almost all of them are imported from Thailand. Boat noodle is also Thai food.
Thank you! We aren't too concerned about the origin of each dish - if it tastes good,
we're happy 😊
Laos 😊❤❤
Affordable to eat
I love ya Happy New year 2025 be safe
She try some of the Lao WOW sauce and got lost in Laos 😂

Papaya salad is the best! But it is an acquired taste with the fishy smell lol
Right, we tried two more papaya salads in Laos but couldn't adjust 😂 I think we can only handle more mild-flavored papaya salads
Do they really understand English in that part of town?
Are you sure you can eat spicy 🌶️ foods
Sarah loves to but not Seunghyun 😅
@@twobetween 😝
I love papaya salad; Im kinda bummed out yall didnt like it as much, But I unerstand its a dish that can come across too strong and fishy.
So many others love it too, it was so popular everywhere we went! We tried a few times but are hoping to try it spicy-style next time - we heard it's tastier that way
Spring rolls are Vietnamese foods
Who cares
and? what’s your point?
@@samphanhsoxayachanh5180 it’s not Laos cuisine
@@dannydinh3244 spring rolls are literally eaten everywhere in Southeast Asia but if you want to make it a point that it’s a Viet cuisine then go off bro 🤣🤣🤣

I like when I see beautiful white girls just in general dating Asian men because we’ve come a long way!
That's why you don't wanna eat papaya salad without spicy it doesn't taste good
Next time we'll have to try the spicy version - that sounds better
