Cooking and eating together with the family! We had such a lovely time with Si and his family, cooking 5 delicious dishes. It was fun to go with the family to the local market to pick out all of the ingredients, while they educated us on local produce and meats. Back at their lovely home, cooking in the outdoor patio kitchen over wood fires was a real authentic experience
Alex was a very welcoming and hospitable host. He has great knowledge on Laos culture, cuisine and history. He exceeded many of my expectations and offered more than anyone could ask for. Alex is a very well organized host who offers many different activities one could get involved in. My favorite food item was having the sticky rice with the different sauces, they were both spicy but can be adjusted for a palette that may not be able to handle too much spice. It was very fresh and had a lot of flavor considering it was made from very few ingredients. I enjoyed the overall experience!
