It has been 27 years since I came to Japan in 1997, and my son, an elementary school student, also helps the store. ■ Except for the embassy, ​​it is known to serve Laotian food for the first time in Japan. The female owner of "Sabaidee", which has its main store in Asagaya, was also a regular when she was an international student. The owner of "Chen Lao" in Osaka also visited once. Also, it seems that he couldn't participate in the "Laos Festival" at Yoyogi Park because he was too busy. ■ The cuisine of Vientiane, the capital of Laos and the former royal capital, had a sophisticated taste. Certainly, Thai Ayutthaya and Cambodian Phnom Penh dishes seem to be mild. ■ Lunch is written in Thai. I chose "Quittio Nam" fish paste dumplings. The soup is based on chicken gala, which is common in Southeast Asia, and is accented with black pepper instead of chili pepper. I felt that the narrow Quitio was more like that of Cambodia than Isan on the opposite bank. ■ This time, the closing time is approaching, so I decided to eat in just 20 minutes. Next time, I'm going to a la carte, and I'm thinking of matching it with glutinous rice Kao Nyao. The herbs that I refrained from I feel like a progenitor.

A Lao restaurant that is rare in Japan. Like Thai food, it is spicy, uses plenty of herbs and herbs such as lemongrass, and eats glutinous rice. Stir-fried food is delicious like Chinese food, which is a good point of cooking in neighboring countries. Since it is a landlocked country, river fish and meat are the protein sources. There is no doubt that it will fit the Japanese taste.

2022.12.26 Lunch visit. We are open for lunch. It seems that only 6 pairs can be put in as a measure against corona. Free replacement of coffee and tea. I ate green and red curry. Is it the authentic taste? Other customers are asking for something other than curry. Let's eat that next time. For the time being, leave it at 3 stars.
