@14:12 I think it called Pennyworth drink. Very Popular among Vietnamese search it up.
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 so much!❤️
Papaya salad looks so good but the pho noodle is not look to me. Pho noodle in America tast better
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 love Lao papaya salad. The food looks good.
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! 😊
Hi again friends long time no see 🤗🤗 Just been to Vietnam and Laos is next on my list, it's like we think alike 😂😂
Hi 🤗 Nice! Great minds think alike 😂 We highly recommend Laos - great prices and food
laos so nice people
yummy
Wow! Vientiane stree food looks so delilicious!🤗
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
@@twobetweenPapaya salad without or little pepper is not really papaya salad
Yes
I love tum mak hong (papaya salad)
Love me some papaya salad Lao style with salted crabs 🦀
Lol!! Papaya salads are always popular in Thailand and Laos, but you have to get used to the fermented fish sauce.
Omg everything looks so delish. I’m happy y’all enjoy our food. One day gotta go. ❤
We highly recommend! You should definitely visit if you get a chance
Welcome to laos ❤
Next time i wait you both vlog video travel im america 😊😊😊
Wow.. one of my bucket lists. Thank you
We definitely recommend!
Lao people welcome you. Thank you for visiting Laos.❤❤
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😅
Awesome... Have not been there 5 years now...
Hi my new friend ❤
I love street food 😋 yummy 😋
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.
I will be there next year ! Can’t wait to enjoy the food 😅 milk tea and noodles every day.
Thank you for visit Laos Love the video.
Thank you for watching 😊
Love that khao poon dish ❤👍
Welcome to laos🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦
I admire y'all's adventurism and bravery.
Wow so good
The noodle dish is called Mee ka tee
You make me hungry. Look yummy!..
I am glad that you visited Laos
You two look beautiful together!
🎉
Papaya salad is a staple / comfort food for every Lao household. Usually paired with protein. I.e; grilled chicken or beef skewers.
Hi n8ce video
Haha, loved the lip sync bit

The green juice that you drink they call pennywart leaves
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.
Oooh thank you~ It was pretty tasty!
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.
Mee Ka Thee 👍👍
Yor Juen
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Welcome to Laos!
Thank you!
welcome to lao❤❤❤
That Green Drink what you have , that was Centella asiatica or water Pennywort leaf Juice or Lao people call Nam Pak nork
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!
👍😘😘
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!
Go girl! You brave to eat blood cake 😅
The green drink is pennyworth
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!
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..😊
First dish you ate is khaopoon. Red curry, vermicelli with blood cake.
Their not in vietnam so spring rolls are eaten all over Southeast Asia
Yes, love people also do this the same
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.
You guys had kapoon, laksa, or mee ga tee looking dish which are my favorite
We loved it too! So tasty 😋
Any problems with the ice in the drinks? Are they made with purified water?
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!
Man papaya salad are the best
ສະບາຍດີ
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.
Laos 😊❤❤
Affordable to eat
When did you vlog this video???
Early 2023
How is it to eat lao food?
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! 😊
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.
INDO-CHINA, VIETNAM, LAOS & CAMBODIA
green drink is pennywort drink
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 😊
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
She try some of the Lao WOW sauce and got lost in Laos 😂
Did you get sick after eating this?

fc laos
😢. 😅
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.
@@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.
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
Haha we tried papaya salads like 3 or 4 times here but each time was the same result 😅 maybe one day we'll have to try again!
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
I like when I see beautiful white girls just in general dating Asian men because we’ve come a long way!
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
Vieng jun…..
1 ASEAN
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
Papaya salad with no chili🌶️ nooooooooo…..you need chilies it’s better 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 🤣🤣🤣
Are you sure you can eat spicy 🌶️ foods
Sarah loves to but not Seunghyun 😅
@@twobetween 😝
That’s pork blood .
If someone starts boycotting adult comics, illustrated novels, or games that feature girls from the eastern Balkans, we'll want to support the companies that make those products.
There foods are sooo nasty and sooo dirty in that country of laos I hope y'all didn't get sick after eating all of those left over foods from last week
Where did these 2 come from, even usa has all these foods available. Papaya salad?! Really 🙄
We're from Korea and the USA. It's funny to us that you think most of these foods are commonly available around the US, especially Laos-style papaya salad.. Thai-style is, but not Laos-style. We got a good kick out of that 😂
Foods in Laos are more expensive than Thailand because the country is so poor that’s why.
The fermented fish sauce is use in many Laotian dishes called padek. I love it but it is very pungent and is an acquired taste like durian. You can tell them to make it very little padek or none at all then it would be more to your liking and not so overpowering.
Padaek or padek (Lao: ປາແດກ) is a traditional Lao condiment made from pickled or fermented fish that has been cured. It often contains chunks of fish, and is thicker, as well as more seasoned than fish sauce. The fermentation takes a long time, giving padaek an aroma similar to cheeses like Époisses.[citation needed] Unlike other versions of fish sauce in Southeast Asia, padaek is made from freshwater fish, owing to the landlocked nature of the former kingdom of Lan Xang. Padaek is used in many Lao dishes, most notably tam maak hoong aka papaya salad.

Thank you for the info! We'll have to ask for less padek next time we visit since we really enjoy papaya salad when it's less strong. It's funny you mention durian since we used to dislike it too but now love it, so maybe padek will grow on us too 😊
Do they really understand English in that part of town?
