This eatery does north-east Thai food, which is quite similar to Lao food. I was very keen to try this place and I was very happy with it. They made a variation on some of the dishes, but not too much. I just loved the sitting outdoors on a large table, and despite a queue at some time, they never did hurry us. This allowed me to talk about travelling to Laos, as my friends are going there, while eating Lao food.
* The pork rib soup was very delicious - highly recommended
* The eggplant dip was good too, the blanched side vegetables made the dish which I miss so much. I prefer the char-grilled eggplants of Laos though, and am not sure whether they steam it in Thailand.
* I loved the deep fried snapper, a variation of the salted, grilled river fish you can get on the side of the street in Laos.
* Papaya salad was great - my friends said it was the hottest thing they'd ever eaten, and it was hot, but it didn't make me cry =)
* The fried pork and beef was pretty good
* The chicken curry in a steamed parcel was interesting - it was quite good and I'd never had something exactly like it.
I think this is a meal I will remember. This together with sticky rice came to $20 per person. I'll definitely be back as there are heaps of things I want to try. Actually, I want to try everything on the menu! It did remind me of Laos and north-east Thailand.
