Lao Traditional Food
To honor the Lao Traditional Food Festival 2008 that is taking place at the Lao National Culture Hall in Vientiane today and tomorrow, I have selected a few photos to showcase Lao dishes that would be presented at the festival. This is the second Lao Traditional Food Festival and it is expected to be bigger and better than last year. There will be about 100 booths to showcase various dishes from all over the country with cooking demonstrations from cooks and chefs from the established restaurants and those that want a chance to show off their talents. Additional booths will also be set up to showcase Lao arts and crafts.
Even though we are here doing our things and not able to attend the festival I have asked my aunt in Vientiane to go take pictures for us. Check back in a couple of weeks for mouth watering photos from the Lao Traditional Food Festival 2008.
