Oh mine, I’m allergic to Padek, after eating this I might turn into a puffer fish. Lol.

When I saw the video I was like freaking out at first. It reminded me of the first time in Vientiane when my great-grandparents from Ban Keun gave us two jars of homemade padek. I must have been like in the fourth grade and my mother told me to go get some padek. I opened the hai heen and scooped one big ladle of padek for my mother, there were norn moving around, I was freaking out and ran away lol.

I was not afraid of worms and would dig them as bait for fishing but I was afraid of these white little things.

Nice Vid. I smiled when the Thai guy said something along the lines of “When in Laos you need to have “Jai Yen” (be cool)”.

I rememeber biting in to an Aubergene once and discovering norn iun them, I freaked, but my mother said that the best Padek have them too. I didnt believe her, as I have never seen it, until I watched the vid….
