Internships at Laocook
Its that time of year again, when we are looking for Interns to be a part of our team during the summer.
We all know that Darly makes a mean “Tum” and that Ginger has a deft hand at “Rolls”, so I expect to see you both applying.
I think that Internships are good, it [...]
China Moves in to Laid-back Laos (BBC)
It is not everyday that I see Laos mentioned on the BBC.
This article makes interesting reading.
A fast-growing Chinese presence is one of the most striking features in Laos these days.
Beijing has been pouring billions of dollars in investment and development aid into the landlocked country, once consigned to the backyard of the Soviet bloc.
Yet it [...]
Chinatown and Water Park, Vientiane.
This article starts with;
“The Lao government has denied rumours that a huge property development project on the outskirts of Vientiane will become a sprawling Chinatown, home to 50,000 Chinese families, government sources said Tuesday…..”

Toilet Talk
Okay, its somewhere where everyone goes daily, so as a part of our daily lives, it is an important place.

Last night I came across something wonderful by London based photographer/artist Carl [...]
Laos: November 2007
“I love the smell of napalm in the morning.”
Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore, Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now.
Okay, wrong country, wrong quote. It should be…
“I love the smell of Pho in the morning”…
Yes, I am on my way to Laos in November, and as always, I would love to meet up with anyone who will be [...]
(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?
I am not a “Morning” kinda person. Perhaps it is because I sleep so late, or perhaps because mornings are followed by hangovers.
I live next door to a Bakery, which is just ironic, seeing as I work and live more or less in the same food industry business. I finish work when most [...]
LCTV Som Moo. Is it Lao, Viet or Salami?
(Not content with our first piece of blantant publicity. )
Som Moo is the recipe that we get asked most for, so in good old LC fashion, we upped a Video, sharing our version of this wonderful snack/dish.
Hopefully, you will find the video easy to follow and recognise someone special at the beginning and [...]
