As promised, here are some pictures from out Laotian night. This, along with Laduree is my #1 stop when I come to Paris.Located in the 13th arr., this Thai-Laotian join is a popular spot for locals, up to the point that arriving after 8PM automatically means standing in line for a while.
I was introduced to this restaurant a few years ago by David Lebowitz , we met there for dinner with some friends. David suggested a bunch of different dishes, but I remember him ordering the crunchy rice salad. This particular dish comes with leaves that range from lettuce to mint served on the side.
Since then, I have been a regular of this restaurant. I have taken my mom and dad, Mr. R, Katie, and anyone else who was in town and up for some good Asian food.
I went back not long ago, and along with the crunchy rice salad, I tried a delicious spicy basil duck dish and a chicken- coconut soup. Everything was delicious!
