very unusual food,Sour Swallow at Phonsavan,
where migratory swallows escaping winter from Russia
are caught and eaten.
A delicate bird trap for catching migratory swallows begining August and September,
manned by an operator who waits in the hut
for the unlucky bird which will normally land on the branch above
and the bird trapper will slowly open a piece of the 'attap' roof and
use a long pole laced with rubber gum at the end to immobilise
the swallow which will drop down in front of the hut
and further attracting more of its kind to come to its aid and
when there are enough, the trapper will close the nets which
are under tension on the left and right of the helpless swallow.
The canteen at Site 2,Plain of Jars.
Fried grasshoppers and maggots on the streets of Vientiane.
Barbecued banana.
These are dried and later made into chips.
Our usual meal daily,noodle soup and bread and fried eggs.
Laotian mixed rice.
All you can fill on a plate for 10,000 kip(RM5) at Luang Prabang night market.
This street is sort of a China Town of Vientiane.
A pancake stall in Phonsavan.
Powerful tonic brew of fermented bear paws and snakes at Luang Prabang.
Muslim food in Vientiane,quite rare considering that there are less than a thousand muslims
out of about 7 million in Laos,
please take note that most of the other food here are non halal.

Those are......exotic foods to say the least.
ada jugak halal food yee.. nice bro thomas
Interesting spread of food and being a typical Asian, I would love to indulge in esp for the exotic ones. When I was in Thailand, I did not have the guts to try the insects but am regretting now. I should have because thats the exposure and experiences of traveling. Indian food in Laos ah!! Its pretty normal these days to find all sort of food everyway. Suppose with globalisation, its not surprising anymore.
the bear paws does look scary in the bottle..so does most of the food. did you try any of those bro?
I never tried exotic food except the banana barbecue.
pisang panggang ada kat lahad datu...kalau tak silap orang sulu selalu jual...kat rumah selalu juga buat tp di tumbuk dulu bagi leper baru goreng...kat sabah guna pisang sanggar lagi sedap rasanya...
tgk ja pun dah geli geleman..
Apakah makanan itu halal :o

puteri,
i ate normal food over there
but i did taste a little of the swallow
and it tasted so awful that i have to wash my mouth a few times after that.
Yowanda,
Makanannya tidak halal,yg halal cuma di kedai2 seperti 2 gambar terakhir.
Truly exotic! I'll take the banana any time but I'll also give the maggot a try. Haha
The swallow looked so small..hardly any flesh kot?..so..were you daring enough to try the exotic food? :-)
Cheqna,
The travel was too hectic to indulge in exotic food,
i don't want an upset stomach to spoil my one week travel.
Heh!heh!
wah! thomas sudah sampai ke vietnam :) travel yang menarik, eksotiknya makanan mereka. Thomas makan sama juga ke? yang atas sekali itu gambar burung kan? pisang barbecued pernah rasa sedap bau dia wangi :)

Diari Si Froggie,
Laos tu,bukan Vietnam,makanan sana tak sama dgn tempat kita,
mostly yg tak halal tapi dihampir setiap bandar ada sebuah kedai india muslim dan yg tu burung walet.
Nard,
tak berani cuba,takut muntah.
oppss..kaki apa dalam botol tu?
kay,
kaki beruang,sudah hampir pupus.
