I was having sticky rice with steamed hot freshwater fish cooked in banana leaves at Tamarind Restaurant. I took the first bite and I closed my eyes. It was a moment to cherish, to feel!

The taste was similar yet distinctly different from what I usually have at home. Sticky rice is the soul of Lao cuisine, and it is related to community sentiment, as every village has its own rice field. And the fish was a game of perfect balance, and the spiciness was just right to titillate the taste buds, but not overpowering. 

Furthermore, as I explored the villages and went a little way away from the town center, I found food cooked in bamboo hollows. Another important aspect of Lao cuisine is the art of fermentation. 

From sun-dried fish and meat to fermented vegetables and salted lime, a Lunag Prabang food tour is an experience curated with love. Also, to cherish the authentic flavors of Laos, you have to try the street food here. It’s not Vietnamese, not Thai, but simply Laotian. 

I will talk about these street food delicacies shortly. However, before that, let’s find out what makes the food in Luang Prabang Special.

What Is The Best Street Food In Luang Prabang Laos

Have you tried something as “interesting” as a honeycomb cooked and charred in banana leaves? I have. And the smell of charcoal and honeycomb got blended with the whiff of lemongrass and grilled fish. 

This is what my senses caught first as the tuk-tuk dropped me at the morning market in Luang Prabang. Another thing I found special about the morning market was the presence of women in large numbers. Most vendors were women. 

I saw a lady whose face looked like a painting with all the creases, but her smile was all about silent resilience. I went to her stall and ordered a bowl of khao soi. It was bliss with the right amount of pork, herbs, and tomatoes. 

The sky was still pale pink, and I saw monks in saffron robes pass quietly collecting alms. My breakfast moment suddenly became about discovering everyday spirituality in the rhythm of food. I closely felt that breakfast is not just food for the people here, it’s about gratitude, humility, and connecting to the origin. 

Now, my stories of Luang Prabang will never end. It’s like the silent river that flows and does its magic by touching the lives on its route. So, let me share with you brief details about the best street food in Luang Prabang you cannot miss.

1. Khao Soi Luang Prabang

Khao Soi Luang Prabang

Everyone loves Khao Soi in Luang Prabang. This pork soup with fermented soy and tomatoes is the perfect breakfast delicacy here. 

2. Lao Sausage (Sai Oua)

Lao Sausage Sai Oua

It is a pork sausage delicacy. In these sausages, the pork meat is infused with lemongrass, galangal, and herbs. 

3. Sticky Rice (Khao Niew)

Sticky Rice Khao Niew

You cannot imagine a complete Lao meal without sticky rice. I love to have sticky rice with fish. 

4. Grilled Mekong Fish

In Luang Prabang, they use fresh riverwater fish to make this dish. They marinate the fish using local herbs and grill it on charcoal for a distinct flavor. 

But do you know why grilled fish in Luang Prabang tastes even better? Mr. Somchai, a Mekong fish griller, said, “We catch fish at dawn and grill them by sunset. No freezer, just fire.

5. Coconut Pancakes (Khanom Krok)

Coconut Pancakes Khanom Krok

The coconut pancakes are also the most unique in flavor. It has a crispy outer layer, which is complemented by the creaminess inside. 

These pancakes are served with spring onions. 

6. Papaya Salad (Tam Mak Hoong)

Papaya Salad Tam Mak Hoong

If you love the pungency of fermented fish, this crunchy salad will be your instant favorite. The raw papayas used in the salad give the dish the right crunch. 

Furthermore, the fermented fish sauce and the use of lemon add the right balance of flavors to the salad. 

7. Larb (Laap)

Larb Laap

Larb is a comfort food. It’s a salad with minced meat, lime, mint, and rice powder. It has the right balance of salty, sour, and spicy flavors. 

It is the national dish of Laos and a common staple in everyday food and festivals. 

8. Jaew Bong

Jaew Bong

Jaew Bong is more like a condiment or a side served with dishes like fried seaweed. It is a smoky chilli paste with strong flavors of garlic and buffalo skin. 

9. Fried Seaweed (Khai Paen)

Fried Seaweed Khai Paen

I liked the umami flavors of the fried seaweed or Khai Paen here. It was served with roasted sesame seeds, which added just the right amount of nutty balance to the dish. 

Also, the fried seaweed dish came with Jaew Bong.

10. Spring Rolls

Spring Rolls

Spring rolls are my favorite, and I love the ones with fish stuffing the most. So, at Luang Prabang, a hub of freshwater fish, I had to try these spring rolls. 

I had the fried ones with the vermicelli, giving the outer layer the right amount of crunch. 

11. Banana Roti

Banana Roti

Traditionally, a banana roti is a flatbread with banana slices and a condensed milk topping. The bread’s crispiness balances the banana filling’s moisture. 

The banana rotis are also served with chocolate syrup and sugar. I even tried the ones with an egg filling.

12. Grilled Chicken Skewers

Grilled Chicken Skewers

Now, the grilled chicken skewers here are different, mostly because of the prominent presence of lemongrass. And honestly, the amount of lemongrass used was a bit too much for my taste. 

However, it’s the way the locals love it. 

13. Lao Coffee

Lao coffee, for me, was like the desert I could have every day and not get bored with. It is rich and sweet as it uses condensed milk. 

However, the use of condensed milk does not overpower the strong aroma of coffee.

14. Fruit Shakes

A post shared by Escaping Abroad (@escapingabroad)

The food stalls in Luang Prabang have some amazing fruit shakes. I loved the dragon fruit shakes here the most. However, mango and pineapple shakes are also easily available. 

15. Rice Cakes With Coconut

If the morning market treated me with the best khao soi, the night market treated me with the best rice cakes with coconut. 

The Sun dipped, and the night market became alive with gold and red lanterns adorning the stalls. I could smell a mix of chili smoke, coconut milk, and sticky rice roasting on bamboo skewers.

At a stall, I was sitting on a wooden bench with the locals, and I was waiting for my vegetarian buffet with stir-fried greens, bamboo shoots, and pumpkin curry to be served. Suddenly, the lady vendor of the stall smiled and nodded, and handed me a few rice cakes with coconut. 

The dessert was as delightful as the night air in Luang Prabang, and despite many requests, the lady did not take any money for the rice cakes. Rather, we started having conversations and shared a laugh. Some soft Lao music was being played at a distance. So, my dinner moment at the night market became an act of bonding. 

Almost one year later, I read an article about the distinct nature of food in Laos in the South China Morning Post. I could relate to what Saeng Douangdara, a Lao-American chef based in Los Angeles, said, 

For Lao people, food holds a central place. It serves as a unifying force that brings people together.” 

Overall, I think the way people approach food here stems from the fact that it is a Buddhist land. It’s all about gratitude and mindful consumption. 

How To Take The Best Food Tours In Luang Prabang? (Some Ideas To Explore)

How To Take The Best Food Tours In Luang Prabang Some Ideas To Explore

My local guide and the tuk-tuk drivers completely curated my food exploration journey in Luang Prabang. I became friends with Seng, a local tuk-tuk driver. He said, 

The best food isn’t in restaurants—it’s in the alleyways. Follow the locals.” My morning food tour in Luang Prabang to the market became all the more special by participating in the alms-giving ceremony. 

You have to experience the profound meaning behind the restraint and silence of the entire experience to understand why it is spiritually elevating. Also, the night market has a charm of its own, and the morning and night markets both need to be explored on foot. 

However, if you want a more luxurious tour, you can opt for something like Marriott Bonvoy Tours and Activities. Professional food guides conduct these tours, and the tour includes more than 15 tastings. It is a movable tour with many spots around the Old City.

Furthermore, Asia Tours conducts a food tour in Luang Prabang with organic farm visits and learning to cook from a local chef. Also, Thrillophilia conducts a tour with a street food walk, cultural storytelling, and exploring vegetarian-friendly options.

6 Reasons Parents Should Explore The World With Their Kids

BY  Ankita Jan 5, 2024

For parents, the opportunity to explore the world with their children is invaluable. Not only does it open the door to new experiences for the kids, but it also offers a chance for the family to grow closer together. Family-friendly destinations like Pigeon Forge, TN, are perfect examples of places that cater to the interests and needs of both children and adults. These locations provide a diverse range of activities and experiences that can enrich a family vacation, making every moment memorable. In this article, we will delve into six reasons why parents should consider traveling the world with their kids. Diverse Experiences  When speaking of diverse experiences, Pigeon Forge is definitely going to top the list. Pigeon Forge, TN, is home to The Island, an entertainment complex that epitomizes the kind of diverse experience ideal for family travel. This location is more than an entertainment center; it's the ultimate attraction offering fun and learning. With an array of shops, restaurants, and attractions like The Great Smoky Mountain Wheel, The Island offers something for everyone in the family. The variety of experiences available at The Island means that parents and children can enjoy a range of activities together. From exploring unique shops to dining at family-friendly restaurants, and from enjoying the spectacular views from the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel to staying at the on-site hotel, the experiences are tailored to create lasting memories. The Island’s mix of attractions ensures that every family member’s interests are catered to, making it an enjoyable part of any visit to Pigeon Forge. Such destinations showcase how travel can be both entertaining and educational for children as they learn through engaging and interactive experiences. Given the popularity of family-friendly attractions like The Island Pigeon Forge sees an influx of vacationers every year. Educational Opportunities Traveling provides children with invaluable educational opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. As families explore new places, children are exposed to different cultures, languages, and historical contexts. This exposure is not only educational but also eye-opening, providing real-life context to lessons learned in school. For instance, visiting historical sites offers a tangible connection to history, making it more relatable and interesting for kids. Encountering different cultures fosters a sense of global awareness and understanding, teaching children about diversity and tolerance. Participating in language exchanges or trying new foods can also be fun, interactive ways to learn. These experiences contribute to a well-rounded education, where children learn about the world in an immersive and interactive way. Building Stronger Family Bonds Traveling together as a family is an excellent way to strengthen family bonds. Shared experiences, whether the excitement of exploring new destinations or overcoming the challenges of travel, bring families closer together. These shared memories become a foundation for stronger relationships. Activities that encourage teamwork, like hiking or navigating a new city, enhance family bonds. Children and parents learn to rely on and support each other in different situations. Involving children in travel planning also increases their sense of involvement and investment in the trip. They feel valued and heard, which is important for their self-esteem and the overall family dynamic. Family vacations are not only fun; they are an opportunity for deeper connection and understanding among family members. Developing Adaptability And Resilience In Kids Traveling is an excellent way for children to develop adaptability and resilience. When families explore new environments, children learn to adapt to different situations, whether it's navigating a new city, trying unfamiliar foods, or interacting with people from diverse backgrounds. These experiences teach kids flexibility and problem-solving skills as they learn to handle unexpected challenges and changes in plans. The ability to adapt and bounce back from difficult situations is a crucial life skill. Travel exposes children to minor setbacks or changes, like delayed flights or weather changes, in a safe and controlled environment. Handling these situations helps children build resilience, equipping them with the ability to cope with bigger challenges in life. Moreover, overcoming these obstacles can boost their confidence and self-esteem, making them more willing to take on new challenges in the future. Encouraging Curiosity And Creativity Traveling with kids can significantly boost their curiosity and creativity. Being in a new place with different sights, sounds, and smells stimulates children’s senses and piques their curiosity. This natural curiosity can lead to a deeper interest in learning about the world around them. Different travel experiences, whether visiting museums or exploring natural landscapes, provide opportunities for creative thinking. Children are inspired to think outside the box and view the world from different perspectives. This exposure can lead to creative problem-solving and innovation. Additionally, these experiences can ignite a passion for new hobbies or interests, such as photography, art, or history, further enriching their lives. Promoting Physical Activity And Health Travel often involves a variety of physical activities that can be beneficial for both children and adults. Activities like hiking, swimming, or simply exploring a city on foot encourage physical movement, which is essential for maintaining good health. For children, engaging in physical activities while traveling can instill a lifelong appreciation for exercise and an active lifestyle. Outdoor activities, in particular, have numerous health benefits. They provide fresh air, help in vitamin D absorption, and reduce stress and anxiety. These activities also present an opportunity for families to spend quality time together, away from the distractions of technology and daily routines. Encouraging an active lifestyle through travel not only promotes physical health but also contributes to mental well-being. Conclusion It's time to explore the world with your kids, as it offers far more than just a break from the routine. It's an enriching experience that contributes significantly to their development and strengthens family bonds. From developing adaptability and resilience to fostering curiosity and creativity and promoting physical activity and health, the benefits of traveling with children are immense. These experiences not only create lasting memories but also lay a strong foundation for a well-rounded, healthy, and fulfilling life. As parents, taking the opportunity to travel with your kids is one of the greatest gifts you can give them – a world of learning, discovery, and togetherness.

Welcome To The Pecos National Historical Park: The Land Of The First American Revolution

BY  Sibashree Sep 12, 2024

I stood before the remnants of the South Pueblo walls, looking over the Mission Church on an autumn day last year. Looking at the archaeological site and standing below the blue fall sky, I was transported to the time of the American Revolution.  Further, I could hear the noise of a bustling trade fair with people from the Pecos Pueblo community doing business. However, the historical importance of the park is much beyond its association with the American Revolution. It is also related to the Civil War in New Mexico and the Independence of Mexico.  So, with centuries of human history etched in every corner, the Pecos National Historical Park is an intersection of past tales and nature. To be honest, The Pecos Pueblo and Santa Fe Trail were the biggest highlights for me when I was at the national park.  Therefore, my ode to the park will start with brief accounts of these places. Then, I will talk about the Glorieta Pass, again a site of historical importance in the park. Finally, you will have a quick look at the park's wildlife.  Pecos National Historical Park: A Land Of Historic Wars And Revolutions  The history of human lives in the Pecos National Historical Park goes back to the Preceramic Period or the 11,500 B.C.E. - 600 C.E. However, the Pecos Pueblo site in the park became a prominent place in the history of the American Revolution in the Early Colonial and Pre-Revolt era.  Spanish people started interacting with the Pueblo people. Further, thanks to the Franciscan Missions, the Spanish rule wanted to have command over the economic life and beliefs of the Pueblo people.  Thus, the first seeds of the American Revolution were sown. To combat the oppression of the Spanish people, the Pueblo Revolt took place on 10th August 1680. As a result, the Spanish Government and Franciscan Friars were expelled from the southwest under the leadership of  Po’pay from Ohkay Owengeh. The Spanish Mission Church, built in 1625, was also destroyed in the revolt of 1680.  However, in 1692, the Spanish People further reclaimed the Pecos Pueblo and many other pueblos. Finally, the Pueblo people declined in numbers in 1700. Before, during, and after the first American Revolution, The Pecos Pueblo emerged as an important location with significant events around it!  Further, around 200 years later (1821-1846 C.E.), another site in the park, the  Santa Fe Trail, witnessed travelers, settlers, and everyone else passing through it. The trail was opened in 1821 after Mexico gained its independence from Spain.  The remains of Pecos Pueblo stood there! By the 1830s, the migration of the Pubelo people was complete, and everyone had shifted to the Pueblo of Jemez and continued their traditions.  Moreover, in 1862, there was the “Battle of Glorieta Pass.” On 26th March 1862, this battle between the Union forces and Confederates occurred at a 700 feet elevation.  The Pecos Pueblo Site Today  https://www.instagram.com/p/Cto5MWnS5Oa/ The rise of the Pecos Pueblo site occurred between 1350 C.E. and 1838 C.E. The Pueblo site had two units, the north and south, and could accommodate around 2000 people. Further, it had 1000 rooms. Therefore, Pecos Pueblo thrived as a busy trading center with trade fairs involving people from Rio Grande Pueblos, Plains Nations, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Pacific Coast. The flint arrowheads and shells found here explain the expansive stretch of the route.  Nevertheless, with time, Pecos Pueblo became instrumental in eliminating Spanish oppression and rule. Still, a drop in the trade, Comanche attacks, and diseases deserted Pecos Pueblo. By 1838 C.E., the last resident of the Pueblo had left and joined the Pueblo of Jemez.  Today, the site stands as a relic from the past. However, it is still equally important for archaeologists and historians.  The Santa Fe Trail  Do you know what the Santa Fe Trail marker near Kozlowski's Trading Post says? It says,  Santa Fe Trail 1822-1879 Marked by the daughters of the American Revolution and the Territory of Nex Mexico.  With the independence of New Mexico and the western territories becoming an annexure to New Mexico, the Santa Fe Trail became the route or passage to the westward movement. Naturalists, journalists, travelers, aspirants, traders, and others took this passage as part of the American expansion. Colonel Henry Inman’s “Stories of the Old Santa Fe Trail,” published in 1881, describes the trail well. If you are a history buff, you must read this book well before visiting the Santa Fe Trail today!  “Kozlowski’s Stage Stop and Trading Post” is the highlight of this trail. You can spend some time here to visualize travelers from the past catching some rest after a long journey through the trail. When on the trail, you can explore the remains of the Pueblo and the Mission Church. You can even consider taking a guided tour of the Forked Lightning Ranch.  Glorieta Pass Battlefield Trail  https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xRKctnb3M/ Important Details About the Glorieta Pass Battle1. Reason for Conflict: Union forces and Confederates wanted to control the Glorieta Pass Route through the Sangre de Cristo mountains and the main supply center (Fort Union) for the passage of soldiers and supplies. 2. Contenders: The Confederates, with volunteers from Texas and under the leadership of General Shipley and the Union forces led by Colonel Canby, and soldiers from Fort Union, New Mexico, and Colorado. 3. Battle Begins: March 26, 18624. Reinforcements: 27th March, 18625. Battle Resumes: 28th March, 18626. Battle Ends: 29th March, 18627. Casualty: Death of 375 People 8. Consequence: The Union forces defeat the Confederates as they fail to ruin the Fort Union. Further, the Union forces maintain complete control over Southwest America.  The Glorieta Battlefield Trail is a popular hiking destination today in Pecos National Historical Park. It is a roundtrip loop, and you will have to cover a distance of 2.25 miles to complete your expedition. Further, the unpaved or graveled hiking route makes it moderately difficult for the hikers. In addition, there is an elevation gain of 152 meters.  You have to drive for around 7.5 miles from the main visitor center of the park. You will need to collect a gate code from the visitor center, which is your access code, to open the locked gate in front of the trail.  As you walk through the forest trail, you get to know more about the Civil War in New Mexico. Many infographics are installed throughout the trail, telling you tales from the past. In addition, there are wayside signs and 14 trail markers to explain the history of the battle on this pass in detail.  More About Hiking The Glorieta Pass Battlefield Trail  Time: Around 1 hour Refreshments (Hikers’ Favorites): Pecos Burger at El Maria Bonita (With a lot of meat and a smoky green chilly flavor!) and Chips and Salsa, of course! The Trail Guide you collect from the visitor center already keeps you hooked on the site's history. Indeed, this trail is less about hiking and more about flipping through the pages of the American Civil War in Mexico.  Let’s Hear It From Other Visitors To The Park  “Really nice park. Easy to find and it is free! Inside the visitor center, they had a really great exhibit that followed the pecos overtime. It was super informative and brought a lot more meaning to the actual park. After looking around the exhibit, you can take the trail up and around the park and church. It's amazing that the walls are still there. The view around the park is also beautiful. We spent about 2 hours here.” - Isabelle M. “I really enjoyed this park. My husband didn't care for it but I think it's really amazing what is still here. He thinks it's all recreation and I can't say if it is or not but I know the current Pecos people don't see it that way. It's pretty awesome that it's free to visit and the visitors center has a little museum that's also free! The trail starts near the restrooms. We accidentally started it from the end. But who cares. We saw everything and I recommend checking it out. Native people history is really cool.” - Lydia G. Exploring Wildlife At The Pecos National Historical Park https://www.instagram.com/p/CA-hAl8nrUW/ This historical national park is a hub of wildlife with a 6,500-acre expansion of forests, rivers, grasslands, and streams.
