A New York Times reporter discovered the my favorite food find from my trip to Laos. Florence Fabricant (which seems to be an unfortunate name for a reporter seeking accuracy!) writes about kaipen in today’s Times.
I’m excited about the opportunity to try kaipen in New York, but I doubt it will never taste as good as it did that first night at the Cold River Guesthouse in Lunag Phabang where Elbert and I ate it freshly flash-fried with some sticky rice and a shot of lao-lao.
