"The meals are excellent! Try the local speciality khaiphaen: fried veggies from the river, served with herbs, sesame seeds & crispy tofu."
"Something I imagine replacing popcorn with at the cinema. They’re savoury, flaky and addictive."
"Try the kai paen (flash-fried Mekong river weed)."
"Don’t forget a dish of Luang Prabang’s own algae-plant kaipen to munch on while you wait."
