He did have a couple of pretty serving girls though and they were o.k .
The day we were in town it was very quiet everywhere and we were the only diners.

The following night I went alone up the main drag and had an excellent Khao moo deng mixed with Khao na phet. Monster portion, very clean and very cheap. Same place does a good cheap breakfast baguette and coffee for about 40 baht.

He certainly does, ones his missus though, Some of those little sindad barbecue places on the river can be entertaining, beers invariably hot though

[Tom Sawyer]

Boring

So you've eaten there then ?

Maybe, I've been taken to many places like that. But not necessarily. I was responding to your photos. Nothing appealing there (to me).

[Tom Sawyer]

I do like the Lao fish soup - not so spicy like it is in Thailand. Goes good with rice on the side. The constant offerings of rice whiskey at lunch time just fucks me up though. I do recall having the best coconut juice (in a glass) at a laotian friend's house one morning given me by his wife. Delicious and will always remember it.

[peterpan]

May be its my advanced years, but I can't recall seeing any pokeable totty, now that my porking days are well past that's not surprising.
But I do not recall any recent memories, from Savan, but never the less, the interest should still be there considering my days of wine and roses are still within memory of a lifetime.
Maybe its being out in the jungles of outer issan, but even here, there are a couple of young ladies who live right opposite me, who I could easily ravage, given half a chance.

Actually the food in Vientiane is good, very good. There are some restaurants that would not be out of place in any capital western city.
Kop Jai Deu is ok as a people watching place and the music after 9.00 pm is not bad. The food is pretty average, though.
Nam Phou is a mess now that that damn Mix Bar has opened.

Agreed with you, a lot of decent food in Vientiane if you know where to look. Khop Chai Deu as you say is pretty average however as a business it does well so essentially there is no real reason to change.

Nam Phou again I agree with you, it has been ruined by the crappy mix bar and all the other monstrosities built around the fountain, I went once to Mix Bar for a friends birthday and found it was over priced!

Perhaps I should start a new thread of 'Places to go in Vientiane' If anyone would be interested?

would make an excellent thread - a few posters on this board who could give you a hand - beerlaodrinker and vientieneboy for starters

I 'll just pop over to your place for a beer or 2 if you don't mind

I think they'd need to be tied up and in possession of a bumper pack of Viagra for you to ravage them.

[Tom Sawyer]

Yes, ok well we've been asking for names of these places, but only generalities seem on offer. So what and where?

For one thousand baht each I'll bet they'd agree

Good idea, There seems to be new places to strap on a feed bag opening all the time, Ate in a place called Pimenton a couple of weeks ago which is a sort of spanish steak house, Excellent grub , reasonably priced and the waitresses were easy on the eye

OK will get on it after work.

I will make a list of places and PM You with it to add on to, if anyone else has any suggestions then please PM Me as of course we all like different places.

Will start a new thread as soon as the list is done.

[Marmite the Dog]

^ I do like the Full Moon Cafe.

I could sit there and eat all day (which I have).

[peterpan]

Have you stopped yet?

BLD's drinking gaff. I attend that place on a regular basis

[beerlaodrinker]

BLD,S drinking gaff = anywhere where the beers cold. Highland bar usually,

[Rupert Wanger]

You out this weekend mate?

[Marmite the Dog]

I'm disappointed in you BLD. You don't seriously associate yourself with Manc chavs do you?

[beerlaodrinker]

I'm disappointed in you BLD. You don't seriously associate yourself with Manc chavs do you

Not usually , no. Highlanders run by a scotsman, Still working this weekend and if its not raining and i dont get stuck in savannakhet then its of to vietnam for a relaxing lie down on a beach wednesday,

[Rupert Wanger]

^^Fuk you. When you visiting for a beer? Might be over in Udon in a couple of weeks so I'll try and catch ya for a bevvy.

[somnamna]

Pimenton is extremely overpriced. While the quality of the meat is good, there is NOTHING served with it. You need to buy sides of vegetables. The wine list, while interesting is too expensive, starting at 240,000K per bottle. When I nicely suggested they should get a decent house wine, the snooty nosed owner made a fatuous remark. The tables for 2 are far too small and the seating is uncomfortable. I will not be back in a hurry.
The best restaurant in town by a good way is La Scala, which would be an excellent restaurant in any city. It is head and shoulders above any other Italian restaurant in town. My staple place is Bistro 22, 22 Samsenthai Rd. Phillipe is a very good chef and the food is of good quality.

[beerlaodrinker]

^ Yep the La scala is hard to beat for great italian food, The weekday lunchtime buffet is probably the best buffet in town in terms of good quality food at a very reasonable price, Only been to Bistro 22 once and the food was excellent as well, he must be doing something right because if you drive past it at lunchtime its invariably chock a blok .
Now, where can i get a fuckin decent steak? Everything i get from the freezer in minimarts seems tasteless

[somnamna]

Bistro 22 has good steaks.
