I've been struggling with some countries, one of which is Laos. However a colleague let me know about some food called laab which is eaten in Laos. He even made some and brought it into the office and it was very tasty. It's a kind of ground sour and spicy meat dish.
So, laab take 1 was at Hawksmoor near Brick Lane. They serve it on their bar menu. Unfortunately their bar is only open in evenings and I went during the day.
Laab take 2 was the Pitt Co. food truck under Hungerford Bridge. Unfortunately they'd just run out when we arrived.
Laab take 3 was at Pitt Co's permanent restaurant in Soho. We finally sat down only for the waitress to say they were all out of laab!
We had a very tasty southern US barbeque style pulled pork and 'slaw instead.
Pitt Co's restaurant is very small but the service is fast and the food tasty.
Laab 4 was another trip to Pitt Co's van, only to find they didn't have any laab that day. Since I've tried 4 times to visit Laos I am going to add it to my blog, because I am annoyed.
