hi my name is Josie and I'm in Vientiane Lao right behind me is one of the most popular meat markets
here we have gone to crazier markets but this one is local just the way we like it we have noticed
that this is one of the most affordable places we have gone in Southeast Asia so far so let's
see just how much food we can get for a hundred thousand Lao kip let's go [Applause] [Music]
this is my first sort of Market or anything in Lao and I'm actually really excited to see
the difference because we're so close to Thailand and because we spent like seven
months in Thailand I'm really excited to see the difference as to what's here
and what's there right here I see a like a skewer kind of thing I'm not sure if it's
pork or chicken but they've got pineapple on it and I love pineapple oh and a puppy
how much
66 000 for one yeah
everywhere I go I learn not spicy
okay I guess we have a pork stick just looks like a skewer at home you'd honestly have
this at an Aussie barbecue almost like it looks really good you've got pineapple on some of them
one of them doesn't have it so this is mine hopefully the pineapple yeah I don't know it
looks like pineapple you have tomato and some more zucchini no zucchini zucchini zucchini on the top
I have a good grilled vegetable is that crispy even when like you grill vegetables in it like
soggy oh it's actually so good okay this is a great stop that is absolutely delicious no
gritty bits I can't wait to get this pineapple pot this is this is a great start thoroughly impressed
mmm that's really good all right let me try it no okay I've got a little bit of
I got a bit of spice on the end that last cucumber like capsicum at the bottom was so spicy oh my God
you know it sip life Supply well sep is actually delicious and Supply is like
very delicious oh I was so good the chocolate flour when you ate the chili right no it was
Cat Skin there's no capsicum it's like a jalapeno I think are you serious it's
got chili seeds in it so no capsicum have seeds on the inside did you hear that maybe
[Music]
okay so that's fifty thousand for one I can't afford that in my budget they're a
pork yeah yeah okay I feel like we have to try that though yeah
should we get it yeah all right can we just get one is that our
cup day
lag on lagon
okay I heard that completely wrong it was actually 15. someone to me said uh 30
000 today and it was like 13 or something as well okay all right so I thought it was 50
000. it was 15 000. okay us messing up the numbers okay so that fits into our budget much easier so
we've spent 15 on that and 12 on the two skewers at the start I thought we'd have spent 50k 50
000 Kip in one go so this is actually a pork jerky there's a buffalo version of it but we
didn't see that we asked and she just said pork I'm actually not sure of the Lao name for this
so tell me in the comments below kind of does look like beef jerky just like a big square
like slab of It kind of thing it doesn't really smell like anything oh oh it's really easy like
fragile it's too thin to be jerky this kind of just snaps off like a chip maybe it's actually
super tasty very very very popular yum yeah that's really good yeah I'm gonna have this as a snack
guys I'm like I'm like super impressed both of those things were really good what was
your favorite so far the jerky stuff uh I like the skewer they are so nice
Okay this is awesome there's bikes there's people on bikes obviously local people driving up and
down their space and then picking up fruit on their bike and then driving off it's like
a drive-through local people are just picking up their dinner it's no seriously it's a drive
through here but I'll look right there so I just drive up on bikes right up to the counter I think
I've noticed which would be totally Josie if you just lived here there's been some people sort of
like slowly riding just looking at all the food being like what do I want what do I want what
do I want that's what that's me because I can never decide so buddy ready what's what's that
uh chicken no pork pork pork whoa come here
this one is that okay foreign
what are these rice or rice and and this oh eggs oh how much yeah
hey little man I haven't seen a frog yet oh he's coming I don't normally like this kind
of thing but honestly this looks really good like I don't like so much fat and things on my
meat but this smells so delicious Char grilled honey or something like a oh I just got on my
nose but it just smells really really gold damn good all right let's try pretty good pretty good
I like that a lot more than I thought I would wow okay I wasn't actually expecting that well
that was like a surprising surprisingly up there for me I've been really impressed this is a tiny
marker you like it I'm just loves doing this okay so this one's the rice ball that's like dipped or
covered in like egg oh this one definitely wasn't my favorite of the night but I think this is so
cute because the Lao people call themselves or refer to themselves as the look cow meow
which means like the descendants of children of sticky rice or something descendants of
children of sticky rice so that's why sticky rice is everywhere here and I think that is the cutest
thing ever so that market isn't massive it's actually quite I mean it's kind of big but it's
small it's just that road down there so there's not that much there so we're gonna walk past this
back to the part where there's a couple moths like Market stalls streets on the side of this road so
we're just gonna head down there but this is one of our last night's in uh vientian we're actually
hanging heading we're actually heading to being bien bieng the names are confusing me and then
we're heading to Along prabang on a little road trip as well so if you have any suggestions for
those cities let me know tell me what I have to eat tell me what I have to do there in the
comments below let's head to this Market down this street guys I'm getting eaten alive by mosquitoes
so as you can see it's a little bit more lively down this street
hey there's like these little folded pancakes that we've seen in Thailand before many times
so Bao buns so let's find something else to eat but there's just a lot more to choose from here
like a lot more like all on this side of the road now too all down there way more touristy
oh God okay so there is so much more to choose from here and there's a lot
more tourist things so more like what you would see at almost every Market
I reckon in Thailand or southeast Asia I kind of want an orange juice
how much is that okay [Music] okay
thank you oh it's so cute yeah it's like a tiny glass of um like plastic thing of
orange juice it's super cold ice cold grab it straight out of the ice so this is going
to be super refreshing oh that's good it tastes like an actual orange you know how you can get
orange juice it tastes like syrup it's so good I like it it's a buddy do you have Milos Milo wow
no okay thank you cup Jay okay so if you don't know
I became obsessed with Milo in Thailand so buddy
so the closest thing to Milo we could find is Coco and this one's 21k so that's going to take a lot
of our budget because right now we've got so much food but not a lot of money which is awesome hi
Coco yes we have our one yes song I think about right and medium and yeah oh light medium dark
uh medium okay it's known one no one or song no no no sorry no one what how do I say one in loud
thank you okay
really what's it mean really oh please speak louder like Supply okay yummy yummy
that looks really good where are you from Australia oh yeah thank you
thank you thank you okay so this is interesting because this is the most
expensive thing we've bought all night and it's a drink oh I'm glad I didn't get dark
it's so strong very Coakley obviously but Milo is more like multi like malt
chocolate this is full on chocolate chocolate like you're eating a dark chocolate Square
so we have 30 000 loud Kip left and I am now on the taste for dessert that was so
sweet we see a roti house over there I have to I have to let's go buddy
hello can we get the egg banana and chocolate thank you this one
thank you
I hear a doggy smells like that like chocolate syrupy stuff that Hershey's syrup I will
say it's not the best Rodeo I've ever had getting like bites of that banana in there
mixed with our sweetened and smell oh silk condensed milky it's the most touristy thing
in the tourist Market but there's a reason why they're in every single Market in Asia because
it's like the ultimate comfort food okay well this is a first we have never left a Street
Market challenge with money left over ever so that just goes to show you how affordable Lau is so
grateful to be here in Laos Marco doesn't know I'm about to ask him this but quick fire what was your
favorite oh God uh the cocoa actually the cocoa I love it I loved the skewers oh the porks the pork
Stewarts yeah yeah I like the first skewers we had with the pineapple and everything like that oh
delish oh it's Peach black dog so that means we spent 85 000 kit for two people to have basically
entrees dinner and dessert you can't complain so it is a Saturday night here in vientia and
all restaurant get run over as well it is the you're pushing me to the bushes I don't
want to get hit by a car now we were just wondering what we're gonna do with this 15
000 because we wanted to spend the full 100 000 Kip right so we're gonna go to this lady we bought
some drinks for her the other day and she was lovely so let's go give her some change [Music]
