This was a delightful place to have a cozy dinner on an extremely cold night. The atmosphere is actually kind of romantic, which I wasn't expecting when I saw it from the outside (it's such a teeny hole in the wall that I thought it would be more dive-y than it was).
I came here at the insistence of my boyfriend, even though I'd heard many good things about the food from various sources. The boy and I first bonded over our love of Curry Squash (aww.. ?) and he said that Lao Laan-Xang had the best in the city. That is a bold statement. :) We started out with a *spectacular* Tom Yum Kung soup for two. It comes in a neat, self-heating contraption and you ladle it out yourself. There was *way* more than two people needed, which was awesome considering how delicious it was. We both got Curry Squash, unsurprisingly. I really liked it, but can't say that it was definitively the best Curry Squash I've ever had. It was different, though. Less fatty, maybe? Either way, I was satisfied.
