| - You know those places that you visit, usually when you go see your relatives living someplace far away, and they have a restaurant or shop that you can't find back home?
Then when you are away, you dream about going back there some day....This is that kind of place for me, and that is why it's one of my first visits when I go to Madison.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of great Asian restaurants back in Houston, in fact, it has one of the largest Asian communities outside of the west coast so we got tons of awesome places that I can go to.
The unique quality of Lao Laan-Xang is that it has that subtle flavor profile that is indicative of food from Laos and Myramar (Burma) that it is kind of halfway between Asian and Indian food; so you can have the curries and some of the flavor profiles from India-Thailand, but if you are looking for the more traditional Asian-Chinese type of food, you can find this kind of dishes here too.
Including these dishes is essential to appeal to the All-American pallet in an 'ethnic joint' in a small city, but if you want to see where these guys shine with really unique stuff, stick to the original traditional dishes!
You will be back again, and again.
