| - YELP 365 CHALLENGE 2014-(340/365) "The Little Laotian Mom & Pop Shop"
I've always wanted to come here to pop in and have a looksee, and the perfect time came after our breakfast at The 50's Diner (Same Strip Mall). This is your smaller mom and pop type operation with not the hugest selection, but sufficient from cookware, to oodles of noodles, bottles of beverages, tons of tapioca cans of condiments and much much more.
Some of the more unique items I came across is there pickled items-young grapes, gooseberries, tamarind leaves, but sadly, no pickled tea leaves which I was hoping to find so I could duplicate the Burmese Pickled Tea Leaf Salad, a dish which has been MIA for the last couple of years at the Chaiya Monastery Food Fair(Those who know about this tasty dish know what I'm talking about.) Unfortunately this item cannot be found in Vegas (yet.) I did however grab a bag of black sesame seeds for just $1.99 which will come in handy for Black Sesame Creme Brulee, Sesame Toffee, and Black Sesame Ice Cream if and when I get an ice cream maker!
There is also a table with grab and go prepared foods which I spied Sakoo (Steamed Tapioca Dumplings) and other tasty stuff too. I also learned that there is a third kind of taco, a Laotian coconut dessert... LAM also carries some fresh produce and also have a hot food station where you can order off the menu and sit down and dine in. Not too familiar with Laotian food, I'll just refer to fellow Yelpers Christopher S. and Debra W.'s
reviews and pictures before I decide to dine in. Plastic is accepted with a $15 dollar minimum, otherwise you get charged a buckaroo for it. ALOHA!!!
