I've had lunch at a riverside place in Vientiane, Laos while staring into Thailand over the Mekong River. I ordered a bottle of Beer Lao and Pad Ped. Laotian word "Pad" means stir-fried, "Ped" means spicy, so Pad Ped is kind of like a stir-fried something you'd like with red curry paste. Pad Ped can be served with many types of meat or fish or seafood and veggies. Red curry paste is the key to the taste. I wanted to take a nicer photo of a bottle of Beer Lao, Pad Ped, a view of Laos overlooking Thailand, but my photo couldn't get any better. I learned the hard way that you can't have it all.
