We had Laos BBQ last night. Originally, we walked by the place because I wasn't sure we should stop there. There were no customers and a little of my fear of the unknown has come back. Finally, we decided to head back and chck it out. Lucky for us that we did. It turns out that this place is where the locals eat, and for good reason.Each table has a large hole in the center. After ordering the beef special, they brought out a bucket full of charcoal and set it in the middle of the table. We had a metal lid with holes, a bucket of broth, a platter of thin-sliced beef, a basket of vegetables (cabbage, green onion, something that looked like river reeds, and glass noodles), a sweet sauce, garlic, and green chilies. We coated the top of the metal lid with beef fat, then cooked the meat slices on it. The bottom of the lid was for broth, which cooks the vegables. It was the best meal we've had yet on our trip...I want to go back tonight for more.

What was that purple pasty stuff to the right ont he pic? Looks very delicious ;x
That looks fabulous!
Mmm, hot pot. There are a few Chinese style hot pot places in Seattle. Usually not so good.
Depending on who you talk to, seen daad is either Mongolian or Korean bar-be-que. There's also seen jum where you boil the meat in broth with vegetables and vermicelli noodles. The best thing in my book is the peanut sauce that goes along with it. And the BeerLao, of course.
The purple pasty stuff was a sweet sauce. Not sure what it was exactly. The BBQ place was called Laos BBQ, not sure if it was authentic or not but very tasty.
