Vientiane sometimes feels like a VERY small town. News travels quickly, and I’m guessing there are about 2 degrees of separation between each expat here. So when a Belgian restaurateur started driving to Thailand each weekend to buy mussels that he serves up nine different ways with a selection of imported beers, his Mekong-side café soon became a hot spot. Tony and I tried it out Saturday night. We ordered one batch of mussels “escargot style,” which means broiled with butter, garlic and breadcrumbs, and another batch in a white wine cream sauce. Accompanied by fries, a couple Hoegaarden beers, and a lively ambience, it was a delicious departure from the usual Lao fare.
The restaurant is called Chok Dee, which means “good luck” in Lao.
