Trip to the Huang Market

Unfortunately I was unable to make it to this trip but I did get some goodies. Laos used to be a French colony. Because of this there are still a lot of things written in French and of course, MANY French influenced items in stores, restaurants, there are also French bakeries and restaurants on nearly every corner. The bread here is phenomenal! This bread that I got was a slightly sweet croissant coated with black sesame seeds. The only thing I can't figure out is how they were able to get the croissants sliced so evenly Any suggestions?

This region has some interesting flavors for the potato chips. Some of them are pretty out there (fish sauce flavor perhaps...) but there are also some that are slightly more familiar if not found in the states. I got the sweet Thai basil flavor, with chiles!! MMM! I don't usually eat potato chips, they get all stuck in my teeth and it's not that fab. These chips were incredibly worth it soooo good. (almost nommy)

Saving the best for last, I introduce: orange-flavored M&M's. I have already had a request for these from one of my stateside friends. Order is shipping out this week Along with some Lao coffee.(apparently it's the good stuff)

Now if anyone wants any of the things that I've found or any other souvenir requests, let me know, I'll do what I can!
