Brought to you by The Lao Project

An intimate evening where food, culture, and conversation intertwine at The Lao Table. Whether you’ve grown up with these flavors or are experiencing them for the first time, you are welcome to join the table.

As you savor a thoughtfully crafted three-course meal, you’ll experience a journey through the bold, comforting, and unapologetically rich flavors of Lao cuisine. Each dish comes with a story—whether it’s the warmth of elders urging others to eat more, the resilience of the community, or the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones.

This gathering is part of The Lao Project, a storytelling initiative dedicated to preserving and sharing the lived experiences of Lao Americans.

Three-Course Menu:

🥢 Starter: Tum Mak Hoong – Spicy, tangy, and deeply flavorful, this papaya salad is pounded to perfection with juicy shrimp heads, fresh chilies, and shrimp paste offering a bold taste of Lao street food tradition.

🍜 Main Course: Khao Poon – A comforting and aromatic coconut curry noodle soup, rich with slow-simmered broth, tender shredded chicken, and fragrant herbs, served over thin rice noodles with fresh vegetables and lime.

🎃 Dessert: Sangkaya Mak Eu – A traditional Lao coconut custard made with eggs, gently steamed inside a tender Kabocha squash. The smooth, creamy custard and the sweet, earthy squash offer a unique, comforting finale to the meal.

Come hungry, come curious, and leave feeling full—not just from the food, but from the stories, connections, and essence of what it means to be Lao American. Welcome to The Lao Table.
