🇱🇦 Vientiane, Laos | 10-Month Food & Travel Guide (Final Edition!)

This wraps up my 10-month adventure in Laos—covering must-eat spots, hidden gems, and local life hacks! 🍕 Food & Cafés 1️⃣ The Pizza Company Decent pizza! Next door has ice cream (warning: extremely sweet). 2️⃣ Le Terrasse Wood-fired pizzas & fresh bread. 3️⃣ Kualao Restaurant "National banquet" vibes (food: meh; evenings have traditional dance shows). 4️⃣ Moon Bar Rooftop cocktails with city views + live music. Romantic AF. 5️⃣ Lotteria Korean fried chicken chain. Try the spicy wings (~¥30/set). 6️⃣ Sindard Farsai (ຊີ້ນດາດ ຟ້າໃສ) Laos’ best BBQ (locals swear by it!). No-frills, just flame-grilled magic. ☕ Coffee & Snacks: SENGLAO Café: Insta-worthy. Starbucks: Cheaper than elsewhere—abuse this privilege. 🛒 Shopping 🛍️ BIG C Mall Newly opened! Reloadable food cards (unused funds refundable). 💰 Bestco Supermarket Near Confucius Institute. Cheaper than D-Mart + has a rotating hotpot opposite! 🏛️ Sights & Logistics 🏆 Patuxai (Victory Gate) China-aided landmark. Night fountain shows! 📸 KM Farm Super remote but photo heaven (round-trip taxi: ~200,000 KIP). 🏪 7-Eleven Pricier than Thailand’s, but packed with ready-to-eat meals. 🚆 Pro Tip Need China-Laos Railway tickets?
