Phousi Market
Sunday, April 9th, 2006I discovered today that the Talat Dala Market that used to be up the street toward the river has moved to the outskirts of town and is now called the Phousi Market (pronounced “poosi I say it carefully.) After a short ride in a Tuk Tuk, I watched the women from the countryside sell their fruit, vegetables, palm sugar, sheets of seaweed and other items, many unidentifiable, while having a leisurely Lao Cafe…strong Lao coffee in a little glass poured over sweetened condensed cream…served traditionally, as in Viet Nam, with a glass of green tea on the side.
Mystery Message
I haven’t been able to figure out what happened in Lao in 1983…anyone have any idea?
Then after a breakfast of delicious noodle soup I purchased sweet dried beef, lao cookies, seaweed and a bag of cherry tomatoes for snacking.
