Re: Vientiane,Laos
One or two usd extra per meal don't really get to me. It is the workers handling raw meat and cooked food at the same time that scared me. I also felt that the food overall is not as tasty as the food in the tourist areas of Singapore or Thailand.
I am on a low sodium diet by doctor's order.
It seems to me that most third world countries including mainland China uses too much MSG and salt. Instead of using meat and other natural but more expensive ingredients, they just keep pouring more salt and msg into the pot.
Like one of our senior member said: one man's meat is another man's poison.
