There isn't a specific Laotian cuisine restaurant in London(the cuisine of the Lao ethnic group of Laos and Northeast Thailand)but you can find plenty of Thai cuisine restaurants,
Burmese you can find MANDALAY "Mandalay Burmese Restaurant" on 444,Edgware Road
Specialties are made with coconut, cumin, turmeric, dried shrimps, chili and lemon grass.I've asked our waiter which were the Burmese typical dishes, he explained;Coconut Noddle with Prawns,very subtle Coconut flavor, juice prawns and thick noodles topped with a crisp deep fried thin rice noodles, it also can be made with chicken or vegetables (vegetarian version)and Twice cooked Fish curry :it consists of a fine battered fish filled deep fried,topped with a "very spicy"tomato sauce were the favorites.

Every month, I will post a new "review" from places I've visited. This month is:“The Breakfast Club” In a charming Alley in Angel/ Isling ton is” The Breakfast Club”. Right away at the entrance, I was acknowledged in a very welcoming way and instructed to seat where I pleased (this is very rare in London where you are normally seated near the toilet, facing some wall or in a awkward place, this always happens in busy eateries), not that this place was packed, but, is very popular indeed among young trendy people. The food exceeded my expectations, ticking all squares; Presentation, texture, balance, colour, and the most important in my opinion, FLAVOR! I’ve ordered Poached eggs with grilled Asparagus and Hollandaise Sauce with extra toasts, good quality bread, the way that should be. The Menu is vast; from the obvious English full breakfast to the “Posh” Menu –Smoked Salmon, Smoothies, or Yogurt and Cereal, for all tastes. The queue is usually long at the weekends, do like I did, go in the afternoon, when it is normally quiet.
Cambodia, what probably Angelina had eaten there...
If I had to describe the food from Cambodia in two words:"Fresh and Fragrant"
I discovered yesterday a Cambodian restaurant near Camden Road Station called "Lemon grass".I can be wrong, but, I think it is the only one in London, this cuisine is not well known as Thai, is a gem yet to shine.
I had Lok Luk Steak,a classic Khmer peasant dish made with onions and crushed black pepper,doesn't taste any like Thai,accompanied with a Mango Salad,a delicious sweet and sour flavor(Mango,coriander,onion,shredded carrots, pickled cucumber dressed with fresh lemon and cayenne pepper this salad will make your taste buds tingle!
The portions are not big,I had room to try another specialty Phnom Penh Chicken:Chicken cubs,onion,carrot,basil,red and green pepper,all stir fried with chili sauce(loads of then)
Highly Recommended!
