When Monday evening comes close and I will enter my plane to Phuket, there are a lot of things to consider. And that – even if you might think otherwise – is not only about soap, creams and sun lotions, polo shirts and underwear but remembering some friends that you HAVE to visit and drink a beer or wine and they good buy for the next couple of month.
Red Duck Curry
Also to do so with my tooth fairy Daniel. Because we both had not really time to do what – since years would be our practice in his or our home – we always would do cooking. So we went out to a cosy restaurant I was truly interested to see: A Laos restaurant in Freiburg, bringing all the memories and the joy from the last visit and my next stay.
A really petite woman came around to one of the tables in this just with a couple of different tables and chairs arranged and with some pictures of Burma (or Myanmar if you wish) decorate room. After we got the first Singha, I remembered that in Laos we always had Beerlao. So we order from her 4 dishes and after a couple minutes they all came: this food looked really good! But instead of 4 dishes we got 5: Somehow, also she had been writing when we were ordering had a fifth dishes found its places in our table – spring rolls! Well, while telling us she would take it away we said she doesn’t need to and the spring rolls were the first one which went down with a fresh Beerlao. And know everything was perfect: The taste of the food, the smoothness of the Laos beer – all remembered me for my visit in Vientiane.
Daniel at the End of Our Meal
And while we were drinking and eating, one other friend of Daniel came in with his girl friend and they stop shortly at our table and I had another fan of our house who congratulated me for its style. For Daniel, the friend standing at our table and another friend from their studies have been visiting Thailand and later on also our house for a couple of days.
Well the food here was great and the beer as well. So, a surprising Laos welcome present under the the stars of Freiburg.
The only problem this Laos restaurant Daniel hat already told me before: Do not wonder when some dishes arrive at the table you have not ordered. They just may have found their way by their own to our plates and finally in to our stomachs. And Daniel and his friends already have a word for such surprising ways: Chaos in Laos.

your tooth fairy looks like he’d just got a tooth or two removed…
I do understand your question, dear kree stoph, but I do think he lost his upper teeth all the way in front of the restaurant.
