Luang Prabang Map and Omellette Snack

So far I have been sharing my experiences in Luang Prabang without giving much descriptions of the location of those places. Therefore, I have tried to sketch out a rudiment map of Luang Prabang town to give a clearer picture (Bottom).

On a late afternoon of our third day in Luang Prabang, we were looking for light snack to fill our stomach. We did not want something too heavy to avoid upsetting our dinner plans which will be soon. Walking down Sisavangvong Road, we first walked pass this small alley on our left hand-side. Two foreigners were sitted on a wooden stool and snacking on something that they seem to be enjoying. They have ordered an omellete from a makeshift stall. Undecided, we went further down the road to buy two cups of fruit shakes, pineapple and mango. On our way back, we passed through this stall again (Bottom). This time, Huey and I agreed that we should stop here for the omellete.

We sat down on the stool and ordered an omellete which only costs 4000 kips (USD0.50) (1st bottom). The lady chef started cooking our omellete in the most peculiar way. Not only was she seated throughout the cooking procedure but was in fact twisting her body sideways to cook (2nd bottom). Naturally, I was skeptical.

The omellete came not long after we ordered (Bottom). The omellete was served in a plate, a pair of chopsticks and bowl gravy. I was amazed how well cooked the omellete was. The appearance is near perfect with its golden yellow colour with a tinged of brown on its surface. The aroma wafting in the air was mouth-watering with the smell of a wok-fried egg minus the burnt smell, the evidence of a great chef. Now the gravy is not typical gravy that I have seen. Visually, the gravy is transparent brown liquid with crushed groundnuts in it. I had a taste of it and it tasted sweet. I missed the fish taste but Huey said that it was evident and she was spot on. When we did a web check on it later, we found that fish sauce was used as an ingredient.

Firstly, we poured the gravy over the omellete and flipped the top layer of egg open. Voila! This revealed a generous portion of morning glory (Kangkong) and bean sprouts in it (Bottom). I took a mouthful of egg and the fillings, umm yeah it was really delicious. The vegetables were still crunchy. We swiftly finished up the omellete and left the stall feeling very satisfied which left me wondering if we have this wonderful food back home.
