What’s the best or favorite meal you’ve eaten in the last month?

Prompt created by yours truly. 
Feel free to use any prompts for May 2026 that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses.

Last month, I indulged in Laotian food. I haven’t had good Laotian food since I left Minnesota but I gotta admit that Nok’s Kitchen is pretty good… but not as good as Gai Noi or Khรขluna in Minneapolis.

My friends know how to put on the feedbag so they ordered a bunch of appetizers.

I normally don’t eat pork (I love pigs and they’re so smart) but I’ll be damned if the fried pork belly didn’t slap. It’s marinated with lemongrass, garlic, ginger, and coconut milk.

The wagyu beef jerky was disappointing. I thought it would taste better than the fried pork belly but I was wrong.

BBQ mix combo came with pork sausage, wagyu skewer, chicken thigh with rice.

My main was yum goong – shrimp salad. It was very refreshing and not so heavy in comparison to the apps we all shared.

      Thereโ€™s a lot of overlap between Lao and Thai foods!

    I like the looks of the food–classy. But, the last one looks healthier the most.

    I don’t like pork either, but the way you described the pork being made. I would have to say, I would have to indulge in the food too.

    That looks great!! Being a Buddhist-Jew, I try and not eat pork or beef, (while I could starve myself for religion, I prefer meditation and prayers to Buddha instead) but I hear so much about pork belly in Asian cuisine. ๐Ÿ™‚ I need to get off my tokhes (butt) and get me some… the thing is, there are as many Chinese places and some Japanese and Korean places but not anything too ethnic sadly.

      Koreans def love pork and Chinese folks too

    I do love an appetizer meal. One of my go to faves when ordering Asian food.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      I could just eat apps instead of an entree

    I’ve never eaten Laotian food before but it looks soooo delicious!!! I’ll be on the lookout, although I’m sure any spice will be tampered down for the Japanese taste. A delicious meal I’ve had this week was definitely a simple rice bowl… like beef kalbi with cheese or something. With a side of miso soup. Not the best meal in my life but the best meal this week for sure.

      Yasss I hope you get to try Laotian food sometime!
