Saturday 20th October Join Chef Khamphaeng from Le Calao Restaurant to indulge your flavour sensations on International Chef\u2019s Day.
\nThe Chef\u2019s elegantly designed 8 course Laotian tasting menu features dishes based upon his favourite childhood memories, learned from cooking his grandmother\u2019s family recipes.
\nEnjoy one of his specialties, the Pork Lakou – a dish inherited from the French colonial period. \u2018Lakou\u2019 is how the Lao people have learned to pronounce the word \u2018Ragout\u2019 over time. Pork Lakou is considered a delicacy amongst the local people, often served during special occasions such as weddings.<\/p>\n

Located along the lush banks of the Mekong River, Le Calao will feature Chef
\nKhamphaeng \u2018s menu from October 20-25th.<\/p>\n

For those who dine in-house on the 25th, the restaurant will provide a kratong to illuminate and float during the full-moon Light Boats Festival.<\/p>\n

October 25th, celebrate BOUN LAI HEUA FAI and for those who dine in- house, the restaurant will provide a kratong to illuminate and float along the Mekong at night, during the full-moon Light Boats Festival.<\/p>\n

Pay homage to the Lord Buddha, and to the rivers, especially the Mekong River, which literally means Mother of All Things.
\nThis is a night to ask the river and divinities forgiveness for the misuse of the water.
\nAt the moment you release the Kratong, say a prayer to send away all the bad things and bring about good luck.<\/p>\n
