Baan Mae is one of the most exciting restaurants in DC right now. The food is so vibrant - colors flavors, textures. Start with the tapioca dumplings (eat wrapped in lettuce) and salad - funky tea leaf & crowd pleasing banana blossom. Mango sticky rice, meet ice cream sticky rice
Vijaya Dashami is a few days away and today in Lao PDR, I saw a part of the Lao Ramayana, highlighting the victory of Prabhu Shri Ram over Ravan. It is heartening to see the people here remain in touch with the Ramayan. May the blessings of Prabhu Shri Ram always remain upon us!
With all these new restaurant openings(mine included!) don't forget how excellent Padeek is. I could and probably should, eat here every week. @ChefSeng
Checked out the new Arlington location of Laotian restaurant @PadaekDC, from the owner of @thipkhaoDC. It has a great menu with many vegetarian options and regal service. Their new DC spot Baan Mae (1604 7th St NW) is opening next month with cocktails and seasonal Laotian dishes.
Guess what's coming back at @thipkhaodc!!!! Nope! I didn't forget you DC! Stop by this week for winter and comforting curry noodle.

Praises for the banana blossom salad at @Hanumanh_DC--simply a great dish. (Everything else there is pretty wonderful, too--and there's an outdoor patio.)

D.C. chefs like @DannyLeeDC@ChefTimMa @chefkevtien @ChefSeng have rallied behind the AAPI community and mobilized peers to organize anti-racist fundraising dinners. In the process, they've raised thousands and expanded their platforms to other cities https://t.co/NoqoQycyap
