So hard to believe it was two years ago to the day that G&G hosted this interactive dinner party at 💚 missin’ these experiences, miss y’all. Dreaming of ways to bring Lao cuisine and flavors back to ya.

Spicy Thai Basil paste 👀🌿🌶️ creativity is one of my top values, and I want to make food that honors the ingredients and the cuisine and also tastes like I was thoughtful and curious about the whole process and how pieces can play together. Time for a little Thai Basil paste flat noodle soup experiment. 🍜

I imagine myself as a little kitchen witch when I make ‘s “fishy” sauce - carefully measuring, chopping, repeating my incantations (the ingredient measurements hah!), and then firing up the stove. Magic! 🧙🏼‍♀️

Locally owned Good & Golden is a unique pop-up dining experience by chef Lasamee Kettavong and her husband. They serve authentic Lao cuisine through interactive dinners, pop-ups and meal pickups, all while teaching about Lao culture and history.

Wow - hi - hello! It has been exactly one month since I last posted on the G&G account but it feels like a year and then some. Between the two of us who run the show, in the past few weeks, we have dealt with one badly sprained ankle that flared up an old injury, two manage-able & managed but really not fun infections, one super high scary fever, and, wouldn’t you know it, we have become VERY hyper aware of how much G&G takes physically when we are serving food at markets or trying to pop up an entire restaurant and cooking classroom in a plant studio! G&G isn’t going anywhere aside from being absorbed into .vong.project - please give that account a follow to stay in the loop for when G&G is taking a metaphorical nap in the heat of the summer and to tune in to my writing & art around food, heritage, and family. This photo was taken by .rustagi 💛 during an event right next to for the city of Denton’s Imagine the Possibilities shindig. In the foreground are sesame lotus cookies among a curated display of Lao cooking tools. In the back, you can see my illuminated rice paper piece, of which, I guess I’m pretty proud. Thank you all for the love, support, and encouragement.

Sabaidee! Special announcement for our vegetarian and vegan supporters: we have opened a very limited number of seats for folks who want to enjoy a vegan version of all of the food & drink (and cooking lesson of course!) at the Ma Kin Khao interactive dinner party on Saturday, May 11th 4-7 PM at True Leaf Studio!

Tickets available here:

G&G has always offered a vegan-ized version of our dishes: at popup markets, during meal service/Soupy Sundays, and now, we are happy to be able to do that for an interactive dinner party. After people asked and we thought through logistics, we thought, “Yes! Why not?! It’d be fun to invite those interested to the pha khao (table)!”

Before G&G ever became a Lao food & culture company, Lasamee began making vegan fish-y sauce (swipe to see how lovely and colorful the ingredients are!) and experimenting with ingredients like jackfruit, dried and fresh shiitake and oyster mushrooms, tofu, seitan, and the like. She wanted to be able to share with her loved ones who were vegetarian or vegan the joy of making and eating Lao food. That’s why we do it, folks!
