Lao Deli Thanksgiving Experience: “Pa Khao Family Feast”

Experience Thanksgiving the Lao way!

Join Lao Deli for a one-of-a-kind “Pa Khao” Family Feast — a Lao celebration of gratitude, food, and togetherness.

In Lao culture, Pa Khao means communal eating, where everyone gathers around to share food, stories, and laughter. It’s more than a meal — it’s an experience that connects people through culture and flavor.

💡 Fun fact: At a Pa Khao feast, you use your hands to eat! Sticky rice is the centerpiece, used to scoop up delicious dishes, symbolizing unity and community.

Come enjoy a farm-to-table Thanksgiving menu featuring authentic Lao dishes made with fresh Florida ingredients — from spicy papaya salad and grilled meats to fragrant herbs and tropical fruits.

This is your chance to taste, learn, and celebrate the beauty of sharing food together. Whether you’re new to Lao cuisine or grew up with it, you’ll leave with a full heart and even fuller plate.

The Feast

Grilled Wild Caught Mullet or Wild Caught Tilapia

Wild-caught Florida Mullet (Rich distinctive flavor) or Tilapia (mild,flaky)

Whole fish rubbed with sea salt, stuffed with aromatic lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves, then grilled over open flames until the skin crisps to perfection. Served with our signature spicy-tangy tamarind dipping sauce (nam jim jaew) featuring chilies, lime, fish sauce, and toasted rice powder.

Grilled Bone-In Pork Riblets

Tender pork riblets marinated in a savory blend of mushroom bouillon, garlic, oyster sauce, and farm-fresh lemongrass, then grilled to caramelized perfection. Each bite delivers rich umami depth with a hint of citrusy brightness and smoky char.

Sai Oua (Lao Pork Sausage)

Sai Oua Lao - Lao Herbal Pork Sausage

Handcrafted pork sausage blended with fragrant kaffir lime leaves, shallots, and traditional Lao herbs, then grilled to a smoky, golden char. Each link bursts with aromatic, citrus-forward flavors and a hint of heat.

Nam Khao (Crispy Rice Salad)

Crispy fried rice balls tossed with fermented pork sausage, peanuts, fresh herbs, lime, and chili. A textural masterpiece balancing crunchy, tangy, savory, and spicy in every bite. Served with fresh piper lolot for wrapping.

Soua Gai (Shredded Chicken Soup)

Tender poached chicken tossed with toasted rice powder, fresh herbs, shallots, mint, cilantro, scallions, and a bright lime-fish sauce dressing. Finished with dried chili flakes for a gentle heat. Light, refreshing, and packed with herbaceous flavor.

A northern Lao classic that's as nourishing as it is delicious.

Khao Tom (Thai Banana in Banana Leaf Sweet Treat)

Sweet sticky rice mixed with ripe banana and coconut milk, wrapped in fragrant banana leaves and steamed until tender. Each packet unfolds to reveal warm, creamy rice infused with natural banana sweetness and a delicate floral aroma from the leaves.
