Not the Chiang Mai curry, the northern Lao original.

About
A spicy clear mince and noodle soup, different from its Chiang Mai counterpart.
Flat rice noodles go into a clear pork broth, and the bowl is finished with a dark, salty sauce of minced pork, tomato and fermented soybean spooned into the middle. No coconut milk, no curry, no fried noodles on top. The Thai dish that shares the name is a different recipe entirely.
It is a morning dish, sold at the markets and at noodle shops around town.
