Hidden away in a tiny strip mall on a hill, this restaurant has a short but dazzling menu of Lao and Thai dishes. One fantastic appetizer is their \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nam_khao\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nam kao\u003c/a>,\u003c/em> a large platter of crispy rice salad that's stir-fried with \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Som_moo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">som moo\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, or sour fermented pork sausage. Wrap the rice in lettuce with fresh herbs, but be careful to leave some room for your entree as these tasty bundles could be a whole meal all by themselves. \u003cem>Kao piak\u003c/em>, a big bowl of chicken soup brimming with homemade rice/tapioca noodles and fried garlic is perfect if you're nursing a cold or in the mood for Southeast Asian comfort food. Unless you're starving, get the medium size; it's a generous portion large enough for two. Another standard Lao noodle soup is \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khao_soi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kao soy\u003c/a>\u003c/em>;\u003cem> \u003c/em>wide,\u003cem> \u003c/em>flat rice noodles swim in a chicken broth topped with spicy minced pork and meatballs. Be sure to see what's on their list of specials as well.

Many of the Lao dishes -- listed under a special section of their menu -- are prepared at least medium spicy if you don't specify otherwise, so get ready to fan the sweat off your brow during dinner (and order a basket of sticky rice to help cool your palate.) A ground meat salad, like \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">larb kai\u003c/a>\u003c/em> made with chicken, is a staple of Lao cuisine.

The juicy slices of \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lao_sausage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">xay kok\u003c/a>, or Lao pork sausage, is bursting with a variety of flavors from lemongrass to shallots.

Formerly a grocery store, That Luang Kitchen's menu proudly announces that the demand for their popular papaya salad and other prepared food allowed them to gradually transform their space into a restaurant. You'll often find quail dishes on Lao menus, and they offer up a crispy fried quail appetizer with sweet and sour sauce. Their platter of \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Som_moo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nam\u003c/a>\u003c/em> is a mild, gelatinous pork sausage, often included in other dishes (like the aforementioned crispy rice salad from Sue's Kitchen). Be sure to try their red curry with your choice of chicken or fish and Thai eggplant, bamboo shoots, basil and coconut milk. It's light and fragrant, reminiscent of fresh curries you'd find sold by street vendors in Thailand or Laos; soak it up with bites of sticky rice.

Maybe you're curious about why so many people are eating vegetarian or vegan diets. There's no better week to answer those questions and celebrate the veggies than U.S. Veg Week, starting this Meatless Monday (April 21) and running through April 27.

More recent polls have had different results, with a 2012 Gallup poll finding that 7% of people identify as vegetarian or vegan and a 2013 Public Policy Polling survey finding 13% of the population was vegetarian or vegan. The varying statistics might be due to the range of self-definitions that constitute identifying as a vegetarian or vegan. But, there's no denying that numbers have been on the rise in recent years and particularly in places like the Bay Area. If U.S. Veg Week has its way those numbers will continue to skyrocket as more people embrace a vegetarian diet.\u003c/p>\n\n",
