Stop 03 · Laos
Steamed rice, rolled between your fingers, softened with coconut milk: Asian Road brought sticky rice back from Laos, and serves it at 9 rue Laurent Fauchier, right behind the courthouses.
Let's be clear
Asian Road isn't a Lao restaurant. It's Southeast Asian street food with no fixed country, borrowing from five cuisines — Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia — what each does best.
After Vietnam and Cambodia, the road crosses Laos. It's stop 03: the stop of sticky rice, eaten with your fingers. A simple gesture, and a grain you find again at the end of the meal, for dessert.
What we brought back
Not a copied recipe: a grain, a gesture, and a dessert slipped into a menu that mixes the stops.
Steamed, dense and tender: the grain that gives the Laos stop its identity.
Over there, you roll it and eat it with your fingers. Here, it keeps that street simplicity, no ceremony.
The dessert that comes straight from it: “Sticky rice naturally coloured with the season, with sweet coconut milk or grated coconut as you prefer, finished with touches of gold.”
All the way to dessert
A bit of buzz outside, the kitchen in sight, a box served in three minutes — and the Laos stop waiting for you at dessert: the spirit of Southeast Asia's night markets, Aix edition.
One base out of five, one flavour out of five, readable at a glance at the counter. Twenty-five pairings, no booking needed.
Over a high flame, right in front of you: that's what gives the box its taste of fire and street food.
Laos's sticky rice, coloured with the season, slips into the bag with the box: at the office, on a bench in town or back home.
