Sabai Talk Podcast is a conversation about Thai food, Thai cooking and Thai culture from the most visible Thai female Chefs in media: Hong Thaimee and Pailin Chongchitnant.

In this episode Hong and Pailin talk about the iconic Thai dish, laab. They cover many topics including the fact that laab refers to two entirely different Thai dishes. You’ll learn about why “larb” is a gross mispronunciation, the origin of laab, and of course their tips for making both types of laab at home.
