Suzanne is buying equipment to open WeLa Lao more days a week! WeLa Lao is a new Lao food business started in May of 2021. The business’s mission is to introduce delicious Lao cuisine to hungry masses. WeLa Lao’s menu is intentionally concise to teach customers distinct Lao dishes that are harder to find at restaurants.  WeLa Lao’s customers are adventurous eaters across all age group. They appreciate WeLa Lao’s dedication to food quality. The business’s top-selling dishes include street food snacks, called Khao Jee waffle sticks, to traditional Lao dishes made with a modern twist, such as Nam Khao, Laap Tacos, and the immensely popular Lao Sausage Baguette Sandwich. The sausage in this dish is a family recipe and the Lao-style baguette is baked in-house. WeLa Lao started at the Vancouver Farmer’s Market, a huge attraction, especially during the summer tourist season in the Pacific Northwest. The business’s following grew through word-of-mouth as the only Lao food provider in the area. Owner Suzanne is dedicated to bringing awareness to the vibrant flavors of Lao cuisine.
