"The best Khao Piak Sen (round rice noodles served in a broth with pieces of chicken or deep-fried crispy pork belly) in town is served from an entirely unexotic shopfront well up the peninsula."

Cindy Fan

"Where to try khao piak: Xieng Thong Noodle - My favourite, especially when the egg is just poached and scrambling the yolk into the hot broth with your chopsticks adds another dimension of richness, already thickened from the starch."

Michael Herman

"With this kind of self-seasoning, the soup can take on different flavors on each visit; not that the soup needs much addition, it’s great by itself or perhaps with just a few chilis and a squeeze of Lao lime."

Pearl Yan

"We highly recommend Xieng Thong Noodle Soup in Luang Prabang for some tasty Khao Piak Sen. Make sure you order a rice cake as it goes perfectly with the noodle soup."

Pamela Chow

"For those who take comfort in Singapore’s mee sua, this is the perfect pick-me-up for a chilly morning in Luang Prabang."

Noelle Wysocki

"Delightful breakfast of Xieng Thong Noodle's khao piak."

Eva Natalia

"Not everyone will like it, but we sure do. Be very careful of the chilli, it’s very spicy!"

Donna Voyager

"The best noodle soup in Luang Prabang."

Life Of Doing

"Get your noodle fix here! We saw many locals eating here. We ate here 2 consecutive days – once for lunch and again the following day for breakfast. It was that good."

Singapore Air Moments

"This shop, though popular, is a modest stall located near Wat Xiang, specialized in making pork noodle soup that will definitely make you drool and crave for more."
