Is the dominance of Western fast food coming to Laos?

KFC is due to open its doors to the Lao public on Saturday.

Around the world, eating habits are changing because of the increasing popularity of fast food but will KFC change Lao eating habits?

KFC is to open on Fa Ngum Road on Saturday.

Vientiane already has a great variety of food on offer with local stalls selling barbecued pork, chicken and duck, and roadside stalls and restaurants serving other local delicacies are seen everywhere.

Due to its former colonial background, Vientiane has always had a reputation for its good French restaurants but also has foods from other ethnic kitchens such as Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indian, Italian, Japanese, and Korean.
