It looks like a chain, but there's only one YKJ. Since I don't speak any Lao, I order food by pointing, so at YKJ, I pointed to the menu image of a chicken burger meal, with fries and soft drink, although it's labeled "GRILLED LEGS PACKAGE." The chicken burger was not bad, but the fries were actually excellent. After all, they're "MORE FLEXIBLE / MORE DELICIOUS / MORE FEELINGS," as clearly stated on the lit sign behind the counter.

At a Chinese eatery, I pointed to a bowl of noodles labeled "Yellow Noodle with Beef," but was served egg noodles with duck.

Just tonight, at another place, I pointed to a rice dish labeled "Curry over rice," but was served stir fried beef with bits of bok choy and tomato, over rice. There was no curry whatsoever.

At the Davika, I saw an elegant bar of white chocolate on the table, next to a glass, so I unwrapped and bit into it. It turned out to be soap, which forced me to gargle for quite a while to get rid of the taste. Having stayed at hundreds of hotels, of course I know they often have tiny bars of soap, but I was thrown off because of this one's placement. Plus, I couldn't read the writing.
