Then I guess there's other places like Yoko Thai, Smiles, and others, but none of them are exactly extravgent. They're good, but nothing that Vientiane doesn't offer as well. Just go down that street close to the Mekong, and there's tons of excellent places in Vientiane as well.
And considering Vientiane has enough of an expat population to support an international school that offers an Australian cirricullum, I don't think we'll have a problem finding things like parmasean cheese or sour cream.
