Saplai Charleston, Laos and Thai Fusion

May 14, 2019

Laos & Thai FOOD

Personally I’ve never had a mixture of these two amazing foods before and I finally got my taste of this goodness! If you’re in the Charleston area and looking for some amazing Laos and Thai food this pop-up food vendor is it! Saplai Charleston boast of great lemongrass chicken wings as well as a variety of different noodle dishes. You also won’t break the bank to feed your family or yourself for lunch or dinner! Make sure to follow @Saplaichs on Instagram and Facebook to see where they will pop up at to get your local asian food cravings. I went to their pop up at @containerbar Charleston owned by local resident and celebrity Bill Murray. If you haven’t definitely check it out. Their bar is super cool and modern and is made of shipping containers! How cool is that? Also they do have local drafts and IPA’s and happy hour menus! Different food trucks come in and out of this area that also has free parking! Unlike the rest of downtown Charleston this place has a parking lot! That’s one of the greatest features for restaurants and bars to have downtown. More about the food though…it’s seriously finger licking good and amazing paired with a cold Stella on a hot day in Charleston. Let me take you on a tastebud tour in 3, 2, 1…. The chef at Saplai Charleston has fused her Laos and Thai experiences and culture to create a food pallet that is robust in flavors and sauces.

FAVORITE DISHES

One of my favorite dishes was the Drunken Noodles, this tasted similar to Pad Thai to me and it had such great flavor and if you love Basil like me this is your go to dish! Another favorite was of course the wings and the egg rolls! I love how fresh this was because the lemongrass ginger wings had the crunch on the outside and tender chicken on this inside which was mouthwatering! I also really like the fact that you can pick any protein to go with the noodle and salad dishes as well to substitute. I like these egg rolls similar to lumpia (Filipino egg rolls)  because unlike the traditional egg rolls from Chinese restaurants the wrap isn’t all that you get and flower. These are thinner which means there are more sustenance in the egg roll, these are similar to what my family makes at home (I’m Vietnamese)! I love the unique flavor of the Bean Thread Noodles as well, the sauce that is soaked up in the texture of these translucent noodles make it that more juicy! The variety of options they have is great because the salad can also be a vegetarian/vegan dish to those who do not eat meat or dairy.

Do you want 10% off your order at Saplai Charleston?

Make sure to follow their Instagram page so you can see where their pop up is headed next to schedule or lunch or dinner plans and show them this blog / picture (or you can screenshot it) to receive 10% off your food order. 10% discount valid until July 31, 2019.

Pictured to the left are several dishes. We ordered the Lemongrass chicken wings, Sweet Soy glass noodles, Bean Thread Noodles, the Thai Beef salad, Egg Rolls (because no asian meal is complete without egg rolls in my family), and the Drunken Noodles. Each dish can be substituted without a protein or with any protein of choice (chicken, shrimp, or beef).
