意思
The act of having the first meal of the day.
文化背景
Breakfast is often 'Khao Niao' (sticky rice). It's common to see people buying small bags of sticky rice and grilled pork (Ping Moo) from street vendors in the morning. Due to colonial history, 'Khao Chee' (baguettes) are a very popular breakfast item, often served with pate or dipped in condensed milk and coffee. In the morning, Lao Buddhists give alms (Tak Bat) to monks. The food given is the monks' breakfast, which must be consumed before noon. Asking 'Kin khao sao laeo bor?' is a way of showing care and concern, not just a literal question about food.
The 'Rice' Rule
If you want to sound more like a local, use 'kin khao sao'. It's the heart of Lao culture.
Don't skip the verb
You can't just say 'A-han sao' to mean 'I'm having breakfast'. You must include 'kin'.
