意思
Coffee served without milk.
文化背景
Coffee is often served with a side of hot green tea for free. It is polite to sip the tea after the coffee. This region produces 95% of Lao coffee. Ordering 'Ka-fe Dam' here is seen as a sign of respect for the local harvest. Coffee is often filtered through a cloth 'sock.' This method makes 'Ka-fe Dam' very strong and dark. When meeting elders, they might offer you coffee. Accepting a 'Ka-fe Dam' is a neutral and safe choice.
The Sugar Trap
In Laos, 'Black' doesn't mean 'Unsweetened.' Always add 'Bo sai nam tan' if you want it truly bitter.
Free Tea
Don't pay for the glass of tea that comes with your coffee; it's always free!
