Cully Central Beer Bar with Lao Food in PDX

It’s been a little over a year now that Cully Central opened with its unique premise of a beer bar with Lao Food. Nothing fancy – there aren’t even real plates and silverware. But I’ve always adored Nam Khao, a fried rice dish that combines the flavors of fried rice with extra crispy portions of rice balls, all wrapped up in a lettuce like a taco you make yourself. You’ll find Nam Khao is the famous dish of the menu here.

My secret though is that although I so like the Nam Khao, I like the housemade Lao sausages with sticky rice the most on the menu. The sausage is a pork sausage seasoned with herbs and spices then grilled and served with a Lao tomato sauce. This is the perfect food for beer my friends. I can eat multiple plates of these… and still want to take another order home for breakfast the next day too. Look at how moist and spiced these are once you cut inside.They serve the marinated grilled beef brisket with the same rice and tomato sauce accompaniments, but these sausage just fit that beer so much more perfectly. GET THESE.
