Or Lam refers to Laos regional dish from Luang Prabang. Or Lam is a Lao stew - something like a European stew which is made with lemon grass, dried buffalo meat and skin, chilis and eggplant along with some Pa Daek are basic ingredients, but the really distinctive feature is the addition of crisp-fried pork skin and sweet basil. Or Lam is a spicy stew with mushrooms, eggplant, meat, lemongrass, chilies, dill and spicy wood called Sak Khan. When you chew the wood, it delivers a peppery, numbing, and oddly satisfying sting. Sak Khan gives out a very distinctive flavor and taste which is just limited to the basic sweet, sour, bitter, and salty.

Otak means Offal, specifically the brain of animals which is use for food. In the Philippines, Utak ng Baboy (Pork's Brain) is often made into an egg omelette. I have not tried eating "utak" yet, I think this is one healthy food as the old Filipinos said which I will never try to eat. But my eldest sister said it is very delicious and in earlier times when my mother cooks "utak", she is the first on the table. She likes to try everything exotic, from Balut, Utak, Oyster.
