As I mentioned in the Sukiyaki Donburi post, other than bento, rice bowls are very popular in Japan. Rice bowls are called donburi in Japanese. Donburi is basically a one-meal dish where the rice and the side dish—consisting of either meat, fish, eggs, and/or vegetables—are served together in one big rice bowl as a complete meal.

I have never been to Laos but I have a Laotian friend when I lived in the Bay Area. I remember one of the potluck parties at the office, she prepared a delicious grilled chicken that got me hooked.
