Cranky T. Great little resturant in Phonsavan.

Just up the road from Bamboozle.

I had these two cakes…one was a Japanese chocolate cake. I was buzzing after eating it. So rich and tasty.

Looks far to posh for Phonsavan, but then again this town is booming.

Thoroughly recommend Cranky T..
The owners Dad is the contractor for the road to Long Cheng.
The Chinese have the contract from the other direction. I guess the ones getting shot up recently ?

She employees mostly Hmong.. May come across as a bit of a hard case.
But just trying to teach them what is right and wrong and how to work properly. .
Genuinely cares for the staff.

When there met Dad and the Mayor of Phonsavan. They had been playing Badminton.

Selfie with the Mayor :)

There’s two ripper little bakery’s located directly opposite Bamboozle.

Great places to stock up on some riding tucker before taking off.

There open early and close late.
