The freshly baked baguettes can be found in the street everywhere and the fillings are as varied as the many stalls. The choice is yours, cream cheese, salad, pate (a kind of lucky dip "meatloaf", where it's probably better not to ask what's in it), crispy fried fish, dried buffalo strips, bbq chicken, pork sausages, pork floss, mayo and sweet chilli sauce.
Prices vary from $1aus to $2, depending on how much they can actually fit in these things. Sounds more like an after pub or club feed than breakfast, but is a welcome change from noodle soup!
Another remnant from the French era are the many Patisseries found around Vientiane. You can indulge in croissants, danish pastries, pain au chocolat and tart au citron. It is quite surreal to be sitting on the pavement tucking into a pain au chocolat and a thick brewed coffee in the middle of SE Asia. Bon appetit!
