This happened for the second time in the month that I stayed in this small city called Pattaya. First, there was a storm, with new rain, and then the electric and water was just cut off.
I just recorded this video today where you can see how to open durian fruit, some call it the king of all fruits. It tastes quite good. It does not smell at all. It has a specific smell, some say it smells like old socks, but that is just not true. Maybe they ate old durian, that was rotten inside.
Durian, in fact, smells very nice, and it tasted good too. I used to eat it everyday. However, it kind of gets boring. Many Thai people eat it regularly. It is high caloric fruit, and some say, it can be dangerous if consumed in large quantities.
So I visited this restaurant today. I wanted to test it out. It had a good vibe if you look at it from outside. The restaurant is kind of posh. You can take your girlfriend here and have a good candle kind of date. But order 3 meals for each to fill your stomach. I thought wow; this is a pleasant place. Then the disappointments start coming. First, the staff was always hurrying. Like they are sprinting over hurdles and not serving in a posh wanna to be restaurant. I ordered water bottle, and they bring you this cheap glass imitation bottle. What a disgrace.
