Last night we went to the night market again, it was Vic's first trip to the night market though. He was curious at what people are selling and couldn't help himself to fool around with the hawkers about pricing. I told him if you are not interest in buying, don't bother them.
He stopped at a fruit stand asking the lady for a free taste of an exotic fruit called "Rambutan", the lady is very nice and offered him a free sample. Vic peeled open the hairy looking red fruit like lychee, it tasted milder than lychee but have the same texture. He was sold after he sampled it so we bought a kg for 40B = US$ 1.2.
Then I saw this lady has "Durian" so I bought a portion too, "Durian" is the King of all fruit in Thailand, cost 140B = US$ 3.2 for a small portion. But it is one of my favourite exotic fruit. It has a very strong odour not everyone can take it, you either love it or hate it, there's nothing in between.
On our way back, Vic said: "Why is that I smell garbage?!"
I kept quiet......
He continues: "Ooh my God, it's your Durian, please put it in the trunk! It smells like vomit mixed with garbage."
I replied, "It is a very exotic fruit, a special taste that you have to acquire it and it is not everyone know how to appreciate it., just like cheese or beer."
On the other hand, I am happy that he hates Durian because I get to enjoy it all by myself!
