First thing one notices is that its damn cold here. I know other folks have it worse, but even the "mild" Northwest winter weather is more than I can bear. Add the unpredictable jet lag nods into the equation and its enough to make a bitch coyote eat her pups.
Just a few days ago I was hanging out in the jungle doing nothing. Yeah. The Jungle Way. SE-Asia2013

Not Dead Yet...
Taiwanese pudding in theory
Taiwanese pudding in fact. Pretty good for $2 US (which is 50 Taiwan dollars)
I'm in Tai-fucking-Wan and going the wrong-fucking-way. But, OK, the goofy pudding was a sop from the travel gods.

The Food
Its the Food stall of all food stalls, my go to noodle shop in Bangkok. I have blogged about it before and I will again. It is simply the best.
Pad Kee Mao on a sizzling iron plate. All of the seafood is fresh. It is amazing!!
Can you see that special browned bottom to the wide noodles? Thats where the noodles scald on the iron plate. It gives the bottom noodles a different texture than the top and middle. And these noodles pack a punch. You want to be careful what you add from the spice tray.
Several courses later I am full as a tick and even managed a durian fruit mid-course.
D-Day
The Durian Day that is. I swore I wouldn't leave SE Asia without a tasting of the notorious Durian. Not this time. So here it is, in video, the Durian challenge.
You have to try it to believe it.
