Koh Samui Escapade - Part 4

We were hungry after that. So we thought we will walk around and see what's there for food. After 5 mins of walking East, we decided to turn back because it was pretty desolate. We walked back to the hotel and asked the receptionists where to eat. Her English was so difficult to understand, so we made her write it down. There's a seafood restaurant within 10 minutes (which we did walked but decided it's not worth it), Maenam town (which sounded alright to us), and Fisherman's Village (reminds me of Fisherman lozenges!).
After deciding that the seafood restaurant wasn't worth it, we decided to flag down a 'tuk'. As usual, we couldn't communicate at all, I was trying to point to the word Maenam, but the driver seize upon the word Fisherman's Village and said, "ok we go Fisherman's Village". ehhh...I guess we are going to Fisherman's Village then ;-)
The psychedelically decorated 'tuk' was amazing. We could see the efforts to goes into the decor of the essentially a truck with a cover on top. It has a buzzer for ringing to stop (although it took us quite a while to discover it). A little red light came on just after we started the journey. It took us pass many shops, hawkers and restuarants, and we are thinking "oh I want to stop here, oh I want to stop here too'. But alas, it was not meant to be. We felt we pay (I think it's 300B, memory failing already after 3 weeks!) so we might as well enjoy the full distance the driver is planning to take us.
That 25 minutes ride was painful, because we had no idea where he was going! When we reached town, we were happy, but he didn't stop! Then it gets darker and darker, and we get worrier and worrier. Finally, he stopped and says 'Fisherman's Village'. It was dark!
Anyhow, once we started down the street, it was quite touristy. So the hunt for a good restaurant begins.... There were lots of massage places, souvenir sellers, and interestingly, tailors from India to make anything from suits to evening gowns...oh, they keep your measurements for 5 years...maybe a good marketing strategy, but who would maintain the same proportion for 5 years....I think mine would be 3 inches wider...hahaha...
Dinner? Hungry stomach?? oh, ok, eventually we did find an interesting looking restaurant, called Starfish and Coffee. No, we didn't have starfish for dinner!
The lighting was just nice, the atmosphere was one of the best we have experienced in restaurant eating. Very memorable...
The food was just ok only though... Well you can't have everything can you? But after the 'suffering' we had to get dinner, we couldn't complain can we?
Here you are, a little fish and a little chicken...sorrylah...can't remember what it's called!
There you have it, an eventful first night.
The adventure of Koh Samui continues...
