Your post reminded me of our favorite Thai restaurant here in the DC area, Rabieng. We’re regulars there and a past manager Andy always stopped by the table to say hello. A few years ago we went there for dinner just before New Year’s Eve and as we were getting up to leave, Andy came running after us and gave us a can of rambutan and wished up a happy new year. I remember him telling us how he loved to eat rambutan late at night while he watched TV after a long day at work.

Jaden, Interesting pictures!! Rambutan is my best fruit ever. Your posting reminds me with my uncle farm where he plant rambutan back in Indonesia.

I love Rambutan, probably not as much as I love lychees but close enough.

I’ve taken to bringing weird fruits to the office to freak out a couple of colleagues. Their awareness of fruits is probably limited to oranges, apples and bananas, because everything I’ve brought in recently has resulted in “oooh, aahhh!”‘s and poking of things.

Dragonfruit, rambutan, lychees and doughnut peach were all new things to them Unfortunately, they weren’t willing to have a taste!

So, how much do you wanna bet that the next multi level marketing company is going to be centered around the exotic rambutan fruit! HA
Goji beware!

The container for ice cream is genius. The hat for teddy is beyond words – I think it makes him look festive and stylish. Like the Burberry bow wasn’t helping him enough – he’s a fashion-forward bear, clearly – mixing the old with the new!
