Dragon fruit for at least $1000

Since the primitive time of our first ancestors, food was very important to us. Food to us is like adding gasoline to a car. Without food, humans would perish, just like a dead car without gas. Thus, humans in general eat to survive. At least that is from a biological point and it is true.

However, fast forward a few thousand years to our modern time, and we have discovered that we, as a human race, not only eat in order to survive, but we eat because we enjoy good food. Well at least the majority of us who can afford it. I guess we have now altered our biological purpose a little bit. We don’t just buy any kind of food to satisfy our hunger, but we choose the food that we love. We would even go out of our way and go that extra mile in obtaining the desire food of our hearts. Heck, we would even pay more just so we can taste it and just to satisfy our hunger for delicious food. I certainly am one of those people who would pay $1000 worth of airfare to go back to Vietnam just so I can eat great food. I'm really picky with the foods that I eat so I wouldn't mind spending the money if I have it. On the other hand, it doesn't have to cost a lot, it just have to agree with my taste buds.

I remember my trip to Vietnam eight years ago. It was a hot summer and all I remember about the trip was the numerous authentic dishes and the many exotic fruits that I found unforgettable. The fruits, particularly, looked interesting and were very scrumptious. I have a weakness for fruits and when I was presented with a plate full of weird, exotic, and heavenly looking fruits, my eyes lit up. Each and every one of the fruits assembled on the patterned plate was seductive in its own way and looked rather inviting. However, my eyes lingered on one particular fruit; it is called the dragon fruit which tastes oh so wonderful. It does, in a way, look sort of like a dragon with fusia like skin color with many fin-like leaves attached to its body and they sort of resembled fish fins to me. Anyhow, with just the first bite, I was seduced by it’s sweetness but there was something else. I started to search for its distinct flavor. As my tongue bonded with the partly smooth and partly rough flesh of the dragon fruit, I was amazed. It was sweet, yet sour, but then again kind of milky, and oh I mustn’t forget about the juicy and thirst quenching part of it. The dragon fruit did not have a distinct flavor rather it is a combination of flavors working together to please every single one of my taste buds. The flavors left my taste buds begging for more. Needless to say, I fell in love with it and ate to my heart’s content. I even skipped a few main courses and dive right into the other exotic fruits that captured my attention. Not only were they mouthwatering but they were also exquisitely beautiful. I ended up going back there two years later just to please my taste buds once more. But that isn’t enough; I’m planning to save up enough money for another trip this year. Oh the things I would do for these fruits.
