Today, we planned to hang out with each other at a nice restaurant in town to celebrate our chosen big date. Unfortunately, it was raining heavily for a few hours until it was quite late at night to have our dinner. My hubby suggested to order authentic Thai cuisine from a Thai man who moved to Vietnam for twelve years and stayed in Nha Trang for two years that we had the chance to visit his restaurant last weekend with my parents.
Somehow, I just remembered an unexpected incident for our first experience to the man’s restaurant. He could speak Vietnamese quite well, that’s why I let him talk to the driver for bringing us to the correct destination since the address numbers on the street were a mess due to the new and old ones. The driver didn’t seem to understand and he was pissed off to say something not nice about this Thailand man while my phone was still on. When the driver handed over me the phone, I still heard the Thailand man said “If you want to come, welcome. Otherwise no need.” then hung up.
The driver and my parents judged this man was so weird or something, but I decided to call him once more time to ask him for the easier direction to go since I anyhow guessed he was not a true Vietnamese man. He also replied to me in a good manner that his Vietnamese was very limited and he couldn’t know all the remarkable places in the town to guide us. I must apologize to him and insisted him to show us by street names from the beach. Then we all made it.
Four of us came up to the third floor in a building to his small restaurant but with all the delicious dishes on which my mom kept complimented afterwards since she is a fan of spicy and tasty flavors. My hubby also made up with the man by all the jokes, compliments and nice words about cuisines, atmosphere there and certainly apology for the incident in our car that he had overheard.
Sometimes, anger could make you lose a lot of chances to discover more about someone or something else behind this person. That’s why I rarely judged anyone by what I could see on the surface or have so little information to assume the whole picture.
Last night, we called him to order a few dishes as dinner at home due to the rain which made my mood too low to dress up and go out. To our surprise, he made all the ordered dishes and delivered them to us under the rain, even rode inside to the lane, in front of our gate to pass to my hubby so that we didn’t catch any raindrops. The bill was even cheaper than how we had calculated and free shipping.
We were wondering how come this man was so enthusiastic and nice to us. Thanks to him, we had a nice meal at home, talked together and still had mood to share our lovely stories and thoughts about people, life and all the good things behind someone else. We did talk about this man and how much we were grateful for his kindness. Without him, we could not enjoy our time at home like that.
What you see is not what you get. If we considered him as an annoying man last time like the way the driver had judged, maybe we have missed to know such a good man like this who can manage to deliver all the good authentic Thai cuisine in Vietnam. I’m grateful to know more and learn more about those who are very dedicated and use their heart to deliver their products to customers like this man.
Respect,
