This is a place that I hope, even with Samui&#8217;s ever-changing landscape, stays open forever.  And ever.  \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But before we get to the review, a quick quiz\u2026\u2026what was the best sit-com from the 1980\u2019s?&nbsp; Please don\u2019t say Growing Pains or Full House, as I would lose too much respect for you. &nbsp;Night Court?&nbsp; WKRP in Cincinatti?&nbsp; Maybe\u2026.both were excellent, and Johnny Fever may be my favorite sit-com character of all time.&nbsp; But neither of them is correct. &nbsp;Nor was it Family Ties, and it certainly wasn\u2019t Alf!&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m sure those of you who, like me, are children of the 80\u2019s, have already guessed it.\u00a0 Cheers, of course!\u00a0 Here\u2019s a little trip down memory lane for ya:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div

Eung\u2019s Restaurant is the little place is the North-East of Samui where everybody knows your name.\u00a0 It\u2019s the local hangout of the growing communities of Plai Lem and Choeng Mon.\u00a0 And it\u2019s probably the one restaurant I\u2019ve been to more than any other over the years in Samui.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is it the absolute best food you\u2019ve ever had?\u00a0 No, but it\u2019s damn good.\u00a0 Is it the cheapest place you can find?\u00a0 No, but it\u2019s pretty damn cheap, and provides amazing value.\u00a0 So what is it about this place that makes it so special?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\"

him tell you that!\u00a0 And\u2026.he makes his place fun and easy to hang out.\u00a0 Go here for lunch, dinner, or just a couple of drinks in the afternoon or evening.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been here when

indoor\/outdoor and probably has about a dozen tables in total.\u00a0 When there, you will often find local members of the expat community who live in the area popping in, which is always a good sign that a place is worth visiting.\u00a0 And every time one of the locals shows up, immediate laughter and good times erupt with Mr. Eung at the center of it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On this particular day, we went in as a group of 4 for dinner.\u00a0 I was with 2 of my buddies who live in Plai Lem and a 3<sup>rd<\/sup> guy who seems to be staying in
