we found something amazing here in phuket thailand
we're at the hog's head pub straight out of harry potter
let's go inside and i'll show you something even more magical
before you even go inside
you know there's so many different harry potter references
i can see shrunken heads like they have in the night bus
there's a nimbus 2000
the amazing broomstick
i noticed some pixies like we see in defense against the dark arts
and there's even a tiny little owl which looks like pig
let's go in
one of the most magical things about it here
is that they accept cryptocurrency
how crazy is that
so we're going to order some food and drinks
and we're going to be paying for it in ust
ust is an algorithmic stable coin pegged to the us dollar
if you've heard of luna or the terra network
then you probably already know what ust is
it's the world's fourth largest stable coin
so pretty soon it could be everywhere
trust a harry potter cafe to be the first one to get in on it right
now let's go buy some food and drinks with our cryptocurrency
so obviously i'm gonna be buying some butter beer today
i'm really excited to try it
another cool thing i noticed here is there's a massive hogshead hanging up right behind the bar
so cool
there's other really cool details in here as well
there's a really massive dragon skeleton hanging from the ceiling
and you've probably noticed the lighting as well
it really sets a mood we feel like we're in somewhere really dark and cold
like somewhere that's in diagon alley
it's awesome
so i'm just going to open up terra station now
and i'm going to pay for this with cryptocurrency
okay sorry it's my first time
that's okay it's my first time
it's so cool
so i just got a butter beer and a cake
and the total was 672 ust
pure magic right
so you can either choose to eat inside
or you can come on out for the full diagon alley experience
this is amazing
it's like you've just used some floo powder and been completely transported to diagon alley
this is so cool
this is a great photo location
i think the one right behind me is inspired by borgan and burke's
the shop where draco malfoy goes to practice his vanishing cabinet skills
it's really impressive
there are so many little details
i can see skeletons on one side
and on the other side there are more shrunken heads
like the ones that are in the night bus
it's so impressive
and on this side we have another amazing shop front
i think this one is inspired by olivander's wand shop
it says that they create wands here
so that seems about right
it really looks a lot like olivander's shop
it's really cool
it's really beautiful and it definitely looks like something you find in diagon alley
the funny thing about this very dark building
is it's actually the toilets just through those doors
there's a whole second floor to the hog's head
so we're gonna head up there now
you're meant to be able to get a really good view of the dragon skeleton up here
there's an absolutely massive dragon behind me
it has huge horns
and it looks a bit like the hungarian hornblower that harry fights in the goblet of fire
it's so big
like i have no idea how they got it up here
but it's so cool
and i love it that there's a second floor so you can be completely level with it
taking in all those details
there are loads of huge gargoyles up here as well
i really love the werewolf one
i feel like it's a nice little tribute to professor lupin
so i decided to get two different types of cake
this one is a young coconut cake
and this one is key lime
what i really love about this one though
is it has a slytherin inspired logo on the top of it
that's so cool
i also just had to get a butterbeer to try
whenever i read the books the thought of butterbeer makes my mouth water
so there we go
we're gonna try some today
first up let's try some of the young coconut cake
oh the spoon goes right in really easily
it looks so creamy
it's really creamy and really coconutty
it has like pieces of desiccated coconut in it
and it's really great
the texture's lovely
that's really good
it's so soft and so creamy
that's really really tasty
now let's try some of this delicious looking slytherin cake
it almost looks a bit like a giant macaroon
it's quite hard and crumbly on the outside
and the green lime is a bit more soft
that's a big bite
let's try it
that is so good
wow that's so good
it's so limey
like the taste of lime is so strong
we ate key lime pie a few years ago in miami
and this reminds me so much of it
the taste is amazing
i love the textures as well
the inside is so soft and the outside so hard
it's really really good
that's so tasty now
let's try some of the famous butterbeer
that's good
that's really creamy
it's like sweet but not too sweet
you know like you get the liquid coming through
and you get a bit of sweetness from the cream at the top
really buttery nice and creamy but that's really good
i've always wanted to try it
i feel like it's a life goal complete
cheers
thanks for experiencing the magic with me
i'll catch you in the next one
