So my Landlord and I went down to get some dinner last night. We went to a Chinese food stall where you basically get a plate of rice and then you just point to whatever you want..siis; chicken, fish, vege-whatever. It's all cooked up like normal Chinese food (with all kinds of sauces etc.) so you can't always know exactly what you'r gettin'...case in point:
Me (to the worker): Hi, I'll have that and that.
Landlord: Oh, that sweet and sour pork is really good here.
Me: Yeah, I'm not too adventurous, I just like the normal Chinese food you know?
Landlord: Yeah.. the food here can get pretty strange.
Me (to the worker): and I'll take that one too...
Landlord: Oh yeah, and that pork liver you just chose is also pretty good here.
Me: Uh.. oh.... yeah, pork liver? yeah.. (nervous laugh) it's pretty good. :/
So you can imagine what was still on my plate when we left.
So, Singaporean tips from Homegirl: always ask what you're eating.
