Char Koay Teow Tuesdays
Last night I went to the usual coffee shop in Island Glades to ta pow my lunch for today and was warmly greeted by the guy selling char koay teow.
"The usual? Just eggs and prawns and no vegetables whatsoever?" he asked.
Looks like I’ve been buying from him often enough for him to remember my requirements. But then non vegetarians, we are a rare breed.
"Yeah, you remember!" I smiled sweetly at him hoping he’ll throw in some extra prawns for me.
"You come here to ta pow my char koay teow every Tuesday, of course I remember", he said.
Huh!? Really? Every Tuesday? I know I ta pow his char koay teow at least once a week, but every Tuesday? I don’t keep a record of where I ta pow my food from and when.
So in the end yeah, he did throw in an extra prawn for me or two
Same time next week, huh, Uncle?
