I almost forgot about an incident during the CNY. It was yet another story about kuay teow (please refer to the the kuay teow man in my previous post).
After some discussion about the world economy (*Ahem* You know what I mean) with friends until late at night during CNY. We decided to drop by to this kuay teow place to take a late supper because we were exhausted during the 10 hours debate about the world economy. Unfortunately, that place wasn’t opened so we just went off to a mamak store nearby to fill our hunger.
A very lonely old man was sitting next to us and he heard our conversation about wanting to take kuay teow but it wasn’t opened, and he started to tell us stories about kuay teow. The most funny thing is that he was basically talking to himself and told us how good it was to add extra garlic to the fried kuay teow. He ranted and raved for more than 15 minutes, and we practically ignored him. Finally, he went quiet and we went on with our business to harrass the roti canai (local indian bread), nasi lemak (oil yrice?), and teh tarik(pulled tea).
Then one of our idiot friends, Shawn, whispered to Ivan and asked him how can we add ice to a kuay teow. Well, in Cantonese, the pronounciation for garlic and ice are pretty similar. But the uncle overheard the comment and started to tell us it wasn’t ice that make a good kuay teow but extra garlic. Then he said something about not wanting us to get confused or people might laugh at us.
We couldn’t help it but laughed until we had stomach cram. After the laughing, we proceeded with kicking Shawn’s ass and threw him into the drain nearby after the uncle kept ranting and raving about garlic with kuay teow for the next 10 minutes.
The last part is not true, but the uncle did rant about it for 10 minutes…
