Muah : " I'm gonna try the sup campur with beehoon . What would you like to have ? "
Him : " Same lah....I'll have the same as you "
Muah : " Sure ah ? "
He nodded in agreement .
Not long later , the mixed bowl of beef offal soup with yellow coloured vermicelli arrived .
Not to say that his understanding of Malay was poor , he understood what Campur meant. However, the more he drank , the more he slowed down .
So I asked him " What's wrong ? "
Him : " These are beef BODY PARTS you know ? Every part of the cow is in this soup !!!"
Muah : " Oh come on....it's not THAT bad . Besides, the meat is fresh and most important of all , it doesn't smell like it's celebrated several birthdays at the bottom of a freezer "
Him : " I can't stand the jelly like parts "
Muah : " Oh you think that's bad ? "
( I should have pointed out the tongue at the counter to him. Big ass bad it was )
" Look over there where the tanks are . Wanna have those instead ? "
His eyes almost popped out and maybe he lost his appetite for good .
Fresh from the paddy fields.
Freshwater eels .
Which resemble snakes. Which we don't eat. Well maybe other Chinese do , just not us .
Yeah , don't put your foot in the rice fields if you don't know what lives there ( snakes , eels , snails , dung ) How the eels get in the waterways , I don't know but no matter how good they are for my health , I'm not having them in my soup . Na ah . No thank you .
Maybe when I'm up to it , I might give the Snakehead aka Haruan fish soup a try . The finned species that can walk on land .
You go ahead first .
Anyone ?
