Two lanky white men walked into this crumbling dinner shack on stilts yesterday. I heard one of them say
" Geep mi yor besd " with a big grin, in all good intention.
The local Mandarin speaking waiter shot him a blank look and started squirming about trying to look like he knew what he just said, without giving the game up.
The taukehsoh ( ladyboss) soon stepped in and asked
in English
" So what you want ? Cheeken ? Feeeshhh ? Where gee ? "
They nodded at all three and left the cooking all up to her.
Gee...no they shouldn't have left it to the ladyboss to recommend. Especially when they themselves eat spicy stuff and think you, would prefer less, um, stimulating dishes.
But let's forget those two for a moment and take a look at my meal first.
Butter prawn with slightly crisp egg batter , sugar granules and bayleaf. Tasty but a bit overdone . My biggest gripe is that the prawn was way too small for a dish like this and nobody in the kitchen had the courtesy to warn us beforehand.
