"Dei, Kurang Manis La..."

Few day ago I drop by my old time favorite mamak stall - Maju & Maju.


The place has change a lot since last year, new blue plastic chair, surround sound system for their TV, older workers had been replace by newer ones and you can no longer get 2 piece of 'papadam' when you order rice. =(

As usual I sat at the same table that I always do.


-The waiter walks over-

Me: "Dei, kasi kopi-o-ice kurang manis satu." (Hey, give me ice coffee less sugar with no milk)

Waiter: "Kopi-o-ice kurang manis." (Ice coffee less sugar with no milk.)

Me: "Dan roti kosong banjir." (And roti canai with the sauce poured on it)

Waiter: "Kopi-o-ice kurang manis dan roti kosong banjir?" (So is it ice coffee less sugar with no milk and roti banjir?)

Me: "Ya." (Yes)



-Few min later, the waiter walks over with a rather not familiar cup of drink on his hand-

Me: "Dei, kopi-o-ice bukan teh ice la." (Hey, I said coffee with no milk not ice tea la.)

Waiter: *Shows his tulan face & walks off*


After some time the food came. This is one of my favorite ways to eat roti canai, with those yumm yumm 'kua' already poured on, save time and trouble.


As I was enjoying my coffee, I notice something...


WHAT THE HECK! I SAID FREAKING 'KURANG MANIS' RITE?


He ended up giving me more sugar then usual.

Blardy new worker...
