Antz sew (I)

And so,

Last Saturday night, me and my parents went to this apartment place in Taipan for dinner.
We go to this place alot for a few reasons.
Mainly, they have nice fish dishes, about the only thing my dad can/should eat these days...(oh the woes of the aged...)
and Also, cause they speak English.

;)

Its terribly hard for my family to go out for dinner in KL. My family members either dun noe ANY chinese, or only noe a dialect that is not Cantonese.
And when its not cantonese, nobody here understands!!!

U noe, there was this once that we went to this hawker place and tried to order porridge.
The lady couldnt understand my mandarin n I couldnt understand her cantonese!
So how did we solve the problem???
My dad told me what he wanted in English,
I told this other hawker in mandarin,
He pass on the order to the porridge lady in cantonese,
who answered the hawker in cantonese,
who explained to me in mandarin,
n I translated back to my dad back in English!

Wooooh! ;)

NEwayz! so back at the apartment place, my dad ordered pomfret TeoChew style! Yummy! ;)
I heard my parents complaining about the dish when in came, but i wasnt really paying much attention. It seemed perfectly fine to me!!
In Fact! I usually save my rice to eat with other dishes, and only a little fish (not a fishfan) but this time, I was enjoying the fish way too much that I didnt even stop after id finished my rice.
Happily downing the gravy i was when the lady came up to my table, n my parents started telling her that the fish was not fresh.
She agreed regretfully saying she had noticed something was wrong, n i watched as her hands fell on the dish.
My mouth opened n i started to gap...
She was about to take my fish away!!!
She started apologising n explaining to my parents, as the fishdish waivered in the air....
I stared at it shocked...gaping....I wanted to tell her to put my fish down! In fact, i remember stuttering and gesturing for her to leave my fish alone! But nobody was paying much attention to me...

Finally, she took my fish away from me!
I turned to my parents n whined! "What was wrong with the fish!?!?!"
"It wasnt fresh."
"Where Got?!?!"
"The meat tasted funny..."
"but...But......That was like, the most fish I've ever had in one go la!!!"
