| 2007-06-25 : Hokkien Mee
So there I was, buying hokkien mee for dinner at the hawker centre, and I tell the lady that the last few times I asked her not to add sotong, there was sotong in the pack nonetheless? And she gets like totally worked up and like goes �dude, but we note what you order on a piece of paper!� and I�m like �but I ATE it!� and she�s like �woah you must be kidding that�s impossible� and then gestures again to the paper as well as the And by now I�m like �dude, whatever you say, I�ve been eating sotong! Eating it! So like somehow the sotong is getting in, even if you�re not putting it in.� So she�s got like nothing to say, cos like it�s obvious I can�t be eating not-sotong? So anyway she made a Serious Note in her notebook and went on dishing out the hokkien mee. When I returned to take the mee, as she handed me the packet she said �no sotong ah! Two packets without sotong!� to which I cheerfully gave my most airheaded �thankeww� and walked off home, Actually I don�t mind the sotong and the packets weren�t for me, AND you can simply pick out the sotong while you�re eating, but it was the principle of the matter! I mean, what if some guy�s sotong-allergic and you give him hokkien mee with sotong inside and he goes home and finds that he can�t eat it? That would be TERRIBLE. He might starve to death!
