2010-10-31 : Nasi Lemak
Today I went to the market and attempted to buy Nasi Lemak from one of the hawkers.. They have a $1 set which includes fish, ikan bilis, peanuts and egg.

Gan: $1 set please!
Hawker: No more fish
Gan: Okay, then just give me more of the ikan bilis and peanuts
Hawker: ?????? what?
Gan: I'll take the $1 set, but since you don't have fish, you could put more ikan bilis and peanuts.
Hawker: -Confers with other hawker-
Gan: Since you don't have fish, you can put in more ikan bilis and peanuts to make up for it!
Hawker: -exchanges a glance with other hawker and laughs- It's a "this kid doesn't understand how this works, lol" sort of look
Hawker: boy, the amount of ikan bilis and peanut our $1 nasi lemak is fixed! Can't be changed!
Gan: -_- wut are you serious? *decides not to say any more*
Gan: Ok I'd like to add extra peanuts and ikan bilis, then.
Hawker: -looks puzzled-
Boss: Just give him more, and charge him $1.30
Hawker: -still looks puzzled, but does as boss says. Has a very 'what the heck are these people doing' face.-
Gan: -_________-

It was moderately annoying when they laughed at me like I didn't get it.
