"Uncle, one small bowl of noodles, dry."
"With added extra beef balls for the noodles."
"And one additional LARGE beef balls side order."
The food came. They were no added beef balls and the side order was a small bowl of beef balls.
"Uncle, I ordered for extra beef balls and a LARGE bowl of beef balls as side order."
"Harr? Miss, you sure arrr??? It's a lot of beef balls you know...."
"Yes, yes."
As the sister ate when the added and larger version arrived, all the waiters and the owner of the beef ball noodles store stared at my sister in amazement and amusement.
Such a thin girl like her, and all dressed up like a lawyer can actually eat so much. That much.
The next time...
"Uncle, one dry noodles with added beef balls and an extra LARGE bowl of beef balls for side order."
"Okay!"
Today:
"Okay, give us 2 LARGE bowls of beef balls only. And another LARGE bowl of tripe. [A bowl of tripe is where you have a combination of 2 types of beef meat, cow's stomach and beef balls.]"
They brought us 2 normal bowls of beef balls and another normal bowl of tripe. It was just me and my mom this time.
Fine. We didn't realise it was the normal-sized bowl. So we just ate.
"Uncle, can we have another LARGE bowl of beef balls?"
"Harr?? Large one arr??"
"YES!"
Finally, the big blue bowl of beef balls arrived. With a huge stack of spinach on top. It was heaven.
At 4.30 pm, the sister walked in.
She ordered:
"Uncle, one LARGE bowl of beef balls for side order please."
The waiters and the owner laughed. No wonder this mother and daughter came in and ordered so much. Because they were related to the first customer, the elder sister, who was a major fan of their beef balls.
We were after that treated like royalties.
People often wondered, how can a small family of four, who don't look very fat, who are relatively thin, and always dressed up so nicely can always eat so much?
Oh well, you should know how much of apple cider with vinegar we drink after the meal.
Today, was a breakthrough day. Mom actually drove to KL!! With, of course, a few panicked, sharp orders for directions and all.
It was a lot of fun. The dad was greatly amused listening to our adventure and knowing how bimbotic we can be sometimes.
Oh, and did I tell you that my sis and I only woke up at 1.30 pm? And the sis found out that her seminar was 3 pm instead of 5 pm?
Yes, this is how I live my life these days. Relaxed, entirely unorthodoxed and playful.
