Ordering Fast Food Malaysian Style
Life will inevitably bring along it’s little frustrations. We have found though that when we live in a culture different to our own, it has a habit of presenting us with a few more frustrations that we would usually face.
Here’s a little exchange that occurred between my husband and the Malay owner of a small Malaysian style ‘fast food’ store.
My husband: “Do you have spicey chicken?”
Store owner: (enthusiastic with a big smile) “Spicey chicken got”.
My husband: “Do you have fried chicken?”
Store owner: (Big smile) “Fried chicken got”.
My husband: “Do you have plain chicken?”
Store owner: ( Big smile and vigorous nod of the head) “Plain chicken got”.
My husband: “Then I will have six pieces of plain chicken”.
Store owner: (Enthusiasm unabated) “Plain chicken not got”. !!!!
Ah the joys!
