No stranger…

My sis bought the chai peah (Chinese vegetable pancake) from here…

…one day and gave my girl two. Personally, I was not into those, the ones that I had had before but anyway,  since my girl enjoyed them so much, the other day, I stopped  by there to buy some more for her.

There were only three left…

…but the nice young guy was good enough to fry some more…

…for me.

He also sells sweet potato fritters, fried fish balls and popiah (spring roll). I heard people saying that the latter was very nice but I did try it before and no, I was not in the least impressed – nowhere near the ones that I make myself but then again, his is only RM1.00 each. Even those around RM3.00 in Kuching, these and these, are not up to my standard. Hehehehehe!!!

Once he was done, I took my order from him and paid him the money. “谢谢, 老师!” (Thank you, teacher!) he said, taking me by surprise or at least, that was what I thought he said. Hmmm…obviously I was no stranger to him and yes, he did look kind of familiar, possibly a student in a school where I was teaching but I don’t think I taught him. I had to go some place after that so I just let it be – maybe I’ll ask him the next time I drop by.

I tried the chai peah when I got home and yes, it was indeed very very nice. I will certainly be back for more!
