What? Apa Ini?
Overheard this at KFC today.
Lady: "set 2."
Counter guy: "ok."
lady: "da bao." ("da bao" means to take away in chinese.)
Counter guy: "huh?"
lady: "da bao!"(starts to give an irritated look.)
Counter guy: "what? sorry...?"
The customer starts to get reallly frantic.
lady:"DA BAO. DA BAO!!!!"
The counter guy is rather taken aback by the sudden influx of foreign language and turns to ask his friend about what she had just said.
Counter guy: " She said she wants err... da bor."("da bor" is hokkien for male.)
Counter girl: "da bor?!" (look of bewilderment.)
She ponders upon this interesting fact for a while then focuses onto the lady at the counter who apparently has gone quite hysterical.
lady( frantically waving her arms): " DAAA BAO! DA BAO!"
Counter girl: "oh... she means da bao. Its takeaway."
The counter guy procedes to take out plastic bags which seem to have a very calming effect on the exhausted lady.
I'm terribly amused.
Whilst My friend Andrew is trying pathetically to stifle his laughs.
Note: The lady is a Chinese national, the counter guy is an indian and the counter girl is chinese.
