this afternoon I went to the hawker centre near my place to eat lunch alone. then my housemate messaged me to buy and 打包两个白鸡腿 for her.
so I went to the chicken rice stall and asked aunty to 打包两个白鸡腿. she said wait, got to ask her husband who was the chopper inside. he told the wife cannot. can only buy one boiled drumstick and one roast drumstick because i wasn't buying rice together with the drumsticks. i told her then i am not buying and walked away to another stall to dabao.
his shop is full of steamed chickens, got at least 10 to 15 hanging there. why can't he sell me two boiled chicken drumsticks???
puzzling boomer hawker style to me...
can anyone explain why? i am still troubled by this incident...
