My first meal in Batu Pahat today.
Chicken rice.
Me: "Char-siew-kai-fan"
Chicken rice man: Huh?? *thought for one minute* Oh! *translated in Hokkien*..
Me: Haha.. sorry! Sini cakap Hokkien, ya?
How embarassing. Trying out my Cantonese in a Hokkien-speaking territory.
But in the end I made a new friend, the chicken rice seller.. he kept trying to teach me more Hokkien after that!
The chilli they give you with the chicken rice was green in colour, and if you mixed it, you'll notice that there's kicap underneath it so everything turns black later. And the soup they serve is bak-kut-teh soup! Yummy!!
