This morning, I’ve ordered my breakfast by saying, “One Thosai with egg, one Teh Tarik siew dai.” The Indian man just nodded his head, understand my order.
In this multi-lingual and multi-dialects country, to order food is no big deal if you know our language. That depends if you have stayed here long enough to understand the cultural. Just sharing my little happiness starting my day. I have a fulfilled and well prepared meal to what I have wanted, after a 5 km brisk walk of exercise in a nearby park.
To those still who still do not know what I have for my breakfast:
From Google, Thosai is a South Indian savory, thin pancake made from a batter of various fermented pulses and rice flour, which is then cooked on a flat griddle. The dish is usually eaten at breakfast with accompaniments such as sambar (an Indian vegetable stew), curry and chutney.
Teh tarik is a popular hot milk tea beverage most commonly found in restaurants, outdoor stalls, mamaks and kopi-tiams within the Southeast Asian countries.
“Siew dai” is a Chinese dialect (Hainanese) name that we used to say less sugar.
