Yesterday, margie and I were out, and (more about the outing next time if I feel like it, heh) we went to eat apple strudel when we walked past bugis.

So technically, we’re supposed to be eating apple strudel, at that shop opposite bugis junction. We were debating on whether to get a half strudel to share, or buy two slices. The auntie there insisted that half strudel is more worth it, and under my confusion (I seriously remember my parents buying an entire strudel and gobbling it up within the three of us o_o guess that’s why I’m this size HAH.), we bought it. Take note here that we were debating if we should have  a half or sliced strudel, it was never about the flavours.

margie went to the washroom, and I stared around the shop (there’s a gigantic mona lisa picture there) and when I turned back, I realised that the auntie had cut the strawberry strudel instead.

So here we go,

me: auntie, we wanted apple strudel leh..
auntie: huh, you two pointed at the strawberry one what. I cut already lor.
me: but we told you apple, not strawberry.
auntie: I asked you strawberry or not. you said “ah. strawberry.”
me: no I didn’t. but sorry anyway if you heard wrongly?
auntie: somemore you SEE ME CUTTING. *raises voice*
me: I didn’t.
auntie: aiya, apple one not nice one la. strawberry nicer. eat strawberry.
*margie comes out of washroom*
me: margie she cut strawberry leh.
margie: huh?
me: ya.
margie: uh.
me: ya. how.
margie: do we look like we have a choice??!
me: no.
margie: then ok lor.
me: ok. *to auntie* ok lor.
auntie: really la, the apple one hor eat alr will sian one. the strawberry one won’t. eat strawberry one, maybe you all will like. Sorry ok. sorry. sorry.
us: ……

Firstly, what seriously appalled me was that the first thing that came out of her mouth was that she cut already, and that it’s our fault for pointing. So she didn’t hear us say? Because why? She was listening to the 4D  results playing at the background. And besides, secondly. What’s up with saying that you own food is not nice and “eat already will sian”  just to push the other flavour to us? It’s not only rude but it’s also seriously dumb to say that. Are you telling me that next time, I should not eat the apple flavour? But I only LIKE the apple flavour. So how? And why didn’t you tell the other customers coming in later that “apple one eat already will sian”?

I mean, granted, yes she said sorry. But it came too late, and I seriously felt like a  13$ wasted. I wonder if it would have been better if we left without even eating the strawberry strudel. But then again, I am a cheapo and I don’t have the seh to just walk out you know?

So it’d be the last time I’d be eating at the stall. Please speak super loudly to the auntie if you’re going there though. Oh and remember, apple eat already very sian one. Eat strawberry.
