There is an Indian coffee shop next to my shop and the kids love the pink drink called "air bandung", or rose flavoured milk. So there was once Annie wanted to order a glass and I said she could if she went and asked for it herself. So she asked me what the drink is called and I told her:
Mum: Air bandung
After a while, she forgot what I said and asked again
Annie: what was it again mum? Air kosong? *
Mum: Okay, you go and try ordering air kosong and see what you get! :)
* plain water
Yesterday, we were in the car and Annie said she wanted Kung Kung to buy the pao (steamed bun) with the red meat filling. She wanted to know what it was called so she could tell Kung Kung.
Annie: What is the pao with the red meat inside called?
Mum: Char sio pao
Annie: Oh, okay.
After a while she asked again.
Annie: What was it again? Chao tar pao?**
Mum no reply... too busy laughing!!
** burnt bun
