Market adventures

This morning I bought some yao mak at the market. When I got home, I was shocked (and slightly horrified) to find that the vegetable seller had given me more than twice the amount of yao mak that I had selected.

Then I recalled that he had been weighing yao mak from a basket with only that vegetable, and then continued with my basket. He probably forgot about the other basket and thought that all the yao mak came from mine! (as in, I doubt I got the extra ones for free :P )

Why was I horrified? Because it looks like I will need to eat a lot more yao mak than expected this week...

Anyway, today seems to be a day where people at the market give me what I didn't want... I bought curry mee, telling them that I didn't want blood. But my packet still came with blood...

It could be because they gave my packet away to someone else, and by the time I finished buying my veggies and went back to get the noodles, they only had that left. In that case, it's a pity for the person who got my packet too!

About the curry mee, this is the second time in a row that they gave me a packet with blood even after I had said I didn't want blood. I miss my curry mee aunty...she has stopped selling since earlier this year (even before MCO started), so I am now settling for second-best.

This year has been a bad year for Relau hawker food. First my yong tau foo stall stopped selling, then the curry mee stopped selling. :( And neither of them happened because of the MCO!
