Ninja sambal

I tapao-ed char mee suah for breakfast this morning. I took out the box (the transparent rectangular microwaveable box), opened it, then looked back in the plastic bag for the sambal. No sambal. I guess they forgot it. I happened to have some sambal in the fridge, so I used that. When I had almost finished eating, I saw that the bottom of the transparent box was reddish. Did they mark it red with a marker pen? I lifted the box to see the bottom, and...the sealed packet of sambal was stuck to the bottom of the box, right inside the slightly raised groove under the box.

I guess the sambal was a ninja master in training…very well hidden indeed. (and think about those movies where some giant might lift up the box under which our hero is hiding…and the hero stays hidden because they are using their hands and feet to keep themselves “glued” to the sides of the box…)
