Auntie : "要喝設麼" (Want to drink what?)
girl : "Teh C" (Tea with evaporated milk; Don't ask me why 'Teh C' uses evaporated milk while 'Teh' uses condensed milk)
Auntie : "Plastic ah?"
By plastic, the auntie meant to ask whether the girl wanted to drink in the canteen or wanted it to go in a plastic bag. But the girl seem not to understand what 'plastic?' meant. The auntie seeing confusion, tried again.
Auntie : "妳要Teh C還是要Dey C?" (do you want Teh C or Dey C), she asked pointing at the fridge.
Now... Teh C and Dey C sounded exactly the same to me. So i thought maybe the auntie was referring to refrigerated Teh C in a can like nescafe in a can. Though personally, i've never seen Teh C or Kopi C in any sealed packets or cans.
More confusion.
To resolve the confusion once and for all, the auntie opened the fridge door, reached into the fridge and pulled out a packet of 'Daisy' milk.
Oh.. and today's coffee taste kind of bitter.
