Crazy hand

The glass of cham ping (iced mixed coffee and tea - MYR2 ) is not mine. The plate of economy rice (chap fan) next to it is mine. My right hand suddenly developed a will of its own and kept on taking more and more petai (stinky beans) until I had to walk away. Luckily the price was only MYR7.50 nett. Petai is supposed to be expensive.

  1. Yes, they cost a bomb these days. RM5, you get a mere fistful at the market here these days, peeled. Must be the word going round that they're good for health. People shouldn't say things like that - will shoot up the price instantly. :(

    1. I guess next time you can't even take the squid if you don't want your pee to smell of petai, hehehe.

  3. Hahah...that is a lot of petai! I normally prefer to eat petai at home. I am not comfortable with the smell of petai in the mouth when I am out. hehe

  5. For you, that is just a huge plate of FOOD!

    At first I thought your right hand was grabbing that glass of cham haha. I sometimes have to remind myself, when eating with colleagues, that the drink conveniently in my sight is NOT mine! (I seldom order a drink)

    1. Yes, it was and I had to persuade my spouse to help me finish it.

      I also do not order drinks. If eating noodle soup then it is ok but if eating dry food, may be a bit dry so have to use more saliva to down the food, hehehe.

    2. Hehehe... right on about the saliva! And with spicy food, eat carefully haha.

    3. Eating spicy food is the hardest without water, hehehehe.

    1. Did they provide all of you with a glass of water foc each? Good to know that all of you do not feel forced to order drinks when eating at Dave's Deli.

    2. no FOC glass of water. They have that fastfood concept way of ordering @ the counter. We just ordered our meal without drink coz we're bunch of stingy fella who prefers to get our drinks/coffee/tea at the office pantry, haha!

    3. I guess with free drinks at the office pantry, no point buying, can save some money.

    I guess seeing your favourite dish, you could not help yourself to it. ;)

  9. I was reading the comments about how you all don't order drinks when eating out. I bet the restaurants really hate you all (though they cannot show it lah). If I run a restaurant I will hate people like you all too hahaha! Drinks are the ones that are lucrative weh!

    1. You mean you got diarhoea after eating petai? How sure are you that the diarhoea is caused by petai and not some other food you ate?

  11. This is an interesting topic. It was the mixed rice lady boss who persuaded me to learn to eat petai for good health. She told me that the tastes of petai is so green and crunchy without bad odour. It is the only known vegetable that could help to cleanse the human's bladder effectively to prevent urine infections and gall bladder stone. When we urinate and it smells badly, it means our bladder is very dirty. She told me to eat her petai curry for 3 days and to pay attention to the urine smell. True enough, by the 3rd day it was not so smelly anymore. Bladder all cleansed.
