Blazing hot afternoon, lunch time, in a restaurant lining up in sweaty shirt for my turn to pack my lunch. There is this guy in front of me is ordering his dishes to the kakak at the back of the stall.

“Ayam goreng”, the kakak put one piece of fried chicken into a pack of rice wrapped by brown paper with banana leafs.

“Ubi kentang”, she scoops some potatoes and added on top of the rice.

“Telur dada”

She paused for a moment while looking at this guy’s eyes. Then she looked down and smile while taking a piece of malay styled omelette, telur dadar, add on top of the potatoes she added in earlier and  she wrap up the brown paper and put it into a plastic bag.

This reminds me of once a famous politician with his famous phrase,

“Jangan hisap dada” on a anti drug campaign.

I couldn’t agree more.
