no wonder the hongkies couldn't get my cantonese!

Proofs that my Cantonese skills have deteriorated :

Last week while trying to tapau some chee cheong fun for lunch, the lady spoke back to me in English as she tried to clarify that I really did want the 3 rolls of chee cheong fun with the stuffed brinjal and fried thingys.

This week while buying back some Hakka mee for lunch, also at the same USJ2 Chinese hawker restaurant, the guy asked me if I was from Johor Bahru, and if I was studying here at the local college.


tapau : take away
chee cheong fun : Chinese flat noodles, white & made of rice (?)
