Bewildered

My dad, mom and I went out for dinner today at a nearby restaurant. When the waitress came and ask us for our order, my dad turned and asked me,

Dad : What to eat?

I just shrugged.

My dad turns to the waitress and ordered a plate of 'ying-yong'. Then, he turns back to me and ask, 'Anything else ? Hokkien mee ?'

Me : Er... 'man yee-mee' (braised yee-mee) !

Dad : Man yee-mee?! The 'ying-yong' already got sauce, you want to order another 1 with sauce?

Me : *long stare at my dad* Then, order Hokkien mee-loh.

Dad : Ok, 1 Hokkien mee.

WTH?! I didn't know that the restaurant serves Hokkien mee in fried bi-hun style?! They serve Hokkien mee without sauce, is it?! I was like totally dumbfounded when he gave that ridiculous remark. Even if Hokkien mee really comes in dry, which is totally absurd, what's wrong with eating 2 dishes with sauce? Does it mean that if a meal comes with soup, the other dishes must be super dry till their water content is all drained out? =.=

Its also kinda like I have 3 choices of drinks; Coke, Pepsi and 100-plus. After finishing my coke, when I'm about to pick up 100-plus to drink, somebody stops me and say, 'You drank coke which is so sweet already, you still want to drink 100-plus ah? Drink the Pepsi instead-lah.' Pepsi has a new bitter flavour, is it? If yes, do not even bother to recommend it to me, thank you ... Lame example, I know but please bear with me because I couldn't think of any better example. Lol.

Anyway, my folks really tick me off sometimes with their foolish reasonings.

In the end, the Hokkien mee came out with as much sauce as the plate could fit.

Choppy,
