Are you bored of seeing western food posts?

Are you? Because here is another one:

Yesterday, my family and I went to Dezzert Lingo to eat our dinner. Dezzert Lingo is located at 384 East Coast Road, near Telok Kurau.

The newspapers said that their Fish & Chips there were very nice, so we decided to go there to eat. Outside of the shop was their food menu. We got a shock when we saw the prices of the food. Wow! A whole $10.00 for the Fish & Chips! Thats 65% more expensive than the one we had at Tim's!

Although the price was expensive, it had air-conditioning and there was a chalk board outside the shop, saying something like this:

soup of the day

+

Fish & Chips/(2 other main courses, I forgot.)

+

Tea/Coffee/Coke



ONLY $13.50!

Wow, I thought. The soup and breverages are so expensive! Nevertheless, we decided to give it a try.

We went in the store to see pastries, the cold ones in a cooler, the warm ones on top. To the right was a New Zealand ice-cream "store", one scoop $3.90, two scoops $4.90. The ice cream was also served in pints and quarts.

First, they brought 4 mugs with hot water after taking our orders (Water is complimentary, you can ask for more! :D).

After a while, they served us the soup of the day, mushroom soup. I looked at the soup and saw that the soup was actually half of the bowl!

I tasted some, and realised it was very thick, and that it tastes like cheese. I'd rather have a thinner soup with real mushroom taste.

Then, I thought: Now, where is the pepper and salt? I glanced around the table and realised quickly that they DIDN'T have any pepper nor salt.

Well, time for the main course to come. My main course was Fish & Chips. The tomato were cut into 2 wedges and the cucumber were nicely sliced into 3 halves so that you didn't have to stuff the vegetables in.

The cucumber were nicely stacked so they resembled part of a spiraling staircase. There was also shredded cabbage so you don't have to stuff the whole leaf in.

The chips were a little crispy no the outside and soft in the inside. There was little salt added to it.

Now for the fish. the fish was curled like a small, stationary wave at one end and flat at the other. A thin wedge of lemon was put beside it. I squeezed it over the fish and took a bite of the fish. The fish was very hot, the batter very crisp and the meat very springy. I took another bite with tar tar sauce and it was perfect. I had never eaten such nice fish before.

After everyone in my family finished their meal, they served us our breverages. I had ordered tea. The tea was placed in a mug with the same design as for the water. The level of the burning hot water was high, and the small teaspoon was nearly drowned.

The water was almost 1.5 cm from the top of the teaspoon. When I touched the top of it to stir my tea, it burnt my hand! I quickly took up the spoon and put it in my empty cup to let it cool. Maybe they should've used a longer handle or maybe they should've placed the spoon in some kind of servette, which they did earlier on with the serving of the mugs.

PSLE Marks

My heart was racing as I queued up to get my results slip from my form teacher. Numerous parents were standing outside, craning

Normally, I would get only 232++ in school for the aggregate score, but I was amazed when I got an aggregate of 248 for PSLE(Primary School Leaving Examination) !

I did very badly for my PSLE. My 2 compositions were in a mess. I thought I could only get at most 235, but I saw that my result slip shows 248! Why?

Some students in my school have higher marks than other schools, above average. That is why I could get so high. You see, if you are above average, your score will shoot up. If you are below average, your score will shoot down. If you are average, nothing happens to your score. It's like a "transfer" from below average to those above average.

A little bit like the reverse of "Robin Hood".
