$43 hawker stand

2 grilled barbecue tiger prawns, kai lan in oyster sauce, spicy mixed noodle thing, lime juice (another $2)

Slight (ahem) communication problem with the guy there who, against regulation, was touting when I walked up, obviously looking extremely white. I didn't want all of what I got, but somehow methinks he conveniently didn't understand the change of mind I made during ordering. Wasn't bad, but wasn't worth S$43. A meal of satay, 2 kinds of veggies and bee hoon goreng for 3 people only ran S$36 over at Clark Quay.

A learning experience, I suppose. Must learn how to say "Go away, I don't want what you have to offer" in Singlish.
