Bangkok Shock: Prawn or Pork?

Posted by Mr.Keropok


Was in Bangkok over the past three days and one thing that simply amazes me was the yummy food! Gosh! Check out those Phad Thai (Thai kuay tiao), Thai fried rice, Papaya salad and really sweet drinks! Haha.. talking about food, there were some hilarious jokes through this trip.

On the airplane to Bangkok, an interesting conversation took place with the air stewardness:

"Good morning Sir... Would you like to have pork noodle or omelette?"

"Pork noodle please. Thank you."

After lifting the aluminium foil.... *shell shocked look on face*

"Oh... So in thailand, noodles equal to CHEE CHEONG FUN!!!!!" *we laughed our heads off*

After 5 minutes into the meal.... we were scratching our heads wondering where is the pork in this PORK noodles?

"Oh my gosh! We didn't understand the air stewardness well. It was actually PRAWN noodles instead of PORK noodles!" *we almost fell off our chairs*

Stay tuned & watch out for more cultural shocks in the coming posts... *hiak hiak hiak*
