Canteen Molecular Gastronomy

This morning's conversation with the noodles auntie at the canteen (with whom I have a special bond):

Auntie: "Mee kiah ah? Ai tow-gay mai?"
Me: "Mai!"
Auntie: "Orh! (in Mandarin) I add some mee siam gravy to your chilli hor..."
(Proceeds to do it before I can say anything)
Me: "Orh!"
Auntie (giggling, in Mandarin): "I added the gravy to my own bowl just now hor and it was damn yummy!"
