daylight robbery!!! but i fell for it willingly~
i was halfway thru spring cleaning ytdy when i suddenly crave for pineapple tarts... not juz ordinary pineapple tarts, but Bengawan Solo Pineapple Tarts. So i told my mum:
"mamee ah, later on in the evening u wanna go Northpoint? i wanna buy pineapple tarts from Bengawan Solo."
Notice tt i didn't ask my mum to buy instead. i was feeling generous then. anyway my mum's eyes noticeably lit up, but paused abit before she replied:
"hmmm... actually i also craving for Kueh Bangkit from Bengawan Solo also..."
"ok lah. i buy them together later on. u wanna come with me?"
i was really feeling generous.
"ok... actually i also thinking of bringing the bah kua to grandma... u wanna accompany me there? there also got Bengawan Solo. "
I shall skip all these not impt minor details. Basically I agreed, later on regretted, tried to talk my way out of it, but still ended up at my grandma's place.
AT BENGAWAN SOLO: Searching around for BS Pineapple Tarts
"eh? dun haf leh... sold out liao ar?"
"issit? ask aunty lah."
"aunty, Pinapple Tarts 在那里?"
“neh 在这里 lo.”
i was looking at boxes of pineapple tarts enclosed in a green paper cardboard. Quite different package from the one i remembered. Anyway i glanced at the price... OMG!!! $18 and $27 (approximate prices) ??? So ex!!! and why the 2 boxes look the same from outside but got different prices?
so i ask again:
"aunty, 这个跟这个有什么不同？"
"这个 premium 是最新的。今年出的。里面比较多filling"
i stunned abit, den my eyes drifted upon the price tag infront of the smaller box tt says $11. then i glance at my mum...
unfortunately, she said:
"get the premium box la!"
I stared at her, wide-eyed. half a sec later, i began to shake my head.
She stared at me. i knew i had to compromise. So i took the big, non-premium
box.
As i was heading for the cashier, my mum headed for the Kueh Bangkit section. I secretly peeped at the prices... $11 each. darn. But my mum seems unsatisfied with the condition of the kuehs in the boxes, so i tot i escaped. I was actually consoling myself on tt point, when my mum suddenly say she'll want instead a box of cookies with cashew nuts. Imagine the blow it was to me.
Anyway, i spent almost $30 on intangible, bio-degradeble stuff becoz of my fleeting craving. I muz make it worth my money man. So guess wat? After test tasting the box of Pineapple Tarts i sealed back the container with the tape and put it back into the package -- pretending tt it has never been open. Next, i released news tt NO ONE is to touch the box b4 CNY. at least now i am guaranteed a few pieces of the tarts~ buahahaha...
anyway, the Bengawan Solo Pineapple Tarts do live up to its name... its NICE!!!
