Gals bits

An ang moh told me what he had to eat for cny.

Him: We had the dept CNY lunch today � some interesting things that wouldn�t be out of place on Extreme Gourmet (which was gross last night � think the gal really enjoyed eating the bulls penis)

Me: ooooo you ate interesting stuff for your cny lunch? What did you have exactly?

Him: Yep the tossing thing, some fish, a cute lil� piglet�s skin, some soup with no taste, a big prawn, some veg with seafood bits that looked like a gals bits, some cakes or rather kway and a green sugar ball in almond flavoured milk.

Me: I like your description of the vege dish...the "gals bits" is black and looks like hair? Thats a vege not seafood though...its called a hair vege (typically translated) and cannot be harvested anymore in the world.

Him: Ok, trying to be delicate here. Yep we had the hairy bits, but there were some brown bits that I initially thought were mushrooms. However, they tasted of seafood and when I picked them up they opened up slightly like�.. you get the picture!

It turned out the gals bit that he ate was chopped up dried oysters :P

Now I know what to tell the maid if I ever wanted her to cook dried oysters....
