Another interesting recipe was posted in the noxxa wasap group and I decided to try it out. On the way home, I looked for everything needed to make a yummy "mee siam" at a Mamak grocery shop. Yes, found everything except for Kuchai leaves.   Actually, it was rather embarassing but I really could not differentiate between these leaves  and leeks. So before paying up, I sheepishly asked, " Bro, selling Kuchai leaves?" "Yea, it's right there, " and he pointed at a shelf lined with all sorts of vegetables. Since I did not know which one he was pointing at, my ego replied loudly, " On second thought,  thanks but no thanks. I ’ll buy some other time!" And I thought that was it. But, what do you know!! He asked another worker to get one stack from the fridge thinking that I wanted a fresher one! Hahaha..little did he know of my nescience !  So, at the end of the day, a lady was saved from being exposed as inerudite person !
