this was on the headlines of the star online ed today.
i didn't know which was funnier: the use of the word taugeh instead of beansprouts on the national English newspaper, the fact that the price of taugeh going up by 10 sen warrants an entire news report or the picture of the middle aged dude manhandling his taugeh while wearing really short shorts who reminds me of a char kuey teow seller - he makes me sentimental and wistful.
