This conversation happened on the way home, with us huddled under a single small umbrella in the drizzles, one of those nights when the temperatures start to dip in Shanghai.
The Bitch and I have recently found a new love together — Baguette with Fish Roe (ming tai zi), offered at a Japanese owned French bakery at Metro City, 2 blocks away from our apartment. We buy a loaf or two to indulge in pretty often these days. Today was one of those days we decided to eat out at Metro City for dinner, so we bought two loaves of Baguette with Fish Roe for supper later. It was freshly toasted just for us!
On the way home:
Me: The bread very nice hor. Just toasted somemore. Super shiok.
The Bitch: Yeah loh. Freshly toasted does taste different. But the guy didn’t put as much roe as before leh.
Me: (Touching the bag from the bakery) Haiyah, cold already.
The Bitch: (Holding the umbrella and wincing from the rain) Yeah we should hug tighter since it’s much colder today. Later must on electric blanket before we go to bed too.
Me: I meant the bread….cold already not so nice to eat….
